Third craft fair passed and it has went really well. I sold two dolls...well a doll and a mermaid. Which brings my total to five dolls sold over the space of three craft fairs, which is awesome. Really need to get my skates on and get a few more made up before my first ever all day event on the 5th of December. Really excited about this one, this is the big push for my wee hobby/business venture.
I am fully aware that I am rambling on but I have been slowly trying to get this off the ground for the last year. It needs to be said that I didn't have a lot of faith in it to begin with, my family were always over the moon with the things I made through out my years at college and I just thought they were being biased because they are my family. Until I made one just to see how long it would take and that was it, 13 months later and I am selling at craft fairs and have 8 booked for next year (see Events page).
The only problem with next year is when do I stop craft fairs to keep time for the whole getting married scenario...still can't believe I am actually getting married. I'm booked right up until June...might try and squeeze one more in before August...maybe 2 more. I can see me doing one the day before I get married. My mother would kill me though which might stub the flow of creativity for a while. Speaking of the flow of creativity I better get back to work or it will be a 2 doll stand on Wednesday.
