Epping Forest

It's Monday which means the first Dear Friend workshop is only 2 days away! We are nearly fully booked but there is one space left, so if you want to come but haven't made a move yet, let me know :)

Over the past week I've been thinking about how to make the workshop space pretty, how to look professional and how to promote the etsy shop and blog. I got very carried away with this, thought about it loads and ultimately ended up feeling pretty frustrated and rubbish about the whole thing.

I think I ended up feeling like this because those things aren't what Dear Friend is about. They are all important things, and aspects I do enjoy, but the most important part of Dear Friend and the real heart behind it isn't selling loads, getting a million blog views or having a beautiful workshop space: it's the people. The beautiful people who decide to come along and spend the evening together, venturing into creativity and friendship. 

I can't wait to see some of you on Wednesday, and hopefully others of you at future workshops.

Matt and I went to Epping forest on Saturday, we got the tube to Loughton, bought a picnic from Sainsbury's and walked all day. It was gorgeous, and apart from food and train (under £10) it was a free day out. Im pretty sure this means I have completed my first of Octobers goals.

Have a great week,
