We had our crochet session which went well and which we will do again monday, however my other group member wasnt present again. when i tried to carry on crocheting flowers after this sessoin i struggled a lot. not sure how i could make enough of these on my own in the time we have... a change of plan again?

after no contact from our other group member yesterday and after looking at the time we have we decided to make a decision about what to make/sell without them.
Because mothers day is coming up and we are slowly heading into the spring we are going to crochet flowers to make into broaches/badges.

we will have a bit of a crochet session this coming monday to get started. although i think pastille colours are probabley the best way to go for the time of year I would like to do a few in brighter more bold colour flowers for anyone who like me isn't a pastille sort of person.

Need to look into colour trends?...

hmm... felt. soft, fun,durable,playful, chunky felt bracelets? broaches? badges?
discovered the other fonts! woop woop! Liking the mug warmer idea, quite a fun novelty item . mayb could be quilted or felted or something? think would take less time than knitting. is there a market for mug warmers amoungst students and staff at UCLAN?
Think the badges and wristbands might be a more sellable idea, could find out from s u what the up coming themes are for student nights could correspond with that.
badges are quite small fun accesories and think even if they were not aimed towards anything we could come up with some colourful cool designs.

our group has been quite sparse throughout this project me included. we havn't comunicated enough and put enough time aside to work on it,this has left us in a bit fo a pickle.
we need to make a plan to get back on track!
first thoughts for a product...
knitting at the moment in textiles and enjoying it so mayb could knit something? mug warmers, wristbands, hairbands? maybe badges wristbands aimed at an event aka promo... bright coloured and funny designs.. cheap to make and wouldnt need to sell for too much.
