Sorry not been about. Too much going on in real life. Have been checking in on the thread every couple of days but don't think I will be able to post much as a bit overwhelmed right now.

Sorry to hear about your cat Mike. What a difficult decision. Sending hugs

A good money making day, but difficult other than that... generally running around trying to pack 3 days of stuff to do into 1... now cuddling a fidgety baby suffering with his teeth again. Cuddling his mummy seems to help, which probably means I'll have my own personal baby hot water bottle all night again!

Caught up on a bit of work, but now behind on chores. My life feels a bit like one of those whack a mole games; as soon as I start to make progress somewhere it falls apart somewhere else. :rotfl:

Citizenme £0.5

Well a friend gave me £10 today so I am counting that towards my total.

50p from CitizenMe and £1.40 for 100% cashback on Laughing Cow cheese (from a offer on their website), so my total is now £14.94.

I also sold my first item on ebay (it was a book as well, which I had been told were difficult to sell on there) - though my profit is tiny. I've bought some packaging materials (which i actually haven't used for this item as a perfect box came through the post with a purchase in) so I'm not counting any ebay profits until I've covered those.

I'd better get earning because my redundancy was confirmed today - I finish work just before the Easter weekend.

Sorry to hear the redundancy is definite:(. I hope something else turns up soon if you are hoping for another job:beer:

Hi Lemon Verbena - hope you manage to get another job / income source quickly

Well a friend has just confirmed he wants to buy a decoupaged jar off me for £8. He's going to pick it up later. Second craft item sold. Excited.

Well done on the sale:T. It sounds like a nice craft to be involved in:j.


I used to do decoupage a few years ago but largely concentrated on small furniture items or wooden household accessories, boxes and so on. It was so time-consuming and although I really enjoyed doing it and found it very therapeutic I didn't make anything like the amount of money I should have when I consider all the hours they took to make:(. . I tended to look on it more like a hobby that I made a bit of money back on rather than a profit-making enterprise.


My biggest project was an ornate massive double bed head and foot, almost totally covered in rose motifs on each side. I was dubious whether I should take on such a big job but the person who wanted it was very persuasive and I do like a challenge anyway. Looked beautiful when finished and the buyer who commissioned it was absolutely delighted with it but making it seemed to take over my whole life:eek:. I was also working in a stressful job at that time with a very long commute every day so I was really glad when I'd got these items finished and paid for. My fingers were numb for ages afterwards with all the fiddly cutting out of motifs. There must have been thousands of motifs:eek:. I wish now I'd counted them:o.. Then there were the layers of varnish and sanding. The person who bought it contacted me about a year later saying she'd like to have something similar for her mother and was I interested. Needless to say I turned down the job:o


I also loved trawling through junk shops and car boot sales to find suitable pieces to do decoupage on. Now I have time to do it (retired:j) I keep thinking I'll start doing it again in a small way but I have some arthritis in my hands these days and would find the cutting out very difficult:(
