blinking computers!

So (get ready for a long post!) this morning I made a present for my friend, then set up my table to start taking photos of all the new things I had made.

I received an email from a customer via Etsy who couldn't purchase from my website because MrSite are having *troubles*

The troubles involve the words Trojans and Disappearing Websites!

SOOOOoooooo

BIG re-think. No big website update for me today!

All SALE items are now on Ebay

and some new goodies are on Etsy

One day soon-ish everything will be in one place ... just not today!

Now I don't know about all you other crafty peeps but I find this time of year quite quiet shopwise. It happened last year and I filled the time with all the normal things...bbq's, friends, etcetc but come September I was kicking myself for not using the time wisely.

So this year I intend to do just that and have started to get ready for CHRISTMAS!!!

I KNOW!!!

I couldn't quite bring myself to start making reindeers and snowmen BUT I could start sketching new ideas ::

the left sketch turned into Santa::

and the right hand sketch kinda evolved at the cutting out stage and ended up as a fir tree (of the happy variety, obviously!)

They take a while to make because of all the layers

but as of now they are my new favourite thing I've made :-)
