I Got Featured :))

A couple of days ago, I received a lovely mail from a feature writer at the Mint Lounge saying they'd love to do a write up on me..."Are you serious??" is what came to my mind. I'm this small little crafter, sitting in my guest-bedroom turned studio, quietly working away on projects on my sewing machine..who wants to know me? Well after a long chat over the phone and some pictures shared over email, this chirpy young writer turns out this beautifully written piece about me and my HaathmadeByRuna story. The Mister has been so excited for the last three days and when he heard about the interview, he insisted we start the online shop right away rather than next month. So I sat counting the little projects that were completed and the Mister sat like a robot on a machine and www.haathmadeByRuna.com was born premature :)) 
The store isn't all that stocked, as much as I would like it to be, but its a beginning and I have many more projects lined up for sale the coming week. I'm thinking iPad cases and lunch bags. What do you say? I've been flooded with custom orders, but the process was too tedious and time taking. I often spent too much time on a single project and felt I wasn't getting space to unleash my own creative ideas. Well now I will :) 
Do stop by at the shop  and tell me what you think. Will wait to hear from you. TIll then I must get back to the sewing table and get down to work. 
Here's a peek into how the shop looks for now



Keep the love coming
Happy Weekend

Runa

Surprise Surprise

Yipeee! Yes I'm finally open for business at my little store at www.haathmadebyruna.com
Come stop by and take some handmade love home :) I agree its small but don't you worry have lots lined up for the coming week. I shall tell you all the whole story in my next post. 
Back to reading your lovely messages byeeeeee

Some Good News

Hey, yes look what a bad blogger I am :( Well am not going to make any excuses this time and make sure I get to do some more writing here. I haven't been lazy at all though, have been working on various projects and have finally been able to say no to custom orders, yes I did!! I shall have some small news for you all in a day or two. There's alot of excitement, alot of tears, alot of sleepless nights but its all going to be totally worth it :))
Right now am tearing my hair apart with my camera...
There's so much to share and update you all with, which I shall slowly do over the next few days. The Mister has been very patient and is working round the clock to get my work done...heehee no I remember, its a secret, not telling you all right now. Wish me luck and girls please stay safe. Haven't been hearing too many positive things lately. My Sister too ran into a bit of a problem two days ago. Will tell you what happened once we have a clear picture about our plan of action.
See you all soon. 
Oh yes ...Happy Dahi Handi :))
