Congratulations to your granddaughter Valerie @valerie
Such a stressful time of year, it’s been 4 years since I’ve had to worry, except it carries on throughout the uni years!
Roz @OrchardFelts your link doesn’t take me to your work today!

Can someone please explain - Folksy orders in the last 2 weeks (this is the shop which I promote as well as the featured maker thing) a big fat soul destroying zero. Etsy orders in the same time period (a shop which gets no promotion) 2 expensive bits of fordite. Seriously how does that work?
I shall now go back to being slightly depressed about the lack of interest in my folksy shop.
(and I hope anyone who got exam result today got the ones they need)

Sasha, my heart goes out for you, I cannot explain, you would certainly expect the featured maker to be selling loads, and you’re selling on the other side, so it shows it does sell… I am sitting on 1399 sales, and I know it will take forever to roll over to the next figure. :persevere: I am also at a loss as to how to get the other side working from me, but the lack of enthusiasm doesn’t help one bit!
The only thing I can say, is it is holiday time for lots of people, and maybe they aren’t even looking at there devices to buy!

Hi everyone! The sun has just come out :sunglasses:
Thanks Valerie @jenniesgems, Sarah @SarahDesignsUK, Sarah @thedotterypotter I am just about to start a bead embroidery project with one of them. These cabs don’t have holes in then, which is perfect for the embroidery as I glue them onto a bead foundation first. You can buy molds with the holes in though. My 8 year old Son has been loving experimenting with the resin today too - I think they will be an addition to his treasure box! Todays experiment for me has been on an old CD, which I am covering in resin and hoping to make into a clock. Will take a day or so before I see how it turns out.
Congrats to your Grandaughter on her A level results Valerie @valerie.
Hi Sarah @thedotterypotter - you are more than welcome to contact me if you think I can be of any help. I will dm you too.
Just working through loving and pinning and will be back later to do more.

Sasha I am so sorry to hear that all your hard work and being a featured seller has not had results as yet. The good thing is that your featured shop, has put you at the fore front of peoples minds and they can see what beautiful pieces you produce. Lets hope that people start buying soon. xx

Good thing that has come from it is my parents finally have something written about/by me that they understand and can show others - apparently not everyone understands papers about the regioselective synthesis of pyrazoles or selective blockade of Kv1.5 ion channels! My mum was very pleased.

Congratulations for you granddaughter Valerie @valerie. I hope everyone else awaiting results has good news too!

Sasha @SashaGarrett fingers crossed that it is just the time of year, maybe all the additional promotion will help and produce sales leading up to the festive season.

Just a relist for me today, a polo poncho crocheted in Monte Carlo Designer yarn.
