So it seems I now only update once a month...that's bad :( My promise to put time aside each week never materialised!

Though I've been on three holidays so I'm going to use that as my excuse! My first was to Download festival, not really my thing but I got a free ticket and I just can't say no to free! Then I went to Rockabilly Rave which was amazing!! So much fun and I miss it :( Then I went to visit friends in Folkestone which was lovely. I also found house a few doors down from them that was a 1930's terraced house with original features including a roll top bath and fireplaces, for sale!! It was beautiful but unfortunately I don't have £129,950 and I highly doubt anyone would give me mortgage for that and even then I don't think I'd be able to afford it! One can dream :)

I have been working in-between too! Full time at the college and I've been on a Business Gateway Course to do my business plan. So now I can apply for start up grants and help :)

And the biggest most exciting thing is I have a stockist in Helensburgh :D They have taken all my random bits and bobs left over from my craft fairs and they've asked for a collection which will occupy the whole window!! So very exciting.

In other news I'm doing another craft fair on Saturday, Granny Would Be Proud in Hillhead Library Glasgow, pop along and say hi!

I'll do a little update with some photos soonish :)

Hello June

Hey folks :)

Yup I'm still rubbish at blogging...boo. However just wanted to swing by and tell you all the exciting news!

I've been to see Business Gateway and they're setting me up with grants etc and signed me up for various short courses that teach you all kinds of business things like bookkeeping and government things. I've also signed up to the PSYBT who provide business start up help to under 25s. Aaaaaand the other day I opened up a Business bank account :D

So even though I'm not busy creating (though I'm currently working on another toga!) wonderful garments, I'm still out buying fabrics and doing the boring but essential business things. Government and bank things are ever so scary but at the same time really exciting because it's those things that make Miss Lottie Lou a real life grown up business!

Well for the next few weeks I'll probably still be just lurking, popping up to make the occasional comment on your fabulous up to date blogs as this weekend I'm heading to Download Festival as my boyfriend's carer because of the broken ankle, and then I'm home for 2 days and I'm off again this time to the Rockabilly Rave!!! I know which one I'm more excited about! June is my split personality month :)

I'm applying for various stalls to keep me focused on Miss Lottie Lou though and I have a meeting with my first possible stockist tomorrow so fingers crossed :)

I'll keep you posted...eventually!
