Revisiting the Business Plan

This month's hot topic is business planning. This was a subject we covered in one of the very first Crafty Business sessions, and since a business plan is something that continues to evolve as your business grows, we thought it would be good to revisit.

If you have questions you would particularly like answered, or aspects of business planning you'd like covered, do leave us a comment here and we'll do our best!

Please note we've got another change of venue – we'll be in the Brew Bar at the Dux Deluxe from 7pm on Monday 3 May.

As always, feel free to bring along something you're working on, something you'd like feedback on or just a general show and tell item.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Stash reHash, 11am – 2pm, Sunday 18 April

This is the moment Christchurch crafters have been waiting for: Stash reHash returns!

From 11am till 2pm this Sunday 18 April, dozens of stalls selling all manner of fabric, yarn, haberdashery, patterns, vintage textiles and other crafty treasures will fill the Scottish Society Hall on the corner of Edgeware and Caledonian Roads in St Albans, Christchurch.

The Arthritis Foundation stall will be a sight to behold – they’ve received countless donations of fabric and haberdashery items and of course all proceeds from their sales will go to the Arthritis Foundation, so it’s win all around!

Entry is free, but be sure to take cash, shopping bags (or perhaps a wheelbarrow) and at least a few friends – you’ll need to be prepared for heaps of tempting bargains. Plus, the St. Alban’s School PTA have organised food and the Retro Coffee Cart will be there with all the vital caffeine supplies, so there are all the makings of a fabulous crafty day out.

Don’t miss the return of Christchurch’s very own divine, irresistibly fabulous fabric and craft supplies market – see you there at 11am this Sunday!
