COVER
his editor's letter is a special one. It is my last,
in fact – because sadly, this is our final edition
of
Craftseller.
Before I relay the gorgeous
goodies packed inside your Christmas issue, I want to
say a massive thank-you to all our lovely readers who
have helped make this magazine an absolute joy to
edit. Your talent and creativity has fuelled
Craftseller
and inspired so many of the imaginative makes we've
featured throughout – we will miss you terribly!
So, *dabs eyes*, your final
Craftseller
has festivity twinkling on every
page including mini candle centrepieces (p.78); a sweet knitted snowman
doorstop (p.36); and over on page 82, a festive family of needle-felted
penguins. And of course, we have our very cute cover stars on page 16 –
the carol-singing, crochet mice!
This
adorable lot are also tree decorations,
so are fab keepsakes for shoppers looking for something extra special…
Elsewhere, we help you stand out from the Christmas crowd with
memorable makes (p.41), and over on page 80, we have ten quick gift ideas
to make and sell in time for the inevitable last-minute shopping rush.
All that's left is to wish you a very merry Christmas, and happy 2016 craft-
selling!
Thank
you for the support – keep crafting!
