Spring in my Step

With the Craft Fair in Morningside just around the corner on the 25th April, I am busy making lots of stock to sell. It’s in the Columcille Centre, which is at 2 Newbattle Terrace just along from the Dominion Cinema. So I hope you can pop along to say hi!

I also got some brilliant news this week from the organisers of the West End Craft & Design Fair to say I had been successful it getting a space.
For any of you who don’t live in Edinburgh this is the fair to visit. It runs throughout the World famous International Festival and is sited on one of the busiest junctions in Edinburgh at St Johns church on the corner of Princes St.

Having been a customer of the fair for many years and bought lots presents for myself and friends, it’s so exciting that stripykat is going to be there. I have a stall for one week from the 17th – 23rd August, so please come and visit me. For the next few months I am going to be stocking up the shelves of stripykat to ensure I have lots of stock to take with me.

Once I had calmed down and stopped skipping around, I jumped straight into the abyss, known as blogging. Yes, not one to shy away from technology unless that is of course it’s explained to me by a computer geek talking only the language they know, with such terms as "hypertext transfer protocol" and "uploading zip files via FTP" I mean, what the hell is that all about?

I have embraced the blog world with a big bear hug, it’s maybe a bit sad to admit it but have already become rather addicted to it. I have been a reader of blogs for a while and loved the friendly and sharing atmosphere of them, especially the craft sites. If you fancy a nosey you can find it at www.stripykat.co.uk.

I will continue to send out a monthly newsletter, but it will be short and sweet with the highlights on what’s been going on. As I am sure you will all be avid readers of the blog I would hate to bore you.

I hope you all have a fantastic Easter holiday and don’t eat too many choccies!
