We still haven't managed to get our non-facebook promoting underway, we've both been so busy as individuals that it's been tricky to either find the time or energy to get on with it. "as soon as i'm finished at the Rep I'll..." is a sentence I keep repeating at the moment. I hope I do manage to fulfill the plans we have in mind. Even once I finish it's still going to feel a bit stally though as we'll be stopped in our tracks by 6 weeks of summer holidays and childcare issues. Oh the life of being a business mum. We're just going to have to get used to it I suppose, there will always be school holidays to get in the way of your stride. But then that is why we're self employed, so we can work around these things. <div><br /></div><div>On a completely unrelated subject, how awkward is Made In Chelsea? The male/female chats are really stunted, no one seems very relaxed in each others company. Bizarre. I do love the dates they go on, so cringey.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway... We've got collaborative artwork in The Outbye Gallery, Ovenstone, by Pittenweem. Preview is Saturday from 2-5pm, on til the 23rd of July. We're also meeing with a lady from the St Andrews Family Support Project next week, really excited about that one, it's been something I've wanted to be involved with for a while. As myself I am collaborating with Alexandra Ross on a design project, meeting her this week to see the metal frame that's needing my fabric expertise. Cryptic? Yes I am. We're also off to a networking evening at The Rep next week and the Fleet Collective opening gig in a couple of weeks. Ooh and i'm getting my haircut. "About bloody time", screams my hair. Aren't we busy ladies?</div><div><br /></div><div>Before I go for the night I should also mention that we attended Crafting A Balance last week, hosted by Cultural Enterprise at the DCA. It was really intersting and was good to hear from people who were in a similar postition but further along the line. Thanks to Carrie from Made In The Shade, Lovely Pigeon and Bella and Bunty. </div><div><br /></div><div>Night night. </div>Two Dolls write...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07011581386613411914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261553132186351801.post-3255802749997607012011-05-08T09:52:00.000-07:002011-05-08T09:57:27.613-07:00we have a website so our blog is free for personal musings<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well, now we have a website we can start using the blog as it was intended, to talk about us and the process of setting up and running Two Dolls HQ. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We’ve been open for about 6 weeks now and things are going well. The Creative Writing short course has been doing well and our first Illustrate and Write was a great success despite the lack of illustrators in attendance. This was a shame as there was some really great writing happening and it would have been good for some visuals to go along with it.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The run up to the opening was full of wonder and trepidation. We were interviewed by Jennifer Cosgrove for The Courier, the article with photo appeared the day before we opened. Set up of the HQ was very hectic. I had finished at the Rep the week before so was in most days doing bits and pieces and taking delivery of work and donated furniture.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The opening itself was a surreal experience we were constantly busy right up until 5pm. Don’t think I have talked so much about myself ever and was relieved when it quietened down and I could shut my mouth for a bit and reflect on the day. Over the next few days I started to relax into my self-employed roll. I walked my daughter to school, which had not been an option while I was working; I met Zoe in the DCA for a lunchtime meeting; sauntered back to the car and relaxed til school pick up time. I am totally skint, we can’t do a lot of stuff or go anywhere but my day-to-day lifestyle at the moment is totally worth leaving regular pay for.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So six weeks on we are settled into our HQ; I am back at the Rep for a 6-week stint and we’re beginning to see what we have actually taken on. Next stage, some non-Facebook based advertising and marketing and trying to get the people we started this for to come through our door.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Creative people, we have set this business up for you so please come in and use it. We have comfy seating area with books and magazines to peruse; tea, coffee, biscuits and sometimes, homemade cake. We are here to support and encourage you in your creativity.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Two Dolls write...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07011581386613411914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261553132186351801.post-19111554182082443062011-04-24T11:00:00.000-07:002011-04-24T11:09:59.483-07:004 week Creative Writing block<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> We are running a 4 week Creative Writing block starting on Saturday the 30th of April, 10am - 12noon. £25 paid in advance to secure your spot.

We have been stupendously busy as individuals but things have settled down now and we managed a meeting this week. We'll be taking a second look at property on monday in the hope of finally setting up Dolly HQ for you all to hang out in. You can be reassured that we are still in action and have big plans for the future!

Anyway.... we have been reflecting on our experiences of the pop up stall at the Literary Dundee Festival and lessons certainly have been learnt. The main one being communication, making sure everyone involved has all the information they need, thus avoiding embarrassing conversations later. e.g how much commission will be taken. Next time we will be more prepared and have this all out there at the outset. On a personal level I found it to be a brilliant experience because I became the woman I always aspired to be and discovered it's ok to turn into a dictator for a bit, no one will stop being your friend because of it. The experience also cemented myself and Zoe's business relationship further, with each new experience we are finding that we work really well together and I definitely feel I have finally found my ideal work partner. All things business are going very well. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CCCCFF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CCCCFF;">Doll One is off for the summer, the school holidays are upon us and i have a small person to entertain, so there probably won't be much action in the world of blog but please remember to come back and check up on us. </span></div>Two Dolls write...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07011581386613411914noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261553132186351801.post-33469734976272221872010-06-25T14:17:00.000-07:002010-06-25T14:20:24.855-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrCeCRJGu2uONjFG_bnMQMW1GLV0c6D-Goc3Up78N6iK0dnTYY9Qd-3_v-7KBy-erDFMULXfWjwkFO-bdtc1GxEr6cHCeokDiWrWo3ocgPuznYagzqh1n-WV5y5wXCikddDvsYFi2rtE/s1600/IMGP1310.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrCeCRJGu2uONjFG_bnMQMW1GLV0c6D-Goc3Up78N6iK0dnTYY9Qd-3_v-7KBy-erDFMULXfWjwkFO-bdtc1GxEr6cHCeokDiWrWo3ocgPuznYagzqh1n-WV5y5wXCikddDvsYFi2rtE/s320/IMGP1310.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486824074596839554" /></a>Two Dolls write...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07011581386613411914noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261553132186351801.post-309714648646208352010-06-23T13:57:00.000-07:002010-06-23T14:09:58.560-07:00Debut night at Literary Dundee<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJ1zF-MsHrmOFciay1Q9vgS382ofJlwc45_gGaGf25uKAY_mCPJ4RUwzUrTS6RVjgqxVXZEmYfZPFnyMfuHYfWElHiadD4VlGMvhaxxgjVlahOSKiEwEc2nm025x3iIqgH7xezLlEdzs/s1600/IMGP1287.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJ1zF-MsHrmOFciay1Q9vgS382ofJlwc45_gGaGf25uKAY_mCPJ4RUwzUrTS6RVjgqxVXZEmYfZPFnyMfuHYfWElHiadD4VlGMvhaxxgjVlahOSKiEwEc2nm025x3iIqgH7xezLlEdzs/s320/IMGP1287.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486076581519600082" /></a>Good first night, a bit mental to start off with.

We chatted to people we already knew, handed out a few business cards, had a juice and went home to drink tea and chat around the kitchen table. As far as the Chick On Speed went we scarpered at the first sign of audience participation. We also had our meeting with Sandy Thomson at the Cultural Enterprise Office in Dundee. We received some very useful advice on creating a lasting partnership. Our key words are now conversation and deal breaker.</span>Two Dolls write...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07011581386613411914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261553132186351801.post-67304477596772009032010-06-02T10:42:00.000-07:002010-06-02T11:02:23.668-07:00world domination, when will it begin?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFCC;">Some blog this is, we're not even writing anything on it! Thought I'd better remedy this. Not actually got much to say on the setting up business front, as not much is happening. YET. Currently in limbo waiting to hear about the property we are hoping to occupy. Meeting with Sandy Thomson at the Cultural Enterprise Office tomorrow, so will have a better idea of what we need to do, as a partnership, to get this venture off the ground. We are determined and excited by the prospect of working with and bringing together, as many different creative types as we can. </span></span>Two Dolls write...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07011581386613411914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261553132186351801.post-10869760927712774702010-05-27T14:08:00.000-07:002010-05-27T14:19:01.594-07:00Who are we?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#99FF99;">Two dolls are Jill Skulina and Zoe Venditozzi, a visual artist and a writer who have come together to create a hub for cross-disciplinary networking and creative endeavours.
