I am currently at that point of time when you realise that you have a lot to do and so very little time to do it in. In fact perhaps even writing this blog should have come later in the day, but dammit I wanted a custard cream and a cuppa.
This time next week I would have done my first of two craft shows of this year. I haven't done one in such a long time that I almost forgot what I need to do, and how much time it takes to prepare. Sure I should have done a lot of it a while ago, but as ever its the classic of its fine I have plenty of time....Uhmm no I don't. That's the problem when you also work a full time job which also has it's own set of deadlines. It's a bit of a pickle but it will all be okay on the day.
Today in order to get ready I spent most of the morning trying to work out the stand display, I'll be honest I am not a 100% happy with it, but I think it will work. The problem I have is that I have created a lot of things, and its hard to link the pieces together. So what you see in the photographs is only half of what I have stored away, and I have a feeling I will end up not displaying some of the items when I get there. I am fussy with layouts, and so I think I'll end up with a less is more approach come next Saturday. For instance I like the way I have hung my clocks and small wall art pictures but not so happy with the container for the needle cases, top left of the picture (see above). The tissue holders also don't look great, but then I haven't put the tissues into them yet, so perhaps will look better, less flat. I shall ponder on it some more today.
I still have to prep some more needle cases, and make a few more tissue holders, and I want to start a project that I can work on when I am there. I am thinking either another more complex clock or picture. I have a design that I came across last night that I have yet to do anything with. Then I have the bags to stamp up and price labels still to write.
Phew...
Ps. In case you have forgotten where I will be showing -
