Low Stock
When one of my products is sold, that’s a low stock moment. Basically, they are all one-offs. Some might have different variations on a theme like my string shopping bags, or beanies and scarves, but generally each item is one you’ll never see again.
The nature of handmade products is that they are unique. I don’t worry about items being sold out, because I know I can replace it with another unique item. Of course I can make to order if someone wants something similar or the same as another product I’ve already made, but it will always be a one off.
My online shop has lots of one-offs, in fact it’s full of them. I guess that means I’m never low on stock because I’m always creating something new. What a lovely thought!
Have you had your 20% OFF discount code yet? Fill in my newsletter form and you'll get a code to use on your first order. You'll also receive regular newsletters with discounts, new product announcements and news of events I'll be attending so you can see me and my products in real life.
Call me old fashioned, but there's nothing quite like a good ol' face-to-face natter.
Colourful Ramblings
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.
If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better".
A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
