And now for something a little different........

Greetings,

I hope this post finds you all well?

I have been doing something a little different this week - along with crocheting, crafting and planning of course.

After I spotted an idea online  I decided to have a go at making biodegradable seed pots using loo roll tubes and newspaper - you see my 'Barbara Good' aspirations never fully go away!

 They are now done and filled ready to sow some early peas - this makes me very happy!!

Another thing making me smile this week has been having some fresh Tulips in the hearth; I am easily pleased!
















HOWEVER..........the biggest news I have is that I have sold a handmade item and set up an online shop!!! I'm also working on another order and I am so glad I took the plunge (with a lot of encouragement from my nearest and dearest of course), it's exhilarating and nerve wracking and I do have realistic expectations but I've taken a leap and it feels good!!

The shop is at http://lolibellesboutique.weebly.com/ and has only three items listed at the moment but I am working on expanding this all of the time and thrashing out new ideas and I'm loving it!

In personal craft news I'm working on a crochet shawl and lining a beautiful pair of curtains I have been given - it never stops you see!!

Until nest time...

Big Love, Loli B xxx

Just checking in!

Greetings,

I just thought I'd stop by with a quick update as I've been a busy Belle indeed since my last post!

I've started work on a website to sell my handmade goods - and what a minefield that can be. There are so many things to consider, for example listing fees, website commission, all sorts! Anyway, I've taken a big leap and made a start and through word of mouth (and/or keyboard) I've had a couple of orders already which makes me so happy!

I'm also finishing up other projects which have been nagging at me and having a bit of a fibro battle but the Sun keeps trying to shine and the birds are singing so with that and my website stuff to think about this fibro business isn't getting me down at the moment. (Plus I've been able to get washing out on the line) Win!!!

No pics this time as I have to get back to my hooking but there will be plenty of pics in my next post.

Until next time.......

Big Love, Loli B xxx
