Was up early - 5:30am - to walk the dogs and take my sister to the station for work. Then started some work for the felting course I signed up to a while ago but had put on hold. My felting counter is now installed (a few bits of tidying to do still) so I have no excuses now!
My new lighting for my photos also arrived today so will have to have a play around taking some new photos but first try was a vast improvement on before. The lights are quite big when they are set up so I think I will have to have dedicated photography sessions and do lots in one go.
Roz @OrchardFelts I managed to acquire 2 Twitter accounts in one day - one for a photography lens website I run (that’s part of the photography business) and 1 for me. Like you I’m more of a re-Tweeter at the moment although I’ve tweeted a couple of items from this forum with, what I thought at least, was a witty strap line in the hope they’d get some notice.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment - I have both accounts open on my desktop and I can’t seem to keep up with the flood of Tweets, plus the forum here, and 3 Google+ accounts, all the new photography I need to do, the end of year accounts for the photography business and listing new items. Friends think I have it easy because I work from home - I beg to differ

Struggling with mojo at the moment, got no enthusiasm about anything
Hope you’re all ok and I’ll carry on pinning today’s and read news, Steph x
You might not think you’re very good at promoting yourself Jacqueline @JAustenJewelleryDesign but you are really good at supporting the rest of us
Welcome to the thread Sharon @TreetopArt - your work is lovely and I’ve loved/pinned/tweeted today’s listing, hopefully it will help.
I was a newbie not so long ago and this particular thread has been really helpful and supportive - thanks all - and gave me the confidence to join in with more threads and join Twitter and Pinterest. All promotion of yourself helps and supporting others is always appreciated. Good luck with your Folksy experience
Already finding it really helpful and inspirational. Sometimes suffer from lack of confidence in my stuff and then loose the drive but this is really helping. Want to really make a go of it for the run up to Christmas (sorry for mentioning the C word lol)
Funny old day here today - damp/wet but really warm and humid. Guess this must be what the jungle is like
All loved/pinned/tweeted up to here.
Roz @OrchardFelts - the new desk is looking good, let us know if you have any trouble with your new lights - hope it helps.
Know how you feel Kim @KBCreations - my workshop/office is also at the top of a 3 storey terrace - I have velux windows each side of me, both open and no difference. I have loads of photos to take but can’t face the task in this heat.
Finally, I have caught up with loving and liking all the lovely goodies everyone has posted, let’s hope some have got onto the front page
Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery it finally occurred to me what a B & M shop was! There was me thinking all this time, there were shops everywhere selling crafts but not in my area! Duh…
I haven’t anything new to list today. I’ve been busy editing listings to create a new sale section in my shop. Trying to clear out some cards which have been lurking for far too long. If anyone wants to bag a bargain they are here: https://folksy.com/shops/FluffStuffCrafts/collections/258898
Another warm one here again today, even the rain hasn’t done much to cool it down!!
@plumporridge Thank you for your kind offer and great advice, I may just take you up on it sometime! x
Jacqueline @JacquelineOJewellery Doesn’t sound daft at all!! At least I now know what I’m dealing with so definitely halfway there! x
Lisa @sweetpyroangel Good advice, I try to remain positive although I do have a tendency to try too much too soon, guess I’ll just have to learn the balance!! x
All pinned now!
Work room looking good Roz @OrchardFelts
Welcome Sharon @TreetopArt such talent!
Well done Jacqueline @JAustenJewelleryDesign on your hard work to get so far in such a small amount of time! and also surviving the toy shop😝
Anita @beaniehats hope everything goes according to plan for you X @kennelcraft hope your hubby is ok X
