got someone to come and see my machine on friday to tell me whether it is worth being fixed or not… still can’t believe it… was a wedding present 4 yrs ago …stayed in its box unopened til feb and motor has given up already! So of course is out of guarantee, warranty etc….
Gosh I’d better sell some scarves at this craft fair on sat! I’ll need the money for a new sewing machine if its un fixable! Fingers crossed!
one of the newer scarves being modelled by the lovely claire!
My computer went down my sewing machine has bust! – it feels like the sky is falling on my head!
on a positive note I phoned Invercottage and they definately are going to place an order for their exclusive Maclachlan tartan scarves in Jan so that is positive! Also Maison Cadeaux is going to take some sale or return! Things are going up and down here! I really felt as if I had my arms cut off when the server was down though!
I got some black watch tartan at a good price so I was going to make a black watch check scarf for Saturdays craft fair – I’ll have to see if I can borrow some one elses machine!
The craft fair I am doing is ‘Made in the Shade’ at the light house GlaSGOW 10.30 til 5.30 this sat 25th of October.
The craft fair at Byblos was mainly students so the cashmere wraps didn’t go down well…….infact – didn’t sell any! Had some people interested in looking and saying they are gorgeous but not willing to spend £39. Most of the stalls didn’t sell much and some like us didn’t even cover their cost of the stall…oh well it was for charity I guess….
Hopefully the one at the litehouse will be better apparently it is more of a mix of people who come….so here’s hoping … Any way at least i’ve got the stock already for it!
So that was our first craft fair!
at last managed to work out how to put those etsy buttons on here so people can go straight to my shops! Hooray! Feeling quite proud of myself as I really am quite a technophobe though I try hard not to be!
This week is rushing by already… I’m Teaching on wed and so far this week I’ve been dashing around and its only monday….sorting the wean out with all their classes! Hectic! Today i had to take part in jo jingles class pretending to enjoy dancing around with a feather so that the wean who was sitting in corner with arms crossed might join in!……….worked though!
Had quite a few invoices to do and to finalise craft fair stuff……….
