Labelling up my pencil rolls ✏️
My labels have all been designed and created by me, to fit my handmade products. Making them myself means I can ensure they work for my products - as well as being able to whip up a few extras at a moment's notice if I run out!

If you're looking for something to do around North

If you're looking for something to do around Northamptonshire this weekend, head over to the Bell Plantation near Towcester and have a mooch around @margoandevietoo. I could spend hours in there looking at all the vintage finds and handmade items!
Also, I've got a cabinet there full of my journals, stationery and bookish bits 📖

I've had a lurgy (😪) so I've not got much done so far this week! It's nice to work from home, though, so I can rest when needed... and occasionally just sit with some herbal tea and look at the work I need to do 😆

⚓️ March Meet The Maker day 29: vision ⚓️

And just like that, we're on to the last prompt!

My vision for The Craft Fantastic is to continue with my core range of quality handmade products, made as sustainably as possible, using materials that have been upcycled or diverted from the waste stream wherever I can. This includes journals & notebooks, stationery cases, book necklaces, and bookmarks.

I love selling locally as well as online via Etsy, and you can peruse my products at @margo_and_evie and @margoandevietoo.

Best way to relax and reset? A hot drink and a book for me, please 📖 (with a bookmark I made for myself, of course 😆). It's important to remember that it's ok to take time out for yourself when you're self employed.

⚓️ March Meet The Maker day 25: product story ⚓️

These journals were the first where I worked out the design myself - starting with figuring out measurements, then making templates, before creating the notebooks from scratch.
I was very sure what I wanted to achieve when I started out: a solid front and back cover, but with a flexible leather spine; something that fits with the look & feel of my range.
I keep tweaking and updating the design to see if I can improve it - this one has a page marker, pen holder and a small pocket in the back.

Do as the rainbow pirate unicorn says. Be as much yourself as you can possibly be, and don't skimp on your you-ness for anyone. OK? Ta.

⚓️ March Meet The Maker day 18: process ⚓️

Using rescued leather for my makes often means a little sorting and prep! I need to sort the leather for suitability, clean and remove any labels and sticky bits - then I can use my templates to cut to size before attaching together or sewing. I love the making process 💕
