Wow those cakes are amazing. I really want to make my little one's birthday cake but could see it being a disaster!

Mabel - I have lost direction to be honest. I crave to go contemporary but I can't leave tiaras etc, its where I started I also am not happy with photographs I take. Site is not breaking even but as a whole I am because of external sales. I like having a site though, domain name and email address boosts respectibility KWIM.

Lilac, could you offer an online discount to your external buyers to tempt them online?

I'm listening to Wherever you will go on repeat...I love that song I think its older then me though, lol. And Phil Collins!

Know what you mean about photos- I spent a fortune on a foldaway lightbox and lights and used my uncles really expensive slr camera for my first photos- wasn't happy with them at all! Got a better result with the photos I've just taken for the new collection just using my £60 digital camera and a bit of brightening up in Photoshop. It's those bloody Swarovski crystals that are a nightmare to photograph. Why not do what Ive done- stick to your tiaras etc but do a seperate collection on your site for the contemporary stuff?

Phil Collins = wee fat no talent drummer from genisis that cannae sing.

As you can guess I cannot stand him

SS great idea about the online discount but as I currently have no stock its a moot point. I need motivation. I can actually see my beads/wire/tools from here. Pure lazyness

Mable I have done. Can i name it here?? its called sweet and simple by nujoolz. Silly question, I have a .com web address mostly because .co.uk was reserved when i started site but now .co.uk is availible. Do you think i should reserve??

HopeAndDriftWood

I don't mind take a look at me now and you can't hurry love...I don't know what else he sings, lol. It's happy music, at least, or I might cry...

Is it just a lack of motivation or are you completely hating tiaras now?

I love 'Against all odds'
