I think I got stuck in a bit of a rut making lots of random things. So I decided to reassess what has sold best at the shop and had a think about how I could reinvent my best sellers. </div><div><br></div><div>The phone covers tended to be the most frequently sold items at The Moon on a Stick so I decided to focus on making more of those. I also realised that colour plays a big part in catching the eyes of potential customers and decided to create a 'collection' of items which would match in colour. I've made grey my constant theme throughout and have matched it with quite vintage colours; mustard, teal and prawn pink. </div><div><br></div><div>I love the results of these phone cases and have tried out larger scale items like iPad covers. I can't wait to get these in the shop and see what feedback I get.

Unfortunately in the end we decided this wasn't for us right now but we decided to continue with the idea of creating a collection of home and textile items which fit in with a specific colour scheme. I created a couple of mood boards which I absolutely loved doing and then the group decided to go for the 'spring' colours. We are now each coming up with different ideas to get the collection together. Here's what I've been doing... <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNdk2VpyPOkljY4JukRc1bNnWsB8UZIV00ks_EWAGiMn26Gqo6qr7o_qBJRmsHUtjF738vf5yIEW6Pj5cW94iLNuSYfJtDG8Ztm0V4MWwDS2jd5OXKamjtXXW9V7VmbAdDpcehIHurRlz6/s640/blogger-image--1402306105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNdk2VpyPOkljY4JukRc1bNnWsB8UZIV00ks_EWAGiMn26Gqo6qr7o_qBJRmsHUtjF738vf5yIEW6Pj5cW94iLNuSYfJtDG8Ztm0V4MWwDS2jd5OXKamjtXXW9V7VmbAdDpcehIHurRlz6/s640/blogger-image--1402306105.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVxlbxLV0swbfN452Dds4743ryvT2Um_NrTickrJpuw4aEjrlH-DHRpaDFIk9Aplm0OF9kiKL1XOpCAo6M1d-40YPvfY0r-PHD5kVpIcjnqQTctepVEjN3wqYgi3B56CPMqXRuMm_1MiZ/s640/blogger-image--681614580.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVxlbxLV0swbfN452Dds4743ryvT2Um_NrTickrJpuw4aEjrlH-DHRpaDFIk9Aplm0OF9kiKL1XOpCAo6M1d-40YPvfY0r-PHD5kVpIcjnqQTctepVEjN3wqYgi3B56CPMqXRuMm_1MiZ/s640/blogger-image--681614580.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYXJNGBjT0Cw92IjWPVc05GEFwYTWe1Jex__pyN8gSyRgbeL0BMZY0O-FaAOrIc04K5fRHcYgPkxVP3tb6Dy5XHRJVXGW6T_VsyfBQO8cj7rEEtoAz4bGlDKpF7wuZl4fHXjycxukIb1F/s640/blogger-image--648598246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYXJNGBjT0Cw92IjWPVc05GEFwYTWe1Jex__pyN8gSyRgbeL0BMZY0O-FaAOrIc04K5fRHcYgPkxVP3tb6Dy5XHRJVXGW6T_VsyfBQO8cj7rEEtoAz4bGlDKpF7wuZl4fHXjycxukIb1F/s640/blogger-image--648598246.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgkKJVSk3nYeckZdpMqhM03TNfoYLtthzwJt6Eb5vWbOB9OfcuIZXmNnvFvNT25-ZSC8L_eK37AnpL4vgAE4z8uUWYtaWek8Db-nCQhbmx_TUG7RaWRSQS63RZumGnSYWSaFMaYPYGBHR/s640/blogger-image-306628536.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgkKJVSk3nYeckZdpMqhM03TNfoYLtthzwJt6Eb5vWbOB9OfcuIZXmNnvFvNT25-ZSC8L_eK37AnpL4vgAE4z8uUWYtaWek8Db-nCQhbmx_TUG7RaWRSQS63RZumGnSYWSaFMaYPYGBHR/s640/blogger-image-306628536.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRckdHqrms5WQoVDx9zZYWYC70r4crdBwBH4kGm6vh-4Q_knMmhkesTNHTA6P0gL_tL3kT1C02KT9ESN02silOvt-5_PVR9fD_qhJ4otSF8Sr65j8y7SJK3rOVflDDQN69qeCSmxI9NuPt/s640/blogger-image-1472983380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRckdHqrms5WQoVDx9zZYWYC70r4crdBwBH4kGm6vh-4Q_knMmhkesTNHTA6P0gL_tL3kT1C02KT9ESN02silOvt-5_PVR9fD_qhJ4otSF8Sr65j8y7SJK3rOVflDDQN69qeCSmxI9NuPt/s640/blogger-image-1472983380.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCUqy8cYUpGhsK-yKFuA18HAw-qQfmCdOYFQSWwm3QpsjPyBWpnzIS6mWUDwMErkWfkdMwjwq2MzBjpZcuEu9bPhUSsKhQQE2IwlgNhCoLZFn85fBgRDhSBJNbBpmSfX9AX2HTURQ_7H8/s640/blogger-image--1082476532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCUqy8cYUpGhsK-yKFuA18HAw-qQfmCdOYFQSWwm3QpsjPyBWpnzIS6mWUDwMErkWfkdMwjwq2MzBjpZcuEu9bPhUSsKhQQE2IwlgNhCoLZFn85fBgRDhSBJNbBpmSfX9AX2HTURQ_7H8/s640/blogger-image--1082476532.jpg" /></a></div>Sam Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17495030482053011941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841947712771991640.post-1818238533880843032013-03-22T11:06:00.001-07:002013-03-22T11:06:41.692-07:00Packaging!I've been meaning to look into making my packaging a bit more professional recently as that's one of the main things which catch a passer by's eye and after talking to Sonya at The Moon on a Stick I realised that packaging sells! So I needed to get rid of the hand written bought in tags and get making my own!<br />

I decided to use my business cards as a background and stuck a description on top. I love the stamps but they're so time consuming to use. I think it looks really effective though especially with the bird stamp. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpICCgTC89VxfEYEpLFrItzLvi1mwAFnuXTlgyLAVcRCntxwge5rI-knq4BmsYnDB5fltlqQFvdmKmyS_EULl5PrAU5btUnE6HwIyaYthDbEpvAy652ZtaG3pFEUyUKBkwGLaJ5_ei8e8R/s640/blogger-image--86877540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpICCgTC89VxfEYEpLFrItzLvi1mwAFnuXTlgyLAVcRCntxwge5rI-knq4BmsYnDB5fltlqQFvdmKmyS_EULl5PrAU5btUnE6HwIyaYthDbEpvAy652ZtaG3pFEUyUKBkwGLaJ5_ei8e8R/s640/blogger-image--86877540.jpg" /></a></div>Sam Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17495030482053011941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841947712771991640.post-73983228036060004692013-02-28T15:08:00.001-08:002013-02-28T15:08:31.268-08:00The Bradford Textile SocietyThat's right, it's that time again; the annual Bradford Textile Society Competition and I can't believe it's been a whole year since I last entered... And a whole two years since I was commended. Time certainly does fly. <br />
<br />
If you're not sure what on earth I'm talking about; the annual Bradford textile society competition is open to all forms of textiles, <br />
Print, mixed media, knit and weave. The competition has certain categories you can enter into and you have to design a product which matches the category description you wish to enter. <br />
<br />
I've decided to enter my footstools this year as last year the project hadn't evolved enough and was completely different to my final outcome! So I don't think last years entry was very strong. I'm currently working on getting my mood boards together and finished - hopefully before the week is out - so that I can get them posted next week. <br />
<br />
Here's a link to their website if you're after more info, closing date is the 15th though so get making :) the luxury is with this all you need is samples you don't need a final product - so less pressure :)<br />

At the weekend I had a big bracelet making session and had the great idea of photographing each one and uploading them onto my shop. I underestimated the time this would take and ended up spending a whole night sat at my laptop uploading photos, it was definitely worth it though, have a look through all the different styles I've come up with here :)<br />

It's amazing what hidden treasures you can find when you look a bit further a field. The shop supplies mainly yarn and has a wide variety, I love the chunky acrylics and the Debbie bliss wool but it was some lovely coloured DK cotton which caught my eye. At £2.49 a ball I couldn't resist and bought a fair few... It took me a while to figure out what I could do with it but finally decided to experiment with jewellery making. At the minute I've been playing about with crochet bracelets. Let me know what you think :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been pretty rubbish at keeping this up to date recently, it's been crazy busy with Christmas and new year! I'm taking a few minutes out to reflect on the last few weeks and what I've been up to...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Just after my last post I was lucky enough to have my pattern featured in a special craft section in my local paper. I had a few weeks to come up with a pattern for a Christmassy item and decided on a crocheted christmas tree table decoration. It was perfect for me as it was reusing skills that I have been perfecting when creating my footstools.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ended up layering crocheted circles with loops around the edge on top of each other to create this pyramid effect and then decorated it with buttons and beads. I went on to sell this one.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As well as this I've been working on another footstool to enter into the One Year On competition at New Designers next year. The closing date is coming around really quickly so I've been spending most of my time working on it. I just hope it's enough, I'm worried that they'll see that I've only done one more thing since I left university and mark me down for it, little do they know how busy I've been!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Over the christmas holidays I took some time out to make something fun for me as I never get a chance to do this anymore! I'd bought myself a Cath Kidston crochet set months ago to teach myself how to make 'granny squares' as beleive it or not I'd never done this before and couldn't get my head around how to do it! So I spent christmas day watching films, eating lots of lovely food and making this cushion cover, I love it!</span></div>

I've absolutely loved every minute of it so far and tonight we got the finishing touches done and got the shop up and ready. <br />
<br />
It's in Zoo cafe down Newland Ave in Hull so if you're in the area anytime soon pop in and have a look there's some lovely work.<br />
<br />

I can't wait to get there and get set up and I'm looking forward to knowing my bearings a bit more seeing as I visit most years! I'm all ready with extra business cards this time!<br />
