Morning all - sorry to hear about your son @thedotterypotter and hope all is well @teabreaks.
Another cow parsley card today and very pleased the one listed yesterday has sold already (that doesn’t happen very often!!) so one sale to report @paperchainsandbeads yay!
Got some lovely cards which I have been working on over the past few days that really are good enough to eat, so can’t wait to show you them all!!

We were on the road for about 7 hours yesterday as we decided to take our daughter door to door! Which was probably cheaper than one way on the train, tube and buses for one! At least we know she’s there, but without internet at the moment! Which isn’t good. Anyone who thinks an arts degree is easy, well it isn’t. A lot of her contemporaries are finishing this year, but with one year foundation and one year on placements it’ll be 2019 before she finishes!
Hope your feeling better today Brenda @teabreaks. Sarah, @thedotterypotter, my niece felt something wasn’t quite right with her in her late teens, and took herself off to her Drs, she had a faulty heart that should have been picked up when she was a baby, had it corrected and is now running marathons again as well as working as a paramedic saving people’s lives, I do hope your son make a speedy recovery soon.
Onto today’s listing, another keyring…
On a side note, I have been searching for my items, and there pages and pages down. Take keyrings for instance, I think there on about page 9… I have tried changing the keywords and relisting them, sometimes it makes it worse. I don’t know what else to do, I used to be able to keep my items near the top, no wonder my sales have plummeted. Any ideas anyone?

Morning all.
I have lots of little studs for the next few days as I am making fair stock, not very thrilling for you I’m afraid.
Thanks Max @paperchainsandbeads I have dodgy knees, so am taking it easy, the treadmill is easier on the joints than road as it has suspension.
Sarah @thedotterypotter I hope you get to the bottom of it and that your son feels better.
Sue @SueTrevor I hope your daughter enjoys her placement. Will take a look at the listings, I think title has the most weight in search placement.

@SueTrevor the only difference I can see between those in the first couple of places and yours is that they mention keyring at least 3 times in the tags, maybe add textile keyring, key ring,lightweight keyring , ladies keyring or some such.
I think you could also call them bag charms, as they seem popular too. Might broaden the market.

Not meant to be taking part in this thread at the moment but couldn’t resist looking at all your lovely makes and reading your news.
Hope things are OK Brenda @teabreaks and that you get some answers regarding your son Sarah @thedotterypotter
Managed to get my living room decorated - just need some cushions to finish it off.
Thanks for all the well wishes for my run yesterday. The weather was against me - it was so hot. Normally I wouldn’t sit outside in that heat let alone run in it! I made it round the course though - not very fast and I did have to walk for some of it but I completed it and ran the finishing 1K round the track of the olympic stadium (worth it just for that experience!) … and I got the t shirt and medal to show for it!
Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery and Maxine @paperchainsandbeads - I also suffer with my knees and hips but they have actually improved since I have been running.

FWIW Sue @SueTrevor When I was taking a look at mine I’ve noticed that listings that start ‘Pyrography’ for example, are placed higher than those with titles that contain it further along. I don’t think that’s the only variable though.
Hand painted pyro heart from me!

@DeborahJonesJewellery when I search keyrings the 3 I have turn up on page 9 and 10 and today’s has made it to page 5, but you’re saying when you search it they are in the first few! How odd! Perhaps they think I don’t want to look at my own! It’s the same with my other stock, I’m well down in the listings when I look. I shall add some of your suggestions, thank you

So sorry to hear we never stop worrying about our children. I hope that he gets some answers soon, you have to be persistent with your GP I know that from experience make a nuisance of yourself if necessary.

I spent June doing a promo in a facebook group belonging to a parenting forum I used to moderate so rather neglected here. But lots of sales there.

Good afternoon all.
Posting this during a rain break in the tennis - will I get anything done at all during the next 2 weeks 
Congratulations Roz @OrchardFelts - that’s quite an achievement 
Brenda @teabreaks - hope everything settles down soon.
Hope your daughter has a great time Sue @SueTrevor - no amount of desk learning can replace real life experience, the next 3 months could set her up for life with not just practical experience but, more importantly, great contacts for the future.
2 more new strings of beads for you today:
Got to dash now - I have a quote to do. We had to sign a non-disclosure agreement so i can’t say for what - it’s all very incognito
