UnderBARA BARN Fair 2009

Proudly presenting the For George space at the UnderBARA BARN (wonderful children) fair last weekend! Mum was a star and helped me get ready, calmed my stressed out nerves, and came with some brilliant suggestions, such as the carpet dressed table... very nice touch!

The space looked sooo much better than most others. I'm biased but also very self critical, and some stands looked really crap!

I got so much praise for my designs and will get some good coverage in some really good magazines, very excited about that! Networked with other trades people, which will hopefully lead to me selling my stuff in their stores, and one girl is looking into introducing a new high chair for children and possibly want me to design the pattern for the fabric for it! And lots more...

Laura's lovely quilts also got lots of praise and she got her first Swedish order, by a very nice girl who I'm sure will love her special quilt.

Big up also to bestest Petra and Thessan for helping me on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Looking back at it now, I'm really really pleased with the outcome of it all. I feel very proud, almost made the money back (80% of it, good for being a first show), and have even had half a dozen new orders since Sunday! Hurraaaa For George!
