Coming soon to Etsy

First of all I do apologise for the look of my blog, blogger 'forced' me to update it and I really do not understand it at all, so its now an awful colour scheme till I can work out what to do with it, seriously thinking of just starting again elsewhere. I am also now finding it very difficult to follow other blogs, as my faithful list has disappeared and I have to go in search of others new posts, so again if I miss you I am so sorry, will try find some time to sort it all out soon, even if it does mean starting again and putting up a new link here. Hopefully somewhere on this post has appeared a preview of one of the cards I have been working on, I have just draft listing a few cards to add to my Etsy shop, my dreams of filling it with wondeful art works are taking a bit longer than I had hoped so had to think of something I could do to keep it going, and still give me enough free time to sketch and paint, with plenty of much needed practice, I will get there just taking a bit longer than I thought. Sales of bags are down everywhere, shows how things are going not enough spare cash for anyone for treats these days, so little point in getting the sewing machine out for more bags, I am still using it though to have fun with cards, I am working on some patchwork card designs, everyone buys cards... right? The cards drafted to go in the shop are a mixture of fabrics, stamps (my new love in life, I do love ink stamping, what fun!) and I have added a couple of sketches to see how they go, gulp... Hope everyone is ok out there, believe there are a few flood alerts around the UK, not too bad here, got a bit wet on the dog walk this morning but first time in longer than I can remember, so cant complain. OK, time to hit 'publish' and hope you can see the card. NB - SORRY, NO IDEA WERE THE IMAGE HAS GONE??? TIME FOR A NEW BLOG SOON I THINK:(

  1. Sorry you are having such a bad time with this, I hate change and I'm still trying to find my way around this 'new' blogger but I did manage to find new posts in my "Reading List". Hope things go well with Etsy, I've been thinking of giving it a go but I need to check out postal charges to USA or International first. Chin up it may turn out ok.

  2. Thanks Jan,
    see I am still here, now made things worse and lost all my links, no idea how to get them back... I give up. You would do great on Etsy.

  3. Oh no! Everything has gone pear shaped hasn't it! I am seriously considering moving my blog to my website (I hate having somebody else having control over my blog like this), the new format is horrid!

  4. that's so weird the probs you are having, I changed over a while ago and have had no problems...but this is one of the reasons I stopped blogging for so long was that there was always some kind of glitch with blogger, I tried a new one on wordpress but couldn't make head nor tail with it!

    looking forward to seeing your cards, I used to love stamping too :)

  5. I had one in wordpress too, totally baffled me that one. Going to have another try later on with the pics - if that doesnt work a rethink will be needed.

  6. I hated wordpress, I also updated a little while and all seems fie, i think once you get used to it , you will like it. I find it a bit more reliable than before , Hope you stick with it x

  7. I agree that the old Blogger was the best, but I had no problems with the changeover, I have seen that I still have the option of going back to the old interface, but if I press the button will everything disappear? So I will leave it alone :(
