First of all .. HAPPY NEW YEAR! ... 2014 seem to be a long one. But quite a lot has happened and I'm now ready to move on to the next one :) I said to myself that after graduating I wanted a job in textiles before Christmas.... I guess you could say I succeeded.
I had the lovely opportunity to be apart of a brand new craft shop that opened up about 3 months ago and had great lot of success! All thanks to Tracy Braybrook and Kate Donohoe :) I was able to sell some of my work which honestly I originally thought never would but being apart of that shop gave me a new faith in my work and now I feel so encouraged to keep making!
I thought I'd finally take the opportunity to mention the awesome crafters that were n the shop that everyone definitely needs to look at... everyone's work is so different but all lovely and interesting, there's something for everyone:
