Why oh Why???
Do i keep waking up at stupid o'clock??? last few mornings it has been at 5am then this morning it was 3.40am!!!!!.
The bags underneath my eyes are getting bad now lol.
Well i've sold another pair of my slippers (thanks mum!), now just need to make a sale to someone that is'nt family and i'll be happy!!.
been busy with my rainbow shale wrap, making a monster and another pair of slippers!, i've got loads on the go, well i do have 3 shops to stock now. hope i have'nt bitten off more then i can chew.
Mind you having no sales means the shops look fuller lol.
Has'nt the weather today been loverly!!, i've done all my washing ( 3 loads) and sat out to do some knitting.
Not looking forward to tomorrow as middle'un has a friend coming round for tea and she is as accident prone as my middle'un!, i'm gonna have to have eyes in the back of my head lol.
Worked out if i send my slippers in tissue paper and a envelope postage works out at about 61p, wheres if i send it in a mailing sack wrapped in tissue paper it costs me £1.28, which would you say looks better? ( bearing in mind i offer free uk postage?).

New shop!
Yesterday was a bad day confidence wise! :(, a firm kick up the bum was needed!!.
So i decided that i needed to put myself out there alot more, so i have opened a esty shop www.Sharnemainiaknits.etsy.com , now i just need to get knitting to fill it and my other shops.
If anyone else is on esty would they please heart my shop and i'll do the same for them! as i think this ranks the listings higher ( i could be wrong! lol).
Icant seem to find my listings at the moment but that could be because its been less then 24 hours since i listed them.
So need to get some knitting done today but i woke up this morning feeling under the weather :(, loads of coughing and sweating! (nice huh!!!) and the beginnings of a cold!.
Whats the bets my partner will want to do the whole bank holiday outing today?? just when i feel like crap!!! always the way lol.
Working on my rainbow shale wrap at the moment and even if i do say so myself i'm loving it!!!, would keep it for myself only i never go to places that would be worthy of wearing it!, wearing it to tescos or to my little'uns playgroup really would'nt do it justice!.
Also finshed off another pair of slippers yesterday in bright yellow, sunshine for your feet!.
Hope you all enjoy your bank holiday off xxxxx

pinch punch first of the month!!
Wow! may already!!!!, this year is just flying past!!!, i have an exciting day of sitting in the fracture clinic with my little one today! oh the joy, but i do feel for her look at the size of the cast!!!.
Well i made my first misi sale!!!, ok it was to my sister but a sale is a sale right??!!! lol.
It was the pocket slippers in blue which is the pair i really liked lol. I loved the feedback she gave me, made me laugh early this morning lol.
I have put a loverly girly pink pair of slippers up in the blue ones place so if you want to check them out, just click the misi tag or click here http://www.misi.co.uk/gifts/11961/Pocket_slippers.html
in fact you'd be doing me a huge favour if you could take a look at my stores and let me know what you think?, be honest i can take it! ( tissues at the ready!).
Decided yesterday my dishcloths were looking worse for wear ( oh boy dont i lead an exciting life!!!) so decided to buy some more craft cotton to knit some new ones, now my last ones were about 3 years old and at that time craft cotton was around 99p a ball, so i was shocked to see in the only yarn shop in town it was now £2.20 a ball!!!, looked on the yarn stall on the market and they had it for £1.80 so alittle cheaper ( blimey i'm sounding like a right skinflint are'nt i!!??), i do prefer to knit my own as then i can get them to the size i want and they last and last and believe me in this house they take some battering!, i know i made my sister some and her boyfriend cleans his work and football boots with them and she says they wash up like new.
