She lives in a house in the country

No place like home

I often post photo's from home on my Facebook page & get such lovely comments from people who tell me how lucky I am & how they would love to see inside my cosy 3 bedroom country cottage. 

 I guess you forget to appreciate your surroundings when you live it every day.

Knit a bow

Simple hand knit bow pattern. 

Knitting this simple bow is so easy & all you need to know is how to cast on & bind off, how to knit & purl & how to sew up.

Let's start with what you need....

1 pair UK 4mm needles.

1 small scrap of DK yarn.

Darning needle to sew up.

(optional:- button for decoration, hair elastic or French hair clip)

Let us begin....

How many media sites is too many??

Just how many social media sites do we need?

'Start an on-line business' they said.... 'You will make a killing' they said...

Just who are they & what do they know??

OK, so I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but did I realise how flooded the market was going to be & how much time it takes to get my shop out there....Simple answer is, no. But I kinda do now.

This is where it all started, a simple head band I made for a friend & posted on Facebook. Suddenly everyone I knew wanted one so I thought I must be on to a winner. 

Things were good, no..they were great!! Orders were constant & I was clicking my needles every waking hour. Then Facebook (or as my crafty friends have now nicknamed it Mr Face-ache) changed how businesses were being seen. Suddenly I spent more hours networking than I did knitting. The orders were still coming but not to the extent they were. Time for my next social media search.
