Merry Christmas!

We Make pt 2

Not sure how but I made it to London and back in one piece but I did - there I was worried about having not enough stuff and it turned out I could have easily filled two tables lol. Wish I hadn't been so busy chatting to take more photos but I made a few sales, got a lot of people interested in UK Handmade and got to meet people I chat to online in the flesh which was very cool. A good day out!

Now with both of my major deadlines complete I am left with catching up on all the little jobs; emptying my inbox of over 3000 emails, listing all the stock I've made, updating my websites with new work, spring cleaning the house, preparing for Christmas, writing a list of what the things I need to do to improve my business next year and setting about achieving it. But first a badly needed cup of tea.

UK Handmade Magazine

There was a time I thought this day would never happen, but here it is, the very first edition of the UK Handmade magazine. I don't think it has quite sunk in yet and there is still a lot of work to do on the website itself but to be a part of all this is pretty awesome :D. Below is a sample of the gorgeous layout by our fantastic designer Jo Askey and you can download the full version from the website. We also have a fantastic giveaway to celebrate the launch, full details on the blog!

We Make

So finally I can show you what I was up to the other week, decorating 5 tote bags for We Make. They are being sold at the fair itself full of goodies and you can see the rest (and vote on your favourite) on the We Make blog now!
