DAshing about today. Still no sales .
Morning all . Well done on sales peeps. Probably wonāt get on here tomorrow as off to London to a friendās 60th birthday do ! Not looking forward to the journey and have to come back Sunday , so no time for any cultural activities Will be nice to see old friends though.
Was just going to finish off and photograph a few things for next week but my order hasnāt arrived with much needed wire (ordered Wednesday 1st class!) So that probably means that I wonāt have anything to list as canāt do any photography before or after work Oh well ā¦
Enjoy the weekend everyone . Look forward to seeing all your fabulous work .
Good Morning everyone
Iām already fed up today - Fridayās are food shop day and itās so difficult to stick to my budget of Ā£50 for the three of us adults. I split my shop between Tesco and Lidl but I still canāt manage to stay in budget. this week I was Ā£30 over! The only real luxuries that I have is a chocolate bar a day! Iām sure that if I really worked it all out properly and meal planned in advance, it would be do-able - I must try harder! Today is another day of glazing, (which is also my least favourite part of the pottery process0 and itās been going on for daysā¦Moan, moan, moan! lol
Glad that something went without a hitch at the doctors yesterday Sarah @SarahDesignsUK - itās about time you got a break x
Hope they finish your window installation really soon @LuckyBugHandmade x
Iāll have to wait and see what they prefer - Iāll answer to anything - lol!
Morning All hope you are all well.
I am going to post and run now as I am just off to the hospital with my husband for his appointment. Not sure what time Iāll be back but will try to get all of your links viewed today.
Todays relists are a couple of pairs of cufflinks.
Congratulations to all those sellers! Iām starting to go quite green!
Iām still listing T-shirts - and hereās one,.
Congratulations to all the sellers. Good to see that things are looking better to you @SarahDesignsUK
Todayās Iāve relisted
All caught up to here.

Afternoon
A very grey day today but not too chilly.
Spent the afternoon giving the back lawn itās final cut, and brushing up a ton of leaves, it was really lovely to be busy outside.
Well done on all the sales.
Hope everyone has a good weekend and manage a bit of a rest.

Good afternoon. Have been at the gallery all day - fairly busy this morning but dead this afternoon. Dont suppose the pouring rain helps!
Got a lovely big order through on the other side this morning - only trouble is it is going to USA and she wants it by 26th of this month - Iāve never had a problem with deliveries to the states but it will be just my luck that this one gets delayed! I usually send by Royal Mail - is there a better way that might cut down delivery time?
Nice to hear that I have made it into the best sellers list Cynthia @Brockstones although I always worry when I make it there with minimal sales that things must be very quiet on Folksy generally.
Nothing new to show - still working on things for the craft fair - so its another relist today
Good afternoon, yay happy dancing for sales Lynne and there were 2 for me too thanks to a fellow folkster for one of those xx
Roz @OrchardFelts I only use Royal Mail, I use International Standard Tracked (I donāt ask for tracked and signed as that causes some problems, just tracked) both for large letter and small parcel, not had any issues and they usually arrive within a week. I think paid Ā£17.50 for the last parcel but it was for two of my heavy A4 books
Well I managed to get quite a lot done and feel quite calm, though I have decided to work on my project submission on Sunday morning as it has to be in by Friday next week and I have a busy week of meetings so donāt want to take any chances, but Sunday afternoon itās family time and daughter will be cutting my hair for me so I will relax some as well
Roz @OrchardFelts I use Royal Mail too, I do use tracked and signed . One sale last week got there in 6 days,amazingly.
I have found sending to New York the slowest as they seem to often hold things at customs to screen them for threats.
Good luck.
@SueTrevor I refuse to do the freepost thing too, thankfully it hasnāt stopped my sales.
Roz @OrchardFelts I use international tracked and signed. Iāve not found any courier who will guarantee your parcel wonāt get picked for a random check - how could they! I also look up the HS tariff number for the CN22 sticker, as I was told when I started exporting that it could help speed things up through Customs, even though my business is too small to need to report and all items zero tariff anyway. Better to leave it blank than to get it wrong though.
Another diary today
Evening - my listing for today https://folksy.com/items/7165930-Purple-red-long-beaded-chain-necklace-
All loved and pinned to here. A very windy and wet night here and Im definately in the for evening now! Had a productive day today getting some commission work done. Felt quite flat this week as been worried about one of our girls - she is living back home after having some problems with her Boyfriend. Its not much fun having to come back home is it (we managed to rearrange one of the rooms for her, as I converted her room into my studio!) - but it so heartbreaking seeing them so upset and pleased shes home. You never stop worrying about them do you regardless of age. Have a lovely weekend and good luck to those of you with craft fairs.
Oh Sarah ! @thedotterypotter, Iām so glad Iām not the only one who hates glazing! Any glazing, brushed, dipped you name it, I hate it! The merest thought depresses me! Itās so messy and fiddly and yuk! I havenāt got any at the moment but am working to fill my kiln for a bisque firing, I donāt mind that bit! Iāve just been to my suppliers today and got a few bits, not much at all really, clay and a couple of glazes, the brush on type, and thatās over Ā£120 gone!!! Oh well, has to be done Lolxxx
