It’s been a half week of Oh My Giddy Aunt – in 3D digital vision and surround sound. I’m in a spin. A lovely someone with a Seize the Day attitude made a suggestion at the close of business last week. A suggestion that seemed so utterly, intensely, intrinsically (bear with me, you’ll see what I mean), gob-smackingly ridiculous. It still is. My creative head space is a blithering mess.
No matter that I was living a blissfully un-craft-committed existence up until Friday afternoon. No fear I have not an Etsy or a MadeIt online shop set-up. Do we think my extensive market experience (a stint at the school fete) counts? Hmn. Yet there I am, signing up for the Incubator at next year’s Stitches & Craft Show.
Have I yet mentioned that I haven’t anything to sell?
Hence the conniption. Now that I’ve gone and connipted in public, there really is no backing out. Yes, I fully understand the likelihood of falling flat on my face (though not yet which bits will be those to trip me up) and no, I do not expect to cover my costs.
So here’s the why:
WHY NOT? Give it a hearty good shot, burn a few kazillion midnight hours between now and May, take any advice thrown my way. Above all, step outside a comfort zone and do something I just don’t yet know about. It could be one hell of an adventure. At the very least I get to look the eighty year old me in the eye and say ‘I gave it a whirl’.
I’m just waiting for my head to get to here:
So I can locate the creative head space and have a largish think.
Spin on over to Kirsty’s to check out more Creative Spacers...

Can you get arrested if you connipt in public? Of course, I may be thinking of something else.
You will be brilliant, fabulous, amazing and very possibly exhausted - but you'll have the devil in your eye when you catch up with your eighty-year-old self. Good for you.

Oh Tania, how exciting. And you'll do amazing, I am sure of that. With your creativity, how could you not be?
Love the photos by the way. They really portray a spinning head very well :-)
Oh Tania you're amazing. I don't know if the greeks or romans had a goddess of craft but if they did she is smiling on you. X
Go for it! I hope to do the same - we could giggle about it together!
Fantastic! I can't wait to come and visit your stall.
I love the word conniption.
I am really excited to see what you come up with! Best of luck! I'm sure you will be brilliant.
yay, yay, yay!!! into the world of the market makers you will go.
I know you have this feeling that market stall holders & the like have this secret world and you yearn to climb into it. fabulous :)
It's the obvious next step and you'll be brilliant at it ! Enjoy !!
Tania, That is exactly what I did last year - jumped in like a loony and it was fine fine fine !!! You will have so much fun (after the giant hard work bit of course).
