Thanks for your concern Brenda, but I am fine, Its just that I started on my other work first thing, I was remodelling the menu on my website which needed quite a bit of focus and one of those jobs I needed to stay with untilit was done, so did not get round to updating yesterday’s sales to a short while ago. I was keeping an eye on you all yesterday afternoon :face_with_monocle:

Congratulations on the sales Brenda @teabreaks , Sarah @dotterypottery and Susan @SusanBettyArt a slow waltz to celebrate after all the dancing round the maypole at the weekend :dancer:
Hope you manage to get through the meetings ok Max @MaxPringJewellery :face_with_peeking_eye:
Oh Susan @SusanBettyArt it must be so hard to let go, but I do hope he settles this time
That sounds like just the sort of annoying thing I do Hilary @kokoblue its so annoying when you cant blame someone else for mistakes lol :rofl:
Mel @aquilacrafts I dont know where you get the energy from but pleased you had a good time. I will have to find a you tube video so I can see what its like as I cannot get a picture in my mind.
Emma @QuirkyOwlStudio like Mel, I just use a spreadsheet too.
If I get time I willlist something later on. For now I am going back into the world of SEO… :yawning_face:

Afternoon all,

Glad Rover is getting lots of hugs in his new home Betty @SusanBettyArt, enjoy your extra time painting
Padel sounds fun Mel @aquilacrafts, but too energetic for me - I’ll stick to gardening
Hope you feel better soon Max @MaxPringJewellery

@Little1Leather, like others I use spreadsheets - I had enough of accounting systems in my day job :laughing:

Today it’s a how-to guide for running a crafting business - part of my destash.

All loved to here.
I have just gone to list something new from all the photos I took last week before the craft fair at the weekend, only to discover that they have all sold! Why is it that the items hottest off the needle always sell first? So, of course, I have nothing new to show you.
Here’s something from the fair to make you all laugh… I had a table by the stage, which meant I had a bit of room to spread out. I used it to lay out a small sale of old stock (the things I have in my bargain basement here on Folksy). A couple were looking at some aprons with leopards holding letters aloft. I said to the lady: ‘I only have 2 Ls, an O and a V left. I’ve almost reached the stage where if I meet a child whose name begins with any of those letters I’ll give them the apron for nothing.’
‘Really?’ says the lady. ‘We have a Violet. She’s just three.’ She picked up the apron, folded it into her handbag and left. I didn’t even have the time to point out that I had said ‘almost’!

Reminds me of a story I was told by someone exhibiting a picture in a gallery. A lady came in and was very taken with it and after chatting for a while with the artist said “I really love it - can I have it” Reply - “of course you can”. She said she would be back - came back the next day, removed said piece from the wall and walked out with it under her arm. When challenged she said “Oh, but I was chatting to the artist and he said I could have it”!! Always be careful what you say!!
