A few years ago I redesigned our kitchen. It was so much fun working with the small space that we have, and fitting everything in, and making it work well. And it does work well &#8211; we can attest to that, having used our lovely new kitchen for several years now!<\/p>\n<p>On Monday I spent the day designing my stand for the craft and quilt show that I will be exhibiting at in June. It is a small space. I&#8217;m sharing a stand with two friends. It means we can cut costs and afford to be there, but it does mean we get a small space to work with. Of course, that just means that we have to be clever!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve come up with a provisional design, but given how many revisions the space went through the other day, it will probably look completely different by the time we see it in real life!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re planning to have a demonstration space as part of our stand, and have the three of us demonstrating our wares in rotation around the clock (during the exhibition hours, anyway!). If you&#8217;re interested in seeing me demonstrate any particular technique, please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was at uni I studied graphic design.
