Preparations are well under way for our first craft fair of 2010, which will take place in Hillhead Library in Glasgow’s West End this coming Saturday.
In the true spirit of leaving everything until the last minute, we have a list as long as both our arms of work to complete before Saturday morning and, in the true spirit of procrastination (something that we are very good at) Alasdair is currently rewiring the house and replacing the plasterboard, while I am busy redesigning and packaging my button pendants.
Going off on a tangent for a moment, these boards to hold my necklaces were made partially from the paper I made a couple of weeks ago. I mounted the paper onto mount board and stamped ‘madestuff’ along the bottom, cut a couple of notches in the top to hold the cord and (in a later version) threaded a piece of wire through to hold the cord in place. I’m so pleased with the way they worked out.
So, the list of things to do is still as long as our arms; however it’ll be alright on the day and if you would like to come along and meet us in person, and see some of the many other wonderful crafts on sale from numerous other makers, we’d love to see you there.
The details are on our events page.

I left everything to the last minute too but it would seem that we needn’t have bothered as the craft fair is cancelled :( boo
Necklaces look good though!

Ach well, “c’est la vie” as they say. We’ve got another fair in a couple of weeks time and then Edinburgh two weeks after that, guess it just means we’re super prepared for those ones :)
