New year, new approach...

For the first Crafty Business of 2011 on Monday 7 February we've got a new start time of 7.30pm and a new mission for the year.

Due to other commitments, the task of lining up speakers and running more formal sessions has just become unrealistic for me, but it seems that the social side of Crafty Business thrived in 2010, so let's keep it up in 2011!

So here's the plan: we'll stick to 7.30pm on the first Monday of every month but we'll keep it casual – think good conversation, quality time with like-minded people, a drink or two and maybe some home baking (if everyone takes a turn we'll be sorted for the year!). What do you reckon?

And if you've got a crafty business problem to solve, why not put it to the Crafty Business hive mind? You never know what ideas might spring forth...

Sound like fun? Bring along a project and some pocket money for a glass of wine and settle in for an evening of fabulous company and crafty inspiration at Board of Design, 16 Bedford Row, 7.30 till 10pm on Monday 7 February.
