Getting crafty!

Big news: I have my first ever stall at Brixton Village, this Saturday, 23 January 2010. I'll be selling bead jewellery I've enthusiastically crafted by hand.. It's very exciting! Come and support me because I'm terrified. :) There might even be vegan cookies…

In June 2009, I declared that I'd be back shortly with regular updates… Um, sorry. It's been a whirlwind, here's a quick summary:

Wanted more creativity, flexibility and yayness
Jun 2009: Left web producer / developer role at online designer fashion company
Looked for work
One week later…: New job! Started web designer / developer six month contract at high street retailer
Worked *far* more than was healthy, had no life, started to get miserable. Wanted life.
Nov 2009: Finished contract and decided to have a break
Dec 2009: Holiday! Met up with friends a lot, caught up on lots of sleep, volunteered, wanted to do more but felt too tired. Bah!
Jan 2010: Sabbatical: I'd been thinking that I wanted part-time, short-term contracts only anyway. Decided to look for flexible bits and pieces both inside and outside of the web world
Here we are! Last minute I was offered a stall at the craft fair, so I leapt at the opportunity – cue an immense flurry of activity! :)

I've been updating Kathleen Bright (dotcom) ad hoc; it's still the best place to keep up with what I'm up to. (Plus, I tweet and facebook quite a bit).

Given my history, I won't say I'll be back soon… just that I hope so.

See you Saturday!
