Welcome to the Ministry of Craft blog… the chatty side of the business.
Well we launched last week and there were nervous butterflies in my stomach as we welcomed out first customers to Sew your own appliqué cushion, but our customers were lovely, the machines worked like dreams and Sue put on her best show… Since then we’ve talked lots of technical terms on Intro to photography, all of which I am proud to say I understand. The downside is that my husband feels hard done by – he’s been trying to teach me about aperture for years! The upside - he will now be Anne’s photography helper, while I get to stay at home and work, babysit and watch the Apprentice! Our knitters were natterers and we got the thumbs up all round. Even the playlist on the ipod was complimented on and we all finished our fab purses, which is a first for me as all my previous knitting projects are in carrier bags, in the bottom of a box hidden in the loft (I suffer from heavy craft guilt). I am amazed at how addictive it is is and one of our customers, who shall remain nameless, will be at the Manchester Christmas Craft Markets selling knitted wares, I am sure of it….
