I've been busy making for the markets I've had coming up in June - unusually for me, three weekends in a row.
I've made lots of suncatcher type gifts - so small items really, that often sell well, but take a while longer than larger pieces. Then my Etsy shop ran out of stars (again!) midweek, so they had to be remade, wired and replaced on stock.
I wondered a few weeks ago if I should be putting things for C******** out at markets, and during a quiet period at one recently, had a discussion with fellow stall holder, and friend from the Cardiff and Valleys Etys team (CaVEtsy), Ruth of Mablijack about the merits of it. I was assured that I should, as 'people buy throughout the year for...'.

Well, surprise surprise (now I've turned into Cilla, bless her) NOT ONE COMPLAINT. The only xmas mentioning comments I had were along the lines of -'those will be lovely on the xmas tree won't they?', and I sold at least one robin for someone's tree among the other bits and pieces that went over the weekend. - Result? Already thinking of designing different angels for this year, and working out how much glass and what colours I need (just incase there's a glass shortage! - I kid you not, with the problems the glass makers have been having In the USA, there may well be. Let's hope not eh? Or what will I have to show you?

True to form, I didn't take photographs, but I was so pleased with how the hangers turned out, they may become part of my ever elusive "style".
