Hello again!
Before I go any further I’d like to say sorry for neglecting
my blog – I can’t believe my last entry was over six months ago. How time flies! I’ve made a promise to myself to update this
blog very regularly from now on and I hope you enjoy it…
For the last four days I’ve been at the Hobbycrafts
Show at Birmingham NEC, leading workshops and generally meeting and chatting to
all the lovely people who came to shop and have fun. This is the
first time I’ve done anything like this, and on my way to the show I felt both
nervous and excited, all at the same time.
I needn’t have been nervous though, as everyone made me feel very
welcome and everyone I met was lovely.

It felt strange being fitted with a microphone. Mike, a Create & Craft colleague who was
in charge of the workshop area, suggested that I’m so loud that I don’t need a
microphone! Thanks Mike… I think!
The workshops were great fun. They are free to everyone, the only
stipulation was that people had to book a place in advance to enable us to
manage the numbers. There were fifteen
people on each workshop and during the four days I led seven workshops. They were very popular events - tickets were
all gone within ten minutes of them becoming available each day!
The thing that made the workshops so enjoyable for me
was the attitude of the people who took part.
We all had a laugh, everyone joined in, and people still had fun even on
the odd occasion when the things didn’t quite turn out quite as we had hoped – which is something that happens to even the most
skilful crafters out there.

Although the four days were very hard work and
exhausting, I really enjoyed myself. I
love meeting members of the Create & Craft family and I can’t wait for next weekend and Crafting Live in Peterborough! (Spoiler alert - I'm doing 'Make and Takes' for the two days using Midas touch foils. So please come and have a go)
