Sending love to you Valerie @jenniesgems. I hope the hospital staff manage to help your mum.

Sarah @thedotterypotter, Wow!!! Congrats on all those sales.

Thanks to everyone for the fishy bag love. I’m currently using the laptop while sitting with a bag of frozen peas on my shoulder. I did something a couple of days ago and the pain in my shoulder was excruciating. Since then the pain has returned to how it was before my cortisone injection. I didn’t realise quite how much relief that injection had given me until now!

My new listing today is a bit of wistful longing for summer days. All loved and pinned to here.

Valerie @jenniesgems sending you hugs, I hope your mum improves quickly :purple_heart:
Pat @silverbirchstudio and Helen @PocketfulCreations I’m glad you liked them. Helen, you poor thing, I hope it’s not too long before your next injection.
Sarah, your sales are astounding :grin: well done
Today’s listing

Yesterday’s workshop was lovely and relaxed. The students who are all very talented at sewing but not necessarily in free motion sewing produced some lovely work. I think everyone was exhausted after an afternoon of sewing and chatting, and one had a two hour drive back home! We were so cocooned in our warm little room, we had no idea the weather had changed to being dark and very wet outside!


I didn’t get back yesterday, I have an enormous amount of catching up to do :grin:

22 sales to add today please Max @MaxPringJewellery x
Thanks for your order Sarah @SarahDesignsUK x Well done on making food suitable for your guests…I wouldn’t even know where to start!

Son is coming home from Uni today and I feel a bit upset that I haven’t managed to clean the house so we can put up the decorations this afternoon. I don’t want to put them up whilst there is loads of mess around! If I have another year like this one…I’ll have to employ someone to do my packaging…the other day I packaged for 10 hours straight! I’ve had an order to America overnight…I must check to see if it has any chance of getting there before Christmas!

Arrrgh 61 posts to catch up on!
Just back from London, now in gallery doing an afternoon shift as it is open today due to the town Christmas market being on.
Had a lovely time in London - got absolutely drenched while out shopping yesterday but managed to get all my Christmas shopping done except for a few stocking fillers :slight_smile: … and I ate far too much!

I think Sarah @thedotterypotter should do a course in online promotion for us all - you certainly seem to have got it worked out!

And a sale to report, Max @MaxPringJewellery - just come in as I was catching up :slight_smile:

Another re list for me today, hoping to get something new made this week.
