...



Well, things around here have been super busy, although Lost in The Forest has taken a back seat whilst The Spider and The Fly got going.

It's now time to start making again, not least because I finished my last day of my 'day job' at North Edinburgh Arts yesterday giving me more time and less icome!....I've been there a while, under many job titles. I started as a volunteer around 2 years ago and progressed through to Arts Coordinator...I'm sad to leave but excited at what the future holds (once I get images of failure and destitution from my mind!). It's scary, although I've always been self-employed or working on a freelance basis this is the first time I'm really out here on my own! It's totally what I needed to do though to make both Lost in The Forest and The Spider and The Fly (and Magpie!) develop and grow successfully! I'll be able to dedicate the time and energy required....and maybe start answering my emails in a timely manner and stop looking like I've had no sleep.

So, Lost in the Forest will be back out and about at selected markets and events – starting with Granny Would be Proud at Glasgows Hillhead Bookclub this Sunday! You'd think I might have given myself a break....

An online shop of somekind will be back up soon as well – although I'm still undecided between Etsy, Folksy, BigCartel or some other thing. Anybody have any preference, or positive/negative experiences of each? Maybe a combination of them, but that's never really worked out so well in the past....
