Fourth Craft Fair of the year
Iv'e been to a few more craft fairs since I last posted back in February, three in fact and sales are slowly creeping up.
I have had lots of new ideas that are being put into practice and many comment of positive feedback on my work at my shows so far.
Praise makes it all worth while when someone likes your work enough to take it home with them.
I recently met a lady called Alison who runs Crafty Pandy, she makes lovely sewn items, cushions, bags, quilted blankets etc and recently my lovely table cloth she made for me which shows off my resin items beautifully.

Below - My lovely table cloth that Alison made me to show off my resin ware.
At present I'm busy making items ready for Fathers Day - 21st June.
I thought I would put together a few keyrings at around £4 each - hopefully, pocket money prices!
I'm also working on some resin Fathers Day coasters with bottle tops and dad confetti, they are looking promising so far.
Designing something different that will stand out in a crowd is the key and having fun in the process of course!
Fathers Day Keyrings ready for Wickham Village Hall on Saturday 9th May
I've met some lovely crafters over the last few months all with exceptional talents, this is all thanks to Michelle the lady who's been organising all the crafting events I've attending so far.
Michelle runs "from the craft box" she is a single mummy to daughter Sophia,
who has been working extremely hard this year getting her craft events off the ground and promoting local British Crafts at its best.
She's doing a great job and word is getting out there and customer numbers are slowly building with each event - keep up the good work Michelle us crafters all appreciate your hard efforts.
The 2 links below will take you to Michelle's facebook page and also to the actual "From the Craft Box" site which shows future events for 2015, so please come along if you are in the area.

I have pre-booked quite a few craft fairs for this year, 15 in fact and for someone who only previously booked two a year, its going to be interesting to say the least to see how well this change of career pans out over 2015.
Some of my crating events so far.
Whites Way in Hedge End - Saturday 7th March
Porchester Community Hall - Saturday 11th April
Colden Common at Otterbourne - Saturday 2nd May
I'm looking forward to the surprises the rest of the crafting year has in stall for me:)
