Much Ado about nothing...

Hello Floaty folk,

Just a quick post to keep you updated with current affairs at FVD HQ. Put kettle on and get comfy.

Alas no pretty pictures in this blog, because as I type I am sneakily using my husbands laptop... My laptop is at the Tech hospital hopefully being fixed, there wasnt anything specific wrong with it, it just needs a clean up so it runs faster. Hence no piccy's as I am under strict instructions "NOT TO DOWNLOAD ANY PICTURES OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT MAKE MY COMPUTER AS SLOW AS YOURS" Mr.FVD is so strict sometimes.. ;)

At present I am working on the new mini collection entitled Critter, a mini Collection in FVD land is around half the size of a fully formed collection and is tightly based around a smaller genre, with this one think butterflies, think Birds and the bee's and a dragonfly or 2 to boot...release date is looking to be around Friday.

In line with my new Year's resolution, I am still continuing learning new things, at present I am very much into polymer clay, I just made a stunning Autumn leaves Waterfall necklace but dont want to show yet as the Sun has only just started Shinning and who am I to Jinx it? (Yep im already thinking of Autumn/Winter, sorry but they are my favourite seasons)

Increasingly I am also thinking about expansion, dont get me wrong I love thinking up new collections and bringing them to you, however I want to Show FVD to the World not just FB land, I have contacted afew local gift shops about stocking my items in their shops and am awaiting responses, Im also in the middle of drafting an email to a fellow designer about a collaboration, something I think will benefit us both. Im also having that age old debate in my head, etsy or folksy, folksy or etsy? I know I need to choose one and develop it but which one will be beneficial to my little business? if you have any insights I would be more than grateful to hear your thoughts.

Ok I know I said no pretty pictures, but this is from my hubbies album, Ive started thinking already of a first anniversary present for him, the first year is traditionally paper, and I was thinking I wanted to stick with that, so I am appealing for your help, what can I get the love of my life for our first anniversary to do with paper?

I will buzz off now, lots of crafting to do, shopping list to write, hoover to push around...

Until next time,

Much Love,

Mrs.Floaty x
