June 30th was the start of the Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts show at the NEC and I had a stand there. It’s a three-day show and easy to do if you have help. Then, you can escape for necessary breaks and a bite to eat. Eating on the stand is an absolute ‘no’ because just as you shove a mouthful in, someone comes up. They usually apologise for interrupting your lunch and then ask a complicated question which cannot be answered by a simple nod of the head.
So you swallow hastily, cough, reply to the question, smile sweetly as you try not to choke! Such fun!! But to be honest, shows are a real pleasure as you get to meet so many delightful like-minded people. Crafters are the same the whole world over; really nice people who are keen to chat, share ideas, experiences and proffer advice and friendship.
