    Managed to find your 1 bag, it looks amazing. I would certainly buy if they were in a darker colour if possible? I am sure you will have lots of luck with these, you deserve it.


    Thankyou. Yes only 1 bag left on now.
    Edit- I have uploaded 2 more bags now.
    I will be making in other colours etc depending on what I am finding in the remenents or within stocks I already have, or clothes I get in charity shops etc etc.
    You may like the bag that I made last week, as its dark blues/purple/paisley with outside pocket as well as the inside.!
    There are 4 of a variation in the making pipe line, 3 finished. Then I will see what fabrics take my fancy the next time.
    I will be trimming some towels this afternoon. Made some for Biggest of Mooloo' new baby, and like them. Molly thinks they may also sell. We will see.:D
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    mooloo you may get higher prices if you have your listings ending in the evenings, as more people are at home , they may not remember to leave bids, sunday evening is a good one

    Think the problem was that I am never about to put them on then! But no doubt I will learn how to get around that.
    Not very happy with the picture of the dark bag I put on., but its on there now. Oh well Never mind.
    Off to play around with my scraps etc and see what I fancy making this afternoon, while we wait for the health visitor.
    Thanks for all the advice. What would I do without my MSE friends.?

    you can change the picture if there are no bids, you can also withdraw the listing if you need to
  • Mooloo its a tiny charge (pennies) to choose what time you want your listings to start irrelevant of when you actually list the item IYSWIM.

    Alternatively you can download turbo lister but you would have to check the Ebay thread for details on that as I am not exactly sure how it works.

    i often have mine ready , i write out the words and upload the picture into a different file then it only takes a few minutes to do, having things end at night should make more money as maybe sunday evening people browse

    Thats lovely. I hope you get them then! If not I will have to make you something similar! Although Idont have the exact same fabric on one of them. Being as I use up remenants etc mostly.

    All 3 bags now have bids, so they are sold to someone!
    I have been making another bag, but stopped to go and have a bath because DS arrived for a short while, so I grabbed the chance while I could.

    He has gone now, so its DGD and myself once more.

    Twin2 hs been to see the doctors about her depression, and the like at last. Her BF took her, for me. Dispite he is leaving soon. Things have gone from bad to worse very fast there.
    The worry is suicidal thoughts have been brought up! I am worried now.
    Very worried.

    So sorry to hear about Twin2 Mooloo, she has such a lot to cope with just dealing with losing her boys and now the problems with her OH. Suicidal thoughts really are worrying and I don't know what to suggest other than trying to get her some form of counselling maybe? Didn't Gizmo say that she would be offered some?

    On a happier note, the bags are beautiful - just snuck on to eBay for a peak. I am looking for something similar for my sister as an Easter gift but she doesn't do flowery so I will keep an eye on your listings incase anything suitable appears :D I wonder if your bunting would sell on there too?

    You can save listings and set them to start at a specific time. A friend with lots of experience reckons that they should always finish 1 or 2am on a Saturday or Sunday morning so that people bid after a good night out and get carried away :D Not very MSE though to encourage them to spend money :rotfl:

    Great news that biggest will be settled in her new home before the baby arrives, I must have missed that news.

    If you can change the pictures around, one of the Paisley bag photos is in much better colours, if you made that the 'main' picture it would probably help.

    Also you can put your ebay id into your Profile - you can't then tell everyone it's there, but that's where I'd look for it if I knew someone on MSE was an ebay seller.
