Yesterday was full of sunshine smiles and a rather enjoyable Craft Fair.
It was a quieter fair than normal, but I wasn’t too bothered as It’s just lovely being at Craft2.0
It also meant that i got to spend a bit more time hanging with friends i only see on fair days, and also i manged to find some time to take a few photos.
This photo is my one is my absolute favourite for the Day.
Words cannot describe how much my mum helps keep SuperVery ticking along. This is her, looking fantastic and doing what she always does, which is smile. I’m incredibly lucky to be doing what I love in life and to have mum there to help me out. She keeps an eye on my financials, is a sounding board for new designs and ideas, is the voice of reason when i feel overwhelmed and biggest of all, Mum punches out all the badges and magnets i keep designing.
I keep coming up with new ideas all the time, so trust me there is a lot of badge making happening at SuperVery HQ.
So this post goes out to all our fair and shop helpers, I’m reasonably sure I’m not the only person out there who has someone else they depend on to keep things going.

I’m busy making up chain, tweaking designs, going crazy with hot glue, punching out badges all for this weekend. Which is the very marvelous Craft2.0 at TheNewDowse
I created Craft2.0 and run the fair with help from Tash2.0, who happens to be launching her very own range of yarn at The fair under the name knitsch. Knitsch happens to be her not so secret anymore outdoor knitting name. So obviously I am extremely extremely biased when it comes to how wonderful an event Craft2.0 is.
But the magic of Craft2.0 is not in the things i do, which is organise the crap out of it, but in the lovely people who make things and sell them at the fair. Because trust me a craft fair is only as good as it’s crafters, yes i think we have the most beautiful venue in all of NZ for the fair, and the promo is quirky and fun, but without good craft, it would just be a shabby old market.
But equally what makes Craft2.0 work is all the lovely people who come along. For many it’s a bit of a trek out to TheNewDowse but nobody complains. I love that I get to meet my customers each fair, and nothing makes me smile more than seeing a former customer who brought a pendant from me at a previous fair.
anyway i need to drop back into making mode, i have some wonderful new alice in wonderland magnet sets and badges – based on the original Tenniel drawings. Plus some lovely new jewellery designs, but more on those on friday.
