Hi all,

Something new from me today. Iā€™ve bought some lovely sepia design papers and this is the first card Iā€™ve made with it.

Morning all,
Todayā€™s listing

Roz, @OrchardFelts I think itā€™s a case of January blues! However, Iā€™m pretty certain Iā€™ve seen workshops advertised on Folksy before now, so I would imagine you can. On a side note, I have now been in touch with the people wanting me to do a workshop, and now I have to wait and see if their interested. I think I went quite high on my costs, but, I am very experienced except in teaching, and Iā€™m not going to get stressed about it unless the financial reward is there. I have to say, itā€™s already taken up a good chunk of my time, just composing emails and doing some research. Iā€™m so glad I asked for help on this forum, itā€™s been so useful. Thereā€™s still a huge amount of preparation to do, which I may do anyway, so Iā€™m ready to go next time someone asks. They donā€™t want me until after the summer, if at all, so I have plenty of time. Iā€™ve been looking at some well known embroidery artists on the internet, and they seem to go right back to the basics, so I must remember not everyone knows as much as me! And try and pitch it right. Right, less about meā€¦ off to do some hearting!

good afternoon allā€¦
I NEARLY had another sale today but the lady had difficulty paying. She didnā€™t have paypal
I told her that she could send me a cheque but she said that she doesnā€™t have a cheque bookā€¦mmm.
Never mind, I have had a good month.
I just wish that folksy would have the same facility as the dark side where people can pay with their card and I donā€™t have to have another account. I have enough to cope with in life without having to sort out a stripe accountā€¦never mindā€¦it wasn;t meant to beā€¦
Here is my listing for today

Hi Roz
Have you thought about offering yourself as a tutor for evening classes run by your council?( if they run) They donā€™t pay that much, but itā€™s ok -round about Ā£15 per hour and you donā€™t usually have to be a qualified teacher - but they do sort out lots for you ; venue ,equipment, students.
Some even offer day workshops -they do here. It could be a way of dipping your toe in the water but you may have to wait for a new term /September. I donā€™t know. It depends how keen they are on creating new opportunities for the locals. Itā€™s a bit scary and thereā€™s lots of work but it can be fun with like-minded people and as i keep saying to OH , itā€™s a way of getting people interested in a private class . I hope the January blues leave with Januaryā€¦

Roz @OrchardFelts Iā€™m sure Iā€™ve seen workshops being sold on here too, wouldnā€™t have a clue of how to organise anything like that though.

Iā€™m struggling with selling online (Iā€™m doing OK on Facebook), it was so easy with my wee jewellery shop but this time round itā€™s hard work. I need to figure out a way to change that though cause my wee house is filling up fast with candles and melts, theyā€™re so addictive to make :laughing:

@PetraBradleyPrints possibly, youā€™d have to ask someone whoā€™s been on this thread longer than me! 30 weeks today, and slowing up considerably!

good evening yay happy dancing for your visits from the sales fairy :fairy: Valerie and Valerie :).

Shame Brenda, could you not send an invoice, customer doesnā€™t need a paypal account for that and itā€™s very easy to do on Paypal.

Jessica @jessicagoulty and Petra @PetraBradleyPrints, not our first Listing Challenge baby, we have had a few but not for a while so will be lovely to have one again :slight_smile:
