Update - New Felt

The last two, bringing my normal range up to 80 wonderful colours!  

I'm also introducing these new 'Painters' felts.  Hand-painted using colours typical of famous painters (hence the name).  They are a little bit different to anything else out there, so I thought I'd give them a go.  Here's the first six out of eleven.  If they are popular I'll get the others in the shops too.

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 ;)

I wonder...

....what the customer in SOUTH AUSTRALIA!!! is going to be making with all this yummy felt?
