Learning curve

So, the craft fair.... Didn't go as well as hoped. I managed to sell one item but other than that it wasn't a hit.

Im looking on it as a good experience, the bright side... I now have business cards, proper craft insurance too.

Dressmaking course

So, every Monday I am partaking in a dressmaking course at a local high school. I was very excited to learn that this year they had started this so I signed up straight away!

It started last week, first week included talking us through making a block for our pattern (measuring our figure to make pattern pieces esp for us)

We're aiming to make a skirt specifically for ourselves. I'll post the final product...fingers crossed it gies well. I'm hopefully going to replicate it for my girl too x

The craft fair is approaching

So, this time tomorrow I will have completed my first ever craft fair. To say I'm nervous is an understatement, but...what will be will be I guess.

I have made a selection of items, have pictures of custom orders etc but prices are baffling me at present.

Hopefully my girl will let me sleep tonight to enable me to be more prepared. Have my trusty friend Vicky on hand though... Wish me luck x

Silent Sunday.... x

A lie in - 6.30am !

I had a lie in today, 6.30am.

I've been thinking back to before I had madam where waking up at 6.30am would have been seen as torture and now its a lie in. Isn't it funny how things change your perspective on life.

The thought of a full nights sleep these days are a dream. 3 nights this week she's done it and it's like heaven. Fingers crossed it keeps up.
