    Hmmm, I haven't spotted them in my Asda, I hope they have still got them. They'll be fab. Thank you :D
    Well done on your sale.
    I have sold a 1 tier, a 3 tier and a daddy tool belt this week. The cakes were orders from the show I did and were delivered to the company, they have 1000's of employees, so I hope they displayed them well (til they went home)!!!

    I'm now beginning to like them a bit more, now that I have sussed out the printing ... lol.
    Thank god the bidding has now run out on ebay, as I don't have any more sewn up!!! I'll have to try and sew 1 each night (I doubt that will happen .....) should never of got a job, it's playing havoc with my housework and toolbelt making!!! Mind you I'd get more done if I didn't spend so much time on here !!!!!!!!!
    Did you sell much yesterday?
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    clarlou- your cakes are great, where did you get the "shinning star" from, i love it!

    How does everyone do the tool belts, do you follow a pattern, what material do you use and what do you include in them? Sorry for all the questions!

    I also read back my last post, I was really tired when I wrote it and when reading it back realised it made no sense what so ever!

    One last question, how much does everyones 3 tiers cost them to make?

    sorry I did have one more question, where does everyone get their smoothy cups from? I know baby smoothies are quite common but thought i might do a few and i had some ideas for other (non baby) things involving them. the cheepest i can find is £15 online for them and postage

    I dont know how much to charge for my cakes, does anyone have any advice please?

    my 3 tiers have blanket, outfit, muslin, hat, bear comforter, ribbon, then celo and pull bow
    my big tigger one has more in
    Ive done a one off basket which is the basket, 2 nappies, 1 bib, 1 bear comforter
    my 'budget cake' has 3 nappies and a bear comforter.

    I have no idea what prices to pitch them at? So far ive done them for just above cost price as i know the people ive sold to, but at this rate it will be a long time before i break even!

    Thanks for your kind comments.
    Candy - yes I did use photobucket but didn't tick a box underneath - if posting anymore I will do.
    Vikki_Louise - the 'shining star' hanging toy was from a local card shop, it's a 'russ' brand I think.
