I have spent most of the weekend knocking up a small brochure however. Now, is it just me, or does writing something official that can be classed as advertising mean you actually have to think. And it hurts right? I mean even if you know your audience, it never ceases to amaze me how clever you have to be. To be able to write something that is both eye catching, easy to read and stand out. It won't look bad once it's done. When it's done... maybe... possibly... My hubby works in a school. Would it be child labour to make it a project for the kids to do for me ;) (kidding).
I haven't seen my partner in crime this week as I thought I would, so I am still waiting on her arrangements. However it didn't stop me from playing with beads this weekend. Nothing impressive to share with my crafty friends (at least no photos - just means I have more ammo for another post hehehe) but here are a few odds and sods.
If you couldn't tell I had a thing about key rings this weekend. I think that may have been fuelled by my losing my keys... twice. Under all this black, I'm actually blonde! No really I am!
Oh yeah... and I knocked out this demin bag for someone. I don't need to panic about them seeing it though. They don't follow my blog :P Their loss, beats trying to search the house for mothers present hiding place this year.
I would like to implore all of you to make your way to 1st Unique Gifts and join in Handmade Monday. If you don't have anything to show this week, why not just pop along and read up on other crafters craftiness.
I thought that you key rings would also make great bag charms... they are super!
ReplyDeleteLove the key rings especially that silver flower. Nope, it wouldn't be child labour to get the children to do your brochure, it could be classed as educational! hehe
ReplyDeleteI love your odds and sods - well done. Look forward to seeing your other goodies
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, no fun trying to be witty and catchy on paper on a level to suit the majority and the minority alike. Love your little bag and your first keyring would hang beautifully on it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty keyrings, I tend to 'misplace' my keys (never lose them) so keyrings are an essential thing for me. The bag is great too, I usually have a couple at craft fairs and they normally do well. I like the little pocket on the front.

I know what you mean about writing something official. It drives me mad sometimes, especially when it comes to writing descriptions on my website.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag charms and good luck with the writing and yes it is hard.
ReplyDeleteI love those keyrings, I have more keyrings than keys myself, they're actually quite addictive. I've just bought my website package ready to try to tackle at the weekend so I've got all the joys of writing descriptions to come! Sounds a nightmare. Loving the bag too, its really sweet. x
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I do know what you mean about trying to write 'official' stuff - trying to sound vaguely professional but not too stuffy, trying to fit in your 'keywords', etc etc aaaaagh!! I HATE IT - lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the keyrings - and I love the fact you can just 'knock out' a bag! You make it sound so easy but I could never do that. xx
It's amazing how much time all that writing and promotion takes when all you want to do is to be making! Love those keyrings, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely denim bag and I agree with Ros, the keychains would make great bag charms.
