Morning all. It’s our eldest daughter’s birthday today and I can’t believe we’re old enough to have a 38 year old daughter! Perhaps we were just teenage parents? We’re taking her and her husband for lunch in a local Italian restaurant, as they’re not working today.
Holly @minimakes the Market of Kindness is a facebook based market, it’s held every couple of months and is in aid of the charity Kindness Community. It’s £7.50 to join the market for the month and all the money from the stalls goes to the charity. Here’s the link to their website https://kindness-community.com
I’ve looked back at my sales for November and of the 30 I had only one of those was a Christmas card so guess what I’ll be sharing for the next couple of weeks .
Hope Olivia is back to normal today Carol and that the results are good. @carolsmalleydesigns
Well it looks like the local men have realised Christmas is coming a bit earlier this year, 1 popped over yesterday for a ring and another is popping over this afternoon for a bangle. They normally leave it very last minute.
Good morning everyone, I did the Kindness Market I think I had 3 sales, thought I’d had better better as t’was lead up to Christmas, but I did collect a few more followers on FB which can’t be bad. I don’t think I will be doing the Feb one.
Anyhow here’s my offering for today, thank you. xx
Morning all, gloriously sunny and bright here this morning, hoping to get some photos done/redone.
The Kindness Market was ok-ish for me, I had some sales linked through it but not huge numbers (I had more through this group ). Personally I find social media difficult, and you need to work at it for FB markets. We all supported each other brilliantly - huge thanks to everyone who liked and commented on my posts - but again I didn’t get engagement from the wider community (poor reach or silent lurkers - I don’t know). Although I love supporting such a great charity, I don’t think I’ll do it again - Ill just make a donation or buy some of Laura’s merch.
Listing today is the last of the sewing/fashion themed zipped pouches - this one is my favourite, I think I’ll be making something for me with the fabric I have left - unfortunately not enough for a
Hi all. Was hoping to rejoin the thread this month but unfortunately my back pain has developed into sciatica and I have been in severe pain with very little sleep for a week, couldn’t sit or lie down and could only get a bit of relief by walking so have been pacing the house pretty much constantly. Managed to get some stronger pain killers yesterday but still suffering a bit and cant really concentrate on anything at the moment. Hopefully things will improve but until they do I think I am going to keep my shop in holiday mode and just forget about it for now - one less thing to think about. I hope you all have a good run up to Christmas with plenty of sales.
you sound just like me Max. Having struggled with it for about two weeks I had to go to the docs yesterday as I’m asthmatic and it felt like it was in my chest! Antibiotics only thank goodness so hopefully will be feeling better soon
I hope the stronger meds help. I ended up on a cocktail of diclofenac, amitriptyline, diazepam and codeine which finally sorted mine out, I live in fear of it ever returning.
