Hi @folksycontent Camilla :grinning:

Please can ā€˜weavingā€™ be included again for April?

Iā€™d been looking forward to using that tag but the members that used it did not get the full benefit of it this month. There was a fault on the site that day and there was nothing showing for the Theme of the Day for hours! It wasnā€™t fixed til about one or two in the afternoon :cry:

Iā€™ve suggested this before, but thought Iā€™d have another try! Could we have a theme of the day that is related to regions or counties, so that it would give a mix of makers and items, but all makers would be from one area. eg Made in the Midlands, Creative Cornwall, West Country Wonders, Northern Know How, Bedfordshire Busy Bees, Especially Essex and so on. It would be very inclusive bit by bit!

Judy @JudyAdams ā€¦that sounds a great idea except that it would have to be a limited number of items or people in that particular area would tag their whole shop
I have over 400 items in my shopā€¦I could fill the theme of the day in oneā€¦lolā€¦

@teabreaks Yes it would have to be limited, like when we do ā€˜tag one thing only April 23ā€™!

A Super idea and it sounds like fun - itā€™s a great way to highlight crafts and makers that maybe donā€™t get much exposure because there craft is too niche.

Has anyone mentioned the Kingā€™s coronation? As it is early May, it would need to be featured in April.
