WGW April 2013

We're back from another awesome Whitby Goth Weekend, still tired and really happy with how the weekend went, despite some minor set-up issues! It was really good to meet new people and have return visits from people we met in November - dare I say it, we have regulars! Thank-you to everyone who visited us

We noticed that there has been a massive jump in the numbers of Steampunk stalls both in the Spa Pavillion and in the Leisure Centre. This may be due to there apparently not being a parallel event in the Rifle club organised by the Victorian Steampunk Society, but we have made the decision to take our Steampunk creations in a slightly different direction. We will still keep the backbone of our products, our goggles, masks and fascinator hats.

Keep your eye on our twitter feed for updates.

January Blues

Usually I don't bother
measuring...

January was a really poor month - that is unless you are about 12, then you probably though it was really good! It was basically too cold and snowy to do much of anything. At one point we were buried under about 4 inches of snow! Now, those of you further north/east of us will probably think that 4 inches isn't very much but it's not very often we get that much....

The Christmas orders took on a life of their own! It's amazing what happens when you start telling people you can make things. Thankfully not all of the things we were asked if we could do were for Christmas, but we are still doing some of them even now! We did a quick calculation of how many weeks are left until April's Whitby Goth Weekend. Let's just say we were a little shocked when it turned out there are just 12 weeks left.

With this in mind and a month where nothing really could be done, we made a few tweaks to our Etsy Emporium. We've renamed and re-jigged some of the sections to reflect some of the new ideas and products we hope to put on there over coming weeks and take to April's Whitby Goth Weekend.

If you haven't already had a look, we've created a page with a picture of  all (if we remember to take a picture of them before giving them to the recipient!) the things we have made.

Watch this space - we anticipate a large flurry of activity over the next 12 weeks....
