    Had a very busy day- finished and posted my article... made more samples...sold charity shop shoes brought for 5 for 12.50 after fees doubling my money, entered 28 comps and just got an enquiry to make a postbox... happy days... Also have come up with a few new ideas for articles... just need to find the time to have a play.

    have toyed with setting myself up a facebook page but whilst i get tons of compliments, past experience of online selling, and craft fairs is that people rarely want to pay for the time, skill and materials involved...

    Going to put some more listings on ebay once my princess settled. Max already sound asleep in his bed after a busy day in the garden.

  • Well done with the ebay listings, comps & articles Haybel, :beer:

    I need to get myself into gear with some, as soon as I've got the new bits I need for both camera's - I could start on the descriptions I suppose, but it seems a bit daft having to dig stuff out twice :o

    What articles are they ? Do you have a regular publication or site you submit to ? I'd love to do that type of writing alongside the business writing. As for the comps, where on earth do you find that many to enter ? :eek:

    Hope the Furball & Princess are both feeling better now and back up to their usual tricks and antics :D

    hello yummymummy missed you- where have you been? Ive kept all princess neutral stuff (sleepsuits and vests) but am selling all her girly stuff as she outgrows it, my logic being that she was a winter baby and even if i have another girl if blessed again then could be a summer baby and no good anyway... we have a small house so also limits how much I need to store, and the money is very handy now. Hope you feel better soon.
