From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread

Crafty_Toots

Good evening all!
I made a standing promise to myself that I can't post here till I've caught up with the dribbling, but I didn't realise it would take me till this time!!

Hales, did post yesterday but didn't highlight it - have listed a further 15 items on eBay, so total is now 27 from the 40 commitment if you could update me please x

I've realised that I've been spending far too much time between here and eBay and haven't made inroads to doing any crochet at all, so I have to get my finger (or rather the hook!) out this week and get some 'stock' ready for selling. I just took delivery of some rather delicious wool that I wanted for the blankets, so I have no excuse now for getting on with it. Of course, that was last weeks' commitment, which I've carried over..... someone give me a boot up the proverbial!

Lots of positive comments today, the ideas are certainly flowing in (as are the newbies, welcome all!).

For those of you feeling under the weather, I do hope you start tomorrow feeling a bit perkier and I'm sending hugs to all those in need.

Phew, was worried you may take it as if I was being mean!

If anyone munches a lot of fruit and/or veg then check out the thread on taste radar. They will reimburse up to £25 for reveiws on fruit & veg each month. Plus £2 to cover postage to the Netherland (receipts). Can be paid via bank account or paypal. The thread seems to suggest that its all legit.

Right, I've kind of cheated - I found this site www.invoice2go.com and made myself an invoice. The "kind of" is because I've done it for items I have actually bought at the price I bought them for, but created a new business name to charge myself. Hope that will do.

I feel a bit bad about it, but I am genuinely going to be a business, just need stock before I can do it

Has anyone seen Saucy's notebooks yet? I was looking forward to having a good nosey and finding next year's pressies

I have not seen her notebooks yet either. I suspect she is still not feeling very well. Really miss seeing her around!

I am a bit of notebook hound myself and cant wait to see them. I have admiration for someone who can create things the way I have seen some here. Really inspiring, and all I do is sew, errrr I will be again once I get the job sorted first!

Well that is me done for the day, just answered a few ebay questions and sold another basket for mothers day, I now have the headache from hell and heavy eyes. Catch you all again tomorrow xx

Cheers, i wonder though if the dark transfer paper is just for black, dark blue, dark purple?. I know it may seem an obvious answer but some dark colours have a light side, i.e light blue:beer:

I have used the light transfers for light coloured t-shirts (pale blue, khaki etc) but it largley depends on the design and the effect you want.

For example, if you want to print a logo and the logo has white in it, you would need to use the dark transfers. If you are printing dark text or a design where there is no white, and that the white bits on the image would be the colour of the t-shirt, you can use light transfers.

nah its cool. I am a young man who with 2 parents that both run retail shops has learned the lesson of constructive criticism. I'd rather someone flagged something up immeadiately then say nothing at all. if you dont mind in a few minutes can you have another glace as i think ive sorted it all out.

Wayne - I'd done an image to illustrate better how light and dark t-shirt transfers work. It shows what the same design would look like with each transfer, done on a medium coloured t-shirt. Hope it helps.
