Hmmm...

*whispering*  Lets pretend it hasn't been two months since I was last here!

I've had the madness that was Christmas...

I've made a burlesque outfit (not for me before anyone comments ;) )...

I've done bulk orders... 

I've got a new soap - Chocolate!! (ready in 10 days time)...

I've made custom orders...

I've re-jigged the swatch card to make colour groups as there are so many to choose from now :D

These last few months have been ridiculously busy,  I just didn't know whether I would get everything done.  It's taken the whole of the Christmas 'quiet' period plus another three weeks for me to be able to want to do anything again.  I love that my business is successful, but blimey, that was madness!  I was hoping for a quiet January but I already have 5 orders in my book plus a list of people waiting for soaps as I just didn't have time to make new stock during November/December, then I sold out.  Madness I tell ya!

Having had a couple of years to get used to the Craft Fair circuit, I've got a few I love doing so I'll be concentrating on those, rather than trying to fit in as many as I can.  I've also got an Artisans Event in April and an Exhibition in June.   The Etsy soap shop will also be open this weekend which I'm very excited about, as I'm planning a couple of new lines too.

Right, now I've ticked this off my list of things to do, I'd best get on with some secret badges ;)

Last Christmas bits....

Mini pamper sets..

..special request for a sheep Christmas card (these will definitely be on the card list for next year!)...

..a gorgeous pair of stockings.  These were for a wedding gift :)

A special bag for a little girl.  

Soap gift bundles.

And, last but by no means least, a Christmas Hanging Bird :)

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement.

Preparing...

 ...an order of 20 birds for someone's Christmas tree!

...for my next event, which is at Water's Edge in Barton upon Humber.  Another event where we demonstrate/work while we're at the fair to show the general public the time and effort that goes into making the things we sell.
