the red room

My foray into the craft world is going well after only a week of my live and kicking Felt shop, RobotLove. As well as purchases I have had a few enquiries about what other designs I am going to make. Tonight my partner suggested a cartoon bomb (he also suggested he might become a craft widower!) and I like the idea of a conceptually ticking cushion. I’m also keen to try and make a diamond with different coloured felt for the facets: geometric but playful. The new gift gathering website Wrapped featured my cushions in one of their recent posts, thanks guys. The blog ‘curates’ gifts available online and seems to be aimed at shoppers who live outside of the main New Zealand cities where there are less shopping options. I have also found that it is also a lot more expensive to post to smaller towns and rural locations which I didn’t realise before having to post my wares. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of my craft-selling learning curve. Anyway, any advice on how to minimise postage (both for myself and my customers) would be welcomed. Any stellar and modern ideas for designs are welcomed as well.
