Itchy palm and Branding!

Had an itchy palm yesterday was really thinking someone has bought something....arrhhh but no!
Oh well onward!

I have done a fair bit of researching lately into selling at craft fairs.  Instead of making it easier to take the first steps it's making it harder!! 
Where/why/who/when and what!  Never mind the how!
So many other things to think of never mind your stock!!

Talking about stock I've tagged and bagged my Christmas dec's.


 
 
They are large luggage labels with a transparent self adhesive backing printed with xmas salutations for the front!


 
 
On the back using the same printed transparent film is my business logo and Folksy shop address.


 
 
Here's an example of the deco attached to the label...through the string attachment hole...good hey!
And another in the transparent bag packaging.


 
 
I've also done this for the Stitch Keepers.


 
 
Front of label, stitch keepers tagged and bagged!


 
 
The stitch keeper blurb on the back.
 
The yarn and pattern kit using the same principle......branding dearie!
 
 
 
 
This kit has gotten a lot of views on my Folksy shop Miss Dee's Fibre Dreams.  I wonder if that means it's a good product or does it mean people's expectations haven't been met?  Who knows!

 
I'm about to finish off the scarf knitted with the pattern ready for sale. 
 
Then today i'm going to make up a couple more in different colours and textures.....I'll err on they liked the product....yup I do have quite a good yarn (and fabric for that matter) stash in my sewing room.
Just look at this
 
 
 
One of the storage areas that are seriously in need of re-organising!  Mind I have the front rolled down unless I am choosing yarn or storing finished or nearly finished projects!

And that's for another day!

Kind regards
Jacqui

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

Is ma hair alright?!

Try, try, try again! C&G Hand Embroidery course!

Hi So here I am again...so much life in between ... I am having another go at the SST Hand Embroidery course! I am hopeful to complete this time round. I haven’t stood still in my Textiles love! Here’s just some of my recent projects... My Cloth Doll making..... Notebook covers..... A Stumpwork story.....my story of an adventurous lad I used to tell my daughter when she was little! So above you see Keal and his Grandad who's ill but was the quest adventurer....he has a quest laid unsolved.... This page is nearly complete...just need to add something to the wall behind Keal...but I know not what at the moment... This will be the front cover of the Story Book (horizontally!) Another of the stories pages...a forest scene and a hidden gem for Keal to find to help solve the quest. The Introduction page, also explains the picture with Keal and his Grandfather in bed!
