Just what I've been looking for!

Hello everyone in the Craft Forum!

I've just joined and I thought I ought to introduce myself. My name is Steffie and I came across the Forum when searching for Craft Fairs near Cardiff (where I'm living at the moment). It seems to be a great way to get in touch with like-minded crafters!

I am working part time at the Wildlife Trusts Wales which I love, as I really want a career in conservation; but I also have a second job at Marks and Spencers which I don't love, beacuse working in large scale retail drives me quietly insane!!!

I have always been creative, and enjoy making jewellery, painting, and creating art from found seashore objects such as driftwood and shells. In the past I have done a few craft fairs, and made individual pieces for people, but I really want to scale up my craftiness so that hopefully this can become my second job.

If anybody has any advice or tips on what to do to make more of a business out of my hobby, or if they know of any craft fairs near Cardiff, I would greatly appreciate some input.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you fellow forum members!
