How I did it
How to get better at working from home
It took me
3 months
It made me
relaxed

How I did it: At first I was very strict with myself and actually worked with fewer breaks and comforts than I do in the office, as I almost felt guilty for being in my home environment and I felt that I had to prove myself.I then became more relaxed and found I was struggling to get motivated, and wasting time.After moving into my new flat which had decent internet, comfortable and quiet places to work and a pleasant outlook, I settled into a routine … Read how I did it…

How to have a more successful shot at living the life I want to in London
It took me
11 months
It made me
delighted

How I did it: I left London to get some space and a change of scene, and to re-examine my priorities in life. I went off travelling for 4 months and spent another 5 months living in Oxford and seeing family and friends. When my boyfriend was due to start an MA in London, I decided I'd move back with him but that it would have to be on my terms and I had a set of criteria:- either a garden, or a park/wood close by- working from home alot more- working a… Read how I did it…

How to spend more quality time with my friends
It took me
9 months
It made me
a better friend

How I did it: I used to try and see multiple people/ groups of people at a time/in one night- this was because I felt if I didn't see people regularly, or said no to invitation, I was being a bad friend.It turned out that a much more rewarding approach for me and for them, was to set aside a whole evening or day to spend with one friend, or one group of friends, and make it really special and fun. Less frequent, but better quality time with my friends … Read how I did it…

exciting times... 1 week ago

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!

when you are proactive- things happen!! 2 weeks ago

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…
