Who stole my batteries?, is a common cry in our house. With two boys who both enjoy playing on Games consoles, they are constantly sneaking off with the batteries in my camera for their Games controllers - Grrrrrrrrr! Today I have the dilemma of whether to take a wholesome walk to the local shop to buy more batteries, or to wait for my Other Half to buy some in town and bring them home at tea-time, while I, in the meantime, get down to more stock-making.
Hmmmmm, dilemma - I should really go on to The Audience (current TV programme for people facing personal dilemmas) - it's very surreal, but I kind of like it - 50 people follow you around for a day and try and sort out your dilemma for you - how handy would that be LOL :) You have to see it to understand it - it appeals to my sense of the bizarre though! (Perhaps my dilemma isn't quite life-changing enough though, hehe!)
Anyhow, I managed to squeeze enough juice out of the camera this morning to take a couple of snaps of my finished 'tweedie' pouches - they've only been waiting a month, but I was waiting for some hand-made labels to arrive in the post (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) . . .
I'm thinking of taking part in Blogtoberfest this month - an annual blogging festival where you have to post every day for a whole month. Am I mad? Obviously, because I probably need this like a hole in the head, but it sounds like fun - not sure how I'll deal with my two working days yet, I'm not very 'savvy' about scheduling posts :) You can take part here if you're also mad! :)
I should also call this month Stocktoberfest, as I'm hoping to stock up my Big Cartel shop to the rafters for C_______ mas (ssshhhhh!) - poor Etsy will have to take a back seat as I feel I can only concentrate on one online shop, so I'm devoting all my efforts to my main shop, which I've had a nice trickle of orders from recently. I also prefer Big Cartel's interface and your products don't suddenly disappear if you've forgotten to renew them as you have to in Etsy - aaargh!
Must dash - 'Little S' forgot a fork for his school packed lunch and his class are going to be running around the village before lunch to practice for Cross-country - if I'm smart I might catch him as he runs past our house and I can give him his fork for his dinner!
See you every day for a month???!!!***

P.S. I will host a Giveaway at some point during October to tie in with Blogtoberfest - might as well go the whole hog, hehe :) :)

The purses look great Alison, will look out for your comments and will answer some of them. Rona.
Hey Alison had to laugh at your comment about Blogtoberfest.....if you're mad!!!
I may very well have taken part this year, but am playing catchup after being away for a month. Between gardening, sewing for markets and general life, things are a little hectic. But I shall be visiting regularly to see how you're going.
Love the tweedie pouches and the labels look great too.
A nice sunny morning here and as I'm up early I might get a little sewing done before everyone else wakes up.....
