Mini Tapestry...part 2

The photographer brought round my photos today...and they're fabulous! Lots of thanks to the lovely Miss L. Not only has she edited all my photos...she has watermarked them for me. They look beautiful.

The last few days have been like a whirlwind. One amazing day after another.

At the craft fair on Saturday, once again, I only heard positive comments about my products. That gives me so much confidence to charge ahead with my business. I met some great people, from customers to other craft stall holders to a potential business partner, to someone who just needed my help and advice which I gladly gave.

So...the potential business partner...I met someone who is interested in selling my products through a website she is setting up for local businesses. Both she, and a potential customer, said they had never seen designs like mine. Which is good...they're copyrighted!

Sunday I spent all day glued to my laptop designing my website. Monday was spent buying materials...and wilting in the heat!

Yesterday I went to an Enterprise Club meeting to discuss the North Devon Show. I've been lucky enough to be given a pitch in a marquee with 15 other new businesses who also attend the clubs. Very exciting!

At the end of the meeting I was approached by one of the businesses about selling my products in her new shop...which is due to open in town very soon. At this point the 'Giddy Kipper' excitement went into overdrive!

Today I had a meeting with one of my mentors. He said he's quite envious of me being in charge of my own destiny...even if I am working into the wee hours of the night...and stood up and shook my hand at the end of the meeting. I walked out of that building with my head held high! Off I went to buy materials...with the confidence to ask about bulk buying and discounts.

It is very true...the basic law of physics is positive attracts positive. That...and a willingness to put the hours in!

For the rest of today I've been glued to my laptop again...my Facebook page is complete and ready to go live...my shop now has products listed...I just need to finalise postage costs...my website needs some more photos adding...and my Twitter profile needs editing.

All will be finished tomorrow...ready for launching on Friday! Yip Yip Yipppeeeeee!

I'm looking forward to introducing my products to you!

Here's the second mini tapestry that I made.

Some of the flowers are represented by small pink beads that I've sewn onto the canvas.






Until tomorrow,
