Raising the internet profile and other things!

One line a zillion threads!!

I forgot from last time I tried online shop building how tiring on the eyes and spirit trying to get your work noticed is.  It's a constant shout 'hey how fab is my stuff'. 

Well anyone who knows me knows I am very good at boosting others up rather than myself....I guess that's why children, in the classes I taught tried at the work I set!  Oh and it was fun!!  Making stuff these are skills I passionately feel everyone should have.

So what have I listed this week.
These
 
Stitch Keepers.  I love this idea.  Just wish others would! 
 
They keep your stitches on the needles when you are not knitting.  The commercial ones are awful just a blob of rubbery plastic to stick on needle ends.  I can't count the amount of times I've taken my knitting out of the bag and I've got dropped stitches or the knitted item comes off completely...grrrr!
 
 
And this


My Flutterby Yarn and Pattern Kit.  Again a good idea, I think and not expensive!  I have selected different types of yarn to make up the skein and included a beginners pattern to create the scarf below.

A long Skinny Scarf that can be knit in just a couple of hours....knit tonight and wear tomorrow!!!

They are available to buy here

Yes that's the other news I have opened a shop on Folksy.  Some may know it, it's a UK site so a smaller number of sellers to compete with!

In between taking Mum to hospital appointments and sewing the Lurex cord around new ones of these

I have been playing with an idea for a Christmas advent Calendar....need to get a shift on and make the prototype before Xmas opportunities pass me by!

That's all for now I guess.  Best wishes passing onto you,
Jacqui

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

Is ma hair alright?!

A little this and that tactics going on!!

So little time to keep up! Isn't this a beautiful brooch...straight copying from a Royal School of Needlework book on Stump work by Kate Sinton...this adorns my winter coat and I'm constantly receiving compliments. One of the reasons I am trying to teach myself Stump work is using the technique for a book I have had in my mind for years...years! So far I have several sketches of scenes within the story....I have made a start on the cover... Its finished but not complete as I have to wait for the measurements from the completed pages...I love it from its layered fabrics to the printing ink colour and the hundreds of hand stitching...and Shisha mirrors! I have my Introduction page finished too. Here's a detail image of the capital letter... So next came a Forest scene...this was my first choice to do as I 'thought' (!) it would be an easy one to start as I knew the techniques I wanted to use...here's the sketch for the page....
