I'm back and I've got loads of news!

Hi everyone,
well, I know I have had a long absence from my blog, but I have been very busy setting up my workshop and trying to make it work. I have given it lots of thought, and although I have been very happy renting the workshop space since April 1st, I have not yet made enough sales to cover the continuous rental costs. I have decided to hand in my notice and bring my business back home to the spare room. I'm not ceasing Romana-Dawn Creations, just relocating it!Meanwhile you can still find me on facebook and at romana-dawn creations.co.uk.
More tomorrow,
Blessings,
Rae

My dream is becoming a reality!

Hi friends,
Well, I have been really busy over the past few months planning for my latest venture, my leap into the unknown, my long term dream.... I have taken the plunge and set up a little shop called Romana-Dawn Creations! I have rented a small business workshop unit in my local area and am currently busy getting the many metres of fabrics and equipment that I have had in my house 'just in case', for many years, transferred to it.
Well, finally the time has come to put all this stuff to good use, and try to make an income out of my sewing and knitting experience of many years. I have set up a facebook page, and so far this has had a good response. I will be making household textiles, bags, bears, babywear and clothing for little un's upto age 10. I aim to use preloved fabrics and turn them into useful items once again. I am very into the green, simple living way of life, and this will fit me down to the ground. Saving the planet piece by piece, making patchwork, quilted, sewn and  knitted goods (think Cath Kitston type stuff, but without the high price tag, and greener!)
more tomorrow, until then

Please excuse me whilst I regenerate!!!

Ok, so where have I been? It's a very long story, so I won't bore you with the finer details. I will just do a quick update today to say that everything has changed here, and for the better!
I have made a life changing decision to start something that has been on the back boiler for at least 12 years now, and it is all coming together like a dream.....
Please come back and see me tomorrow for more.....
Until then, take care, and thanks for your patience.
Blessings,
Rae
