hello!
its been a while, Id like to say iv been so busy that I simply haven't had time to blog, but that would be a lie! After several craft fairs, and not many sales i decided to take some time to regroup, and think of where I want my business to go,plus I found myself totally wrapped up in the Olympics and ended up watching far too much diving and swimming!I'm enjoying the stress free crafting I have been able to do, with no deadlines to meet I have been making a quilt, and the odd t-shirt for my son to wear to nursery (yes I an shamelessly going to use my son as a walking advert for my clothes) But I have found the craft fairs to be an invaluable source of advice, Its fantastic speaking to other stall holders who for them this is a full time job, how they got where they are and the advice they can offer, by the end of my mammoth weekend I went home full of ideas.I have realised I have to think bigger, think about being stocked in shops rather then selling myself, yes I am building a website, and I will still do the odd craft fair, but Im building a brand and a career, so I have to be ambitious enough to reach for something that right now seems so far away. So its back to the drawing board, stream lining what I do and above all getting it out there as a quality product.....lets hope my current level of motivation is still here come September when my son goes to nursery and for the first time in 3 years Il have mornings to myself, the temptation to veg out or go back to bed may prove impossible to resist!
