Middle of the night munchings & musings

I knew that things would calm down on the blogging front but I can't believe it has been so long!

I have been visiting a few local markets and fairs looking for inspiration and Christmas prezzies, I am impressed with the dedication of some of these traders, I understand that it is cheeper than having a shop base but it was mighty cold.

It is also good that they are regular, as customers - like me - see what they like and plan to go back. Should I commit to a regular stall?

Would there be time in addition to the workshops - it is always about the time!

Seriously need to develop a few more workshops too and of course work on my advertising!

I am trying abit of embroidery on some of my felt and I need to do the packaging on my latest needle felted creations, and my brain is a whirl of creative ideas as usual!

I also had a bracelet workshop for children which was good fun, celebrating the spooky season...

Well I've finished my cereal so it's back to bed for me - night

Retail therapy with out the guilt

So things are progressing with my little business - I have been giving it some attention since my maternity leave is coming to an end, and with it comes a whole host of emotions, excitement, anxiety, pride and fear to list just a few.

Done some good workshops at the Vintage Cafe, and Im in the process of developing some more.

We have just organised a Halloween themed workshop, in my home village of Keyingham - bracelet making, which I am very much looking forward too. Bracelet making was one of my first workshops so it is nice to revisit. I have just ordered some halloweeny beads (it's lovely when the business can pay) retail therapy without the guilt :D

What will the future hold... time changes again with my maternity finishing on Monday, back to my other job, my jar of buttons & my lovely little family...

Ill keep you posted!
