So with ongoing work commitments, the next two weeks tied up in Jury Service (!?!) and assignment deadlines looming, I have had
even less time to craft this week then last!
I have been
creating however…
Mini Cards!!!
'Cute, but why?' you might ask...
Well, whilst I
generally craft for my own kicks (I’m itching to get back to
actually making something - funny how much I miss it when I can't do it), I would love to be able to sell some of what I make.
...One of my favourite daydreams is that I live in a sunny farmhouse in the country, pad around barefoot, make lots of scones/ other baked goods and sustain my way of life by crafting for a living... we can but dream...
In reality, I simply tend to make duplicates of whatever is on my crafting list that week and I can’t gift them all! So the way i figure it, they may as well go to a loving home somewhere else! Fortunately I promised myself at the start of the year, that I would slowly start finding ways of selling a few bits and pieces... hence the cards.
Now whilst I don't have anything to sell yet, or even a functioning shop to sell anything in for that matter (well i have a shell of an etsy shop but nothing worth peeking at yet) I got quite excited about
Moo's minicards - so I took my first step towards meeting my new years resolution and created myself a few business type cards. I LOVE them! It perked up my day no end when they arrived. I will probably spend the next 6 months giving them out with gifts, rather than sending them out with items bought, but thats okay. At least its a start!
