    Thankyou ever so much!
    It's not actually edited, and I stutter a bit, but I didn't have a script and never videoed before. I thought it might help people to see what Mooloo is all about.
    I've a lot to learn to improve the website!
    I'll get there one of these days!
    Trying to do it myself can be quite daunting.
    But if I can move forward it would be good to have demonstrations and tips etc on the website.
    But the sewing work must come first!

  • Hi Mooloo, I always read your posts and love catching up on your life but have never commented before. I have just watched your video and your shop is like an Aladdin's cave - I love it . I turned my small bedroom into a sewing room and no matter how much I tidy it's always a mess. I think it's because I get so engrossed when I'm sewing and things just get chucked everywhere.

    Your video is brilliant and your shop is like the Tardis xx
    Debt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order :) )
  • I too follow your posts with great interest,
    de- lurking to tell you I went on facebook and watched your video,
    it is great,
    the shop looks really welcoming and I wish I lived nearer.
    Charlie.

    I saw the video in my feed this morning. It was nice to see it all since I live a very long way from you. Well done :)

    Thankyou people!
    I thought it would help show you where I work, and what I have achieved.
    Really appreciate the delurking to let me know.
    I love coming to work each day and I always feel so proud of my little shop. Some people say it's like stepping back in time as you can buy one button if you want, or have a whole house soft furnishings made!
    Adaptable I am. (Well mostly!)
    Right socialising over, I've work to do.

    I an probably 20minutes from finishing the blind. It took a long time to do for the shop was fairly busy. The first two hours I hardly managed to sew much at all. Today people finally came to collect things and pay, and several new jobs also came in.
    The bank balance will be relieved!
    We have the little girl from a few doors down here for a sleep over.
    They are fast asleep in the spare room.
    I wasted my evening doing a collage of pictures of my eldest daughter for her birthday tomorrow.
    And watched tv!
    I was supposed to be doing the shop accounts!
    Oh well!
    Sunday night instead then.
    I am getting up early tomorrow as I have a skirt I have to redo as I wasn't happy with the zip I put in, and so recklessly I had staff unpick it just before we came home and I ran out of time to go and get DGD, so it still needs finishing but the lady is coming to Collect it at 9.30 when I open.
    So I need to get it done before then.
    Eeeeek
    I have had 90 people view the video of my little shop. Amazing!
    I definitely do need to learn how to use social media properly!
    All I need to do is to be able to sell things on line, to boost the shops funds!
    Sounds simple ......

    Everyone is awake. I can hear the girls chattering etc.
    I'm having my first cup of tea in bed before I make a move. Bank balances checked, email read, Facebook notifications done, so I'm just about ready for the day.
    It's the skirt to do, the blind to finish, an urgent jacket repair, two zips to replace in jeans and a jacket sleeves to shorten. The rest will probably have to wait until Monday.
    I also need to order roller blind kits.
    After work it's a dash to Towcester to drop off the collage at the venue for DD and back home to try and achieve something on the domestic front before we collect DS and his partner at 6.30
    Going to be a busy day.

    Erm! Should have been up when I heard the girls. Just spent my last hour reclaiming my kitchen from flour and blue food colouring!
    The girls are now round the Mum's both blue from elbow to thumb!
    When the bath bomb kit ran out they decided experiments were fun and started on the kitchen contents.
    I've done what I can, and just managed my shower etc. So I will not be at work any earlier then normal after all.
    I hope my lady due at 9.30 is running late!
