Opps!

Wednesday, November 5th, 2014

Having tried to make sure I was not doubling up on ideas I did just that with the idea for Puddle Ducks which was actually part of my first ever PiBoIdMo it turned out. I think the only way around this is going to be to make a great big database of all the ideas […]

A Learning Experience

Monday, November 26th, 2012

So yesterday I did the village craft fayre all profits were for charity and yet it was the worst one I have ever done. It was slow – all of them are being slow at the moment but something else was going on, people were still buying the odd bit from the other stalls. Now […]
