I think kids would love the bento box thing and, having seen Mai just heap in the food and never having seen the arty bento blogs, I don't think they would expect much artistically.

That's true, and maybe they could help - right, that's a great idea! Just need to think of some food that would look good now

Toots, thank you! That would be so great! I definitely want the Totoro one, and the others I'm not so sure about, they might have to wait for a little while as DS's presents are already bought for his birthday, so would have to get in ready for Christmas I think (he's seen the pics and loves them). You're so clever! Let me know about the Totoro (it's an animated film, all about two girls exploring countryside and having magical adventures, it's beautiful) and don't give me a discount, come on now, we're trying to make money here! -you could sell those type of crocheted characters like mad I reckon, did you see all the ones she makes, there's a seller on Folksy -

-she makes the sweetest little bears, there's great scope for imagination in the amirugumi thing isn't there!

Paula, that picture is brilliant!!! Wow the imagination of some people never fails to amaze me!

Amigurumi is brilliant, because you can often make it up as you go along, and it's very forgiving. When is DD's birthday?

If i wasn't stupidly busy I'd be having a go at it, but I'm already stuck on the jumper I started at Christmas! Her birthday is 22 April, so there's loads of time

Your blog is gorgeous, jo - is it OK if I share the fanpage link with my friends? Quite a few would like it I think

jo70mo

Thanks Paula, feel free to share. The more the merrier. Just need to make sure I keep adding to it now.

I came across this link for a bead sale at Beads Direct - don't buy beads myself any more so don't know if they are really bargains or not - but there sure is a massive amount of them!
May help some of the jewellery makers on here?

BYW - I've still not heard from Ebay about my submission to be "exempted from being a business seller" - got a bad feeling about this- and even worse, someone on the Ebay thread on here has warned me that if Ebay think I'm a business then the taxman may also be thinking the same:eek: and she advised that I should make sure I can prove all the items I sold were mine - can you imagine that? Some items are so old I don't have receipts - other items were gifts I didn't want, plus some huge amounts of things were just offloaded on me years ago from friends/relatives that I no longer have contact with when they moved/died! There's no way I can prove they were mine.
Scary!

Hi all,
Morning hugs to all of ya and happy freedom day aka Friday. I keep missing the evening dribble as to be honest everytime I get home something seems to happen. I spent about one and a half hours trying to get blooming norton of my pc so I could install Kaspersky.

Nixi – morning, I forgot to say morning to you yesterday x

MoneyM– new pendant = lovely and yes I will finally get to finish the SEO tonight. I have been waiting of a free moment all week long.

Munchki – massive hugs x

Mambury – site is looking really the only advice I have is to make the tag line smaller. I think it is a wee bit big at the moment. (I hope that doesn’t sound like me being nitpicking and harsh x)

[FONT=&quot]Victoria[/FONT][FONT=&quot] – hugs, I don’t know how much it will help but I know on the up the income board there are some jobs that you can do from home like customer service as long as you have net access. Arise UK springs to mind and there is a thread about them in the forum.

Other than that it is my mummy's b'day left her a card and present before I went to work, I feel really sleepy today my energy is flagging and I can't wait for tonight so that I can collapse into a nice hot bath, surround myself with chocolate, and then get some more work done.
And, trying to sort out my analytics there is a discrepancy between google analytics and the online analytics...hmmm ***[/FONT][FONT=&quot]scratches h[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ead*** need to sort it soon as I am highly confused.

If I have missed anyone I do apologise, but have good day people:)
