On my way

Well, today i created a website for my stuff. It's still got a long way to go but it's a start! See what you think....           craftycaris.weebly.com

I used weebly.com which is a great site and most importantly FREE!!! I've been asking people to let me know if they think my creations are sellable and then, depending on the reaction, i'll know whether to move to the next step of actually pricing the items and all the delivery/payment side of things! Don't get me wrong, i'm not out to become a millionaire (although obviously that would be lovely) but i would like to able to contribute to the household bills. I have health problems that prevent me working so my fiance (who is wonderful beyond words) has been supporting me!

I just want to be able to pay my fair share of the bills and such and be a bit more independant, and if i can achieve that by doing what i love...well then thats the good life!! 

So, here's where you can help me out. Please look at my stuff and let me know what you think. The plan is to either sell items pre-made or people can bring me their stuff and i'll colour it up the colours you choose! Either way you get a one of a kind piece once i'm done!

Getting started

I've been wanting to start my own business since forever, The biggest problem really was working out what it would be. What can i do? What do i have to offer? What if it fails? What if...what if...what if????

 It suddenly came to me a few weeks ago...What if??? SO WHAT!!! At least I'll have tried. If it does go wrong, well then I'll learn from my mistakes and try again! So finally i decided to get off my butt and get going, After reading lots online and especially reading Leonie Dawson's blogs which are so inspirational i made a start. Check out her website here...http://leoniedawson.com/affiliate-redirect/?p=CraftyCaris&w=homepage  

I had to work out what i was good at and what i enjoyed doing. I must have sat for about an hour (it felt like days) trying to figure this out! I was staring blankly at a couple of things I'd made that morning ( a photo frame and a patchwork covered notebook) that were still drying, and it hit me!

THIS is what i love to do...and I am good at it too! I LOVE TO CREATE! I love to take everyday objects and give them a bit of  colour! Make the ordinary just a little bit less ordinary.

 So i started finding pictures of all the "tweaks" I've made to furniture and other odds and ends in my little flat!

I created a page on facebook to show off my creations! My page is Crafty Caris if you want to have a look  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Crafty-Caris/131418043667133

Thus begins the beginning and lets see what i can make of it!
