The craft fair last week went really well, I made a profit of £70 despite being in a rubbish room on a quiet day. So pleased with that.
I’ve also been accepted for a 4 day christmas market at Spitalfields. This is deeply exciting as it’s a trendy part of London and will get loads of promotion. Need to get my stall looking super pro- working on some supports and stuff to vary the height of the layout and so on.
So things are really moving!

So this week I finally felt settled/motivated enough to get up and grab some opportunities for myself in the jewellery/craft arena:
- I have applied for Brick Lane market, and have got a stall at a craft fair near Archway on Sunday.
- I took some nice photos of my work and put them up online here:

- I designed some business cards, a big banner, and some posters and got them printed out and laminated- more professional than my hand drawn attempts!
- I went for a meeting about volunteering at Craft Central, an organisation which supports, aids and promotes designer makers in London. I’ve ended up with a brief to write a review of the craft fair on sunday in a blog style, with a view to potentially writing a blog with supplementary info sheets for newbiw designers. Great opportunity and I’m psyched about it.
- I’ve made some great new designs.
So I feel like I’ve taken a massive leap forward and taken the first steps to getting myself ‘out there’ in London, which isn’t an easy thing to do! Pretty daunting. But I’m pleased with myself. Let’s see how the fair goes…

I’m also thinking about writing a recipe book…
Have started writing up and collecting some recipes.
