What is your name? By Pure Warrior Maiden
KABFA/KABFA Designs Is the name I chose when I was 14years old and took Design and Technology for my GCSE's I aim to do is to run a UK Business that prides it's self in trying to produce and manufacture products that are mainly Made in the UK. At the moment every thing that I post is NOT for profit and I am using to share information and to find out what people may be looking for. We will also be looking at selling "Bee Friendly" Products like home grown Native British Plants and Seeds.

With so many platforms on social media now it can be a really challange to sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Shoping on line or even running a bussiness is not like running a hight street shop.
Both have to deal with keeoing up with the local treads and having that unique selling point to get the attention of the customer to say.
Welcome.
Thank you from you shopping with me.
Thank you for using our services.
So with this in mind I have used a number of difftent online social media sights to see if they could work for me or anyone in the futre.
Unlike retail, that I have worked in the past, it is not about just changin the window and cleaning the shelves; or putting the sales items buy the till.
When trying to sell or promote yourself on line it is a diffrent ball game altogether.
With a picture still painint a 100 words.
It is also about knowing how to have good IT and English skills.
These are things that over time that can be learned or that you can pay some one to do for you.
But the time frame in order to get a sale is not just waiting around for pay day or hoping that people perorder or prebook.
It is about geting them to buy now!.
For years I hated to shop on line. I loved being able to go to town, shop and then go for something to eat and pay that I did not need to buy the next size up in the dress I just purchased.
But the pet hate of shopping is the ling lines at the till, not having anything in your size, the carryign of bags and car parking.
So being able to just shop on line and have it delivered just buy setting at home not matter what time of day is a plus.
So why do people still love to shop in person?
For me it is the opertunity to just get out of the house and see the really world espically have covid 19 when you did not have a choice but to stay in.
So one of the ways I promote myslef and keep my artwork up to date is by using MadeMe

So why not take a look and see if it is the right place for you to shop online to.

Please click on the image on my blaod and it will redirect you to my blog called "Pur Warrior Maiden." This covers more about my life when I use to model full full timefrom the age of 16-40.
Now that I am a full time mum, I work more behind the camera and would like to do more for this in the futre.
I am more than happy to model again for charity events, or to keep my online portfolio up to date and fresh.
The last shoot that I did was for myself and was in Decmber 2024.
I have not talked about this much yet, I am looking at doing so later in the year.
I have included the link below, that you may find usedful if you are struggleing with budgeting for 2025.
on this blog like all have my blogs have have tryed to include this support beacuse being able to budge is a life skill and one that everyone needa helps and struggles with from time to time.

With this happening all over the UK, how can any bussiness stop this for happening and to beable to have their cake and eat it?
This is a group that I set up on Facebook, to hel and to support Life Models and Artists in the Middlands wher I live and was born.
Due to living in the Middlands and in a small ex coal mining town, I have lived in the the Heart of England/ UK for almost 40 years of my life.
It is this part of the UK that is like the centre of a spiders web, yeat never always catches the fly.
The town where I live myslef Nuneaton sadly as had it heart riped out and so many people hve tryed to keep it on live surport and to put it back.
Nuneaton on Warwickshire, where I live is full if so much history and yet we do not use this no our advantange and us what we have before it is lost of ever.
One og the main things in Nuneaotn what we are famous for Is Mary Ann Eveans, George Eiliot who is famous author and grew up in Nuneaton.

Nuneaton is one of these places that is accessable via, public transport and by car. it is even only about 2 hours away from most majour cities, airports and about 4 hours away from the coast.

So to run an art group in Nuneaton, and to work with local artisits and artist regional, nationally and then worldwide is something that I would like myslef and futre artist in beable to have the opertunit to achive.

If you are unable to read the blog then please comment and I will see how it can be changed. Thnk you.
At this moment in time KABFA Designs is not a bussiness, I am hopefully looking at changing this in the futre.
Like most people I am now being transfered onto Univeral Credit and I am not 100% sure about how this work or would effect me, if I was to look again at salf employment.
Epically since i am a fulltime live in carea for my son and in rented accommodation that makes working from home very challenging.
So again this is something that I will be looking on to and trying to sort out during 2025 and 2026.
At the moment my main focuse as been dealing with a lot of peraon issues that again have got in the way for me setting up KABFA Designs.
So fingures crossed, that will change in the futre.
Universal Credit, these two word are the ones that I have been trying to avoid having to use on my life or even have to open the door to.
The thught of having to go any where near UC, was some thing that I never wanted to do; not even a brage pole. Which I use to have whan I lived a nomadic life style 8 years ago.
So now I have joined the que of many and have claimed UC, in order to keep a roof over my families head and food on the table.
But what will claiming UC offer my and my family in the future?
I guess only time will tell.
