DAY 6 of My Crowdfunding Campaign


WOOHOO! I'm over half way (55% of my target) in my #crowdfunding campaign and there are 14 days left ... and only 18 days until I go to Armidale!!! Will you be able to come and visit me at my new tent? Oooh, I REALLY hope so! 


Tonight my 14 year old son gave me a quick lesson in iMovie so I've just launched "Take 2" of my video onto YouTube. I think it's better - I've added more photos and the last page is there!  The blurriness of the words on some of the pages .... didn't quite get there but I'm not going to do Take 3.  I'll just improve that part in my next video - maybe my thank you one, showing you my tent! 

Anyway, here's the new one! ...

Video Released on YouTube for Crowdfunding Campaign


Yesterday my day was taken up with doing something completely different - being a Movie Director! :)

I made a "video" and launched it onto YouTube last night.  I'd love you to take a look ...






This was the first time I'd ever done something like this so please accept my apology for the blurriness and the sudden stop of music at the end!  All I can say is that I'd much rather be doing leatherwork! :)

Anyway, I hope you still enjoy it! 

DAY 5 of My Crowdfunding Campaign


Ooh, I didn't give you an update yesterday. Sorry!

So ... DAY 5 of my #crowdfunding campaign:

I launched my "video" for my campaign onto YouTube. It was an all day mission and I'm not 100% happy with the end result but I gave it a go! All I can say is I'd much rather be doing leatherwork.

Again, I connected with some more beautiful people today - I'm loving the "social" side of this and looking forward to catching up with everyone in real life at future events. And the total reached $435 - that's 48% of my target.

Keeping up with the post of tents and inspiration for a great set up, I just came across this one. I love the design on the canvas. Isn't it spectacular?

Once again, I THANK YOU all for your support.

Day 4 of my Pozible Crowdfunding Campaign: "A Viking Saga - Shelter and Ship"






Today I'm feeling really grateful for the opportunity that this has opened up for me to get to know people better. I've had some great conversations, have been given some wonderful advice and have been encouraged to keep on following my dream.

THANK YOU! Today the pledged total got up to $400. That's 44% of my total goal.  FANTASTIC!

Day 3 of My Crowdfunding Campaign: "A Viking Saga - Shelter and Ship"




Thanks again to all who have made pledges and shared my campaign.

Today the total has reached $170.  :)

I found this great tent set up the other day and was reminded of it again today when a fellow Viking sent it to me.  How great does that look?  Much better than the one I posted yesterday I think.  I could fit quite a few people in there with me, sharing my leatherwork craft and talking about Vikings.

I've been thinking too, that I'd like to make up some kind of tribute; whether it be a piece of tooled leather or an embroidery to hang or whether it be burnt into the wooden poles - the names (in Runes) of all the people who have helped me raise the funds to purchase the tent.  I feel that it would be a great way to show my gratitude to those who have supported me.

17 days and $730 to go ... (check out the rewards post for your pledges if you haven't already seen them).
