Diary Dates
Welcome to the weekend Friends!
This weekend I am hanging out with all the wonderfully folks behind some of the leading craft and hobby companies at the ICHF Trade Show, Craft, Hobby + Stitch International (Or Stitches, to friends!) This is one of the events in my calendar that I really can’t wait for – its a time when so many of the people I work with, am inspired by, aspire to work with and just plain respect are all in one place at one time. Yup – its something of a frenzy of business cards, busy meetings, frantic note making and gathering inspiration for all around. Bliss for a busy-lovin’ gal like me.
This event also marks the start of my year travelling about attending shows and events around the country, so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to share with you my Diary Dates for the year ahead!
