Success & Exciting Times

Normal service is finally starting to resume. Yesterday I was showing my lovely stash at the We Make London Arts & Crafts fair at Battersea Arts Centre, and it went rather well! Whilst I didn't sell a huge amount, what I did sell I felt extremely pleased with as it included the new items the peter pan collars, one of which was the Buzzing Bee's design which means I can start to donate to the BBKA. The only thing I think I should have done was to leave the pattern at home and instead brought more of the clocks, especially the earlier pieces. But you live and you learn. 

After getting over the initial nerves of talking to people, I thoroughly enjoyed talking to other sellers and potential buyers and it was helped along with a bit of a giggle from my dear friend Angela who very kindly modelled one of my collar designs, which helped show them off to people who were looking at them on the table. 

I am however, glad to have a bit of a break from thinking about the fair, though it has sparked several billion ideas for 2013. Great things are coming. I have other things to think on, I am moving soon. Bit of a relief I can't tell you and this is a big step, on the property ladder which has seen me look like a startled rabbit these past few days, only because I didn't think that would ever happen let alone now. 

So I will  be moving at some point to a beautiful two bedroom flat, yes two bedrooms. 

You know what this means....

A STUDIO

Oh and somewhere friends can crash...but...

I WILL HAVE MY VERY OWN STUDIO!!

Yep, totally over the top excited about this. My own space to spread and have everything in one place. A place I can shut the door on. I already have a colour in mind for the room. I know jumping a head but its hard not to think about how you want to decorate, and this is the first time I have been able to do it properly. 

So there might be a bit of a disruption in the near future with blog, website and shop but I'll keep you lovely folks updated. In the meantime, my store is back up and running and there is a few new bits of stock just added.

For now I crash.
