Working hard



"Hei Pus", dusty pink pillow case with cat print.

I have a couple of days left of my holidays and I'm working hard with my business. I want as much as possible to be ready before the next couple of super-busy months at the start of the new school year.
Today I will be off to have some interior photos with my products taken. Then there will be preparations for Saturday.
Saturday will be a really exciting day. Epla is teaming up with IKEA and are having a mini-workshop day. I am asked to talk about my business and how I'm planning and working to make my business grow.
IKEA is arranging an event during two weeks to promote the launch of their new catalogue. They have opened a (work)shop called Tekstileriet in Oslo where you can drop by and get inspiration and advice regarding upcycling and redesigning your furniture.
A lot of workshops are held during this period, here's the schedule.
Epla's day will be Saturday August 11.
Program follows in Norwegian:

Program for dagen:
12.00: Dørene åpner!
13.00: Anita fra zndesign viser deg hvordan hun lager kule oppbevaringsposer med snøring.
15.00: Guro fra God som Grønn lager 'trengerikkeposer' - kule og praktiske bærenett for de miljøvennlige.

Er du heldig, kan det være plasser igjen på workshops, foredrag eller festlighetene etterpå. Gå inn på bloggen til Epla og meld deg på!

30 eplaere har vært bedt om å lage ting av IKEA-stoffer. Dette vil være utstilt i lokalene.
Stikk innom og ta en titt og en prat!
