Went shopping today and took my two daughters to lunch... (now feeling very bloated) I had homemade steak in a suet pudding, chips and peas it was lovely. Since my oven is broke I do not get the chance to have chips so I thought what the heck.
I really enjoyed it and it was very reasonable too.. they do Sunday dinner for £6.00 so that's my next Sunday taken care of.
I came home, had a rest for an hour and now its time to get working.. I have lots of new designs in my mind for the summer and lot's of new stuff planned for my new shop.
I really want to get away from ebay, although it has been great for the last 5 years the fees and commission charges are just too much but you tend to be stuck because you know it has a good turnover and lots of people get to see my work.... so its hard to go it alone. I
Also want to start selling my bridal stuff but ebay is not the place, people expect a Bargain and for all the work that goes into handmade stuff I really am not prepared to make my stuff cheaper.
Although the other day a lady emailed me and she started off the email with I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your stuff, I have a little girl who would love your clips and bobbles, then she asked... if I bought alot could I have them cheaper, like a £1.00 each I have to admit it really, really Pi**es me off when I am asked this... its like they give you all the flannel and then drop the bomb, its hard to reply with a polite NO... it makes you feel like your working for nothing and some people just don't appreciate the time and effort and Love that goes into what you make... and fortunately it is only SOME people.
Most of my returning customers seem to appreciate my work and it does make me feel really proud and satisfied that I have made a little girl very happy and somewhere out there they are wearing my clips and bobbles...
