to begin with, a thank you...


Here we are, my shiny new craft design blog. Here I shall post updates on designs, in-progress pictures, ideas and links - and so on.

It's a busy time of year for craft artisans and designers - that window of opportunity is here! We might just sell a few things:) So I hope to update frequently so that I can share links to other blogs with wonderful handmade items for sale. I am grateful to others who share their work, share their passions, without you there inspiration can sometimes feel a little 'thin'. But you're there, sharing and that's a good thing.

I'm excited to know handmade crafts are gradually, gradually, gaining some status in the design world. Still a long way to go, perhaps. There is a quiet revolution going on, people do not want to buy mass-produced generic stuff, they don't want the same as everyone else. There's a need for individualism, there's an appreciation for objects made with love and skill.....

I'm working on my website right now. Just got the domain and the front page, but you can find it here if you want a little peek. Not much to see, sorry.
