Getting things done

Hubby was working at chersty today so an early start to the day. I got a fair amount done but not quite as much as i wanted to but one main thing is I FINALLY got round to phoning the two customers - I still have their items from October - Had they forgotten?? Well Margret is coming tomorrow to collect and Lorraine is collecting on Friday.

I did a few some 'alterations'/ repairing for Bex - Remove labels from two t-shirts and also I finally got round to replacing some of the crystals on bex jacket, she was really pleased but I need to go and get some red hot fix crystals. I hear Ebay calling!! but I'm going to check the price in hobby craft first.

I did some customer alterations I didn't mange to complete them all but I did mange to take in three pairs of trousers, shorten the shoulder straps on a dress and take in a dress and take in a skirt.. I have left to do take in two skirts and new pockets on a pair of jeans which I will do tomorrow. As the jeans aer going to be collected on Friday and the other alterations Tuesday next week.

I did Ebay post, Ebay a bit hit and miss but things are selling, I'll probably list for the next seven days before stopping for the Christmas season. I hoping to make about £160 before Christmas -wishful I think.

Wow, Didn't take Long!!

I'm so pleased that my Ebay is doing well - the Negative comment somebody wrote (even tough I gave a refund! ) is NOW on the second page already and I have had some wonderful, delightful comments since and so it picked my spirits back up. First time i got the Neg comment I saw my score went to 99.2% but since I have seen it go 99.3% and NOW its 99.4% so hopefully by the end of the year it will be 99.5% or even higher!! Just lets hope everyone that buys leaves Positive feedback from now on!!!

I'm hoping my Ebay items will sell and even hoping that I will get lots of counter bids too as I hope to get a few bits for the wii as family presents for Christmas.

It was the usual day today - even managed to get the bags for my Ebay items, so it was a great day, had lots of fun on the Wii especially the fitness mat.

Hubby listed another 15 items today so I have over 90 items listed now.

I so disappointed that there is NO Christmas atmosphere at all - Eltham high street you wouldn't even know that Christmas is just round the corner and also Bluewater isn't that Christmassy!!! Where have the Christmas Carols gone?? And the atmosphere?? I know the credit crunch is around but surly that is more reason to get everyone feeling good and Christmas Carols, mulled wine , roasted chestnuts, people smiling at the shops etc

Strange things happen

Hubby working at the Chersty office today- even put aftershave on today? He doesn't normally!!

Well I have three customers today

1. 9:30 - collection but I did not shorten the skirt as I thought it would spoil the garment
2. 11:00am Ebay collection hoover Dyson £68
3. 1:00pm Jeans pockets to be replaced.

The rest of the day I shall be finishing off dolls clothes and still planning the work/ projects for next year and thinking of new achievements to aim for perhaps one should be -:

• always keep the blog updated and always upload the photos each day and
• secondly not to spend so much time on Ebay.!!!

It has been a grey dull gloomy day today - matched how I was feeling ! I just love the sunshine as it brightens my day but certainly no sun shone today very windy and cold too!!!

Parcels and Annoyance

Oh I'm so annoyed!! In one way but not in another as I've been so lucky to have escaped Negative feedback but I do think when you refund someone for the item which I did and let them keep it!!- For them then to leave me negative feedback is discussing!! Well with that said I feel so much better- I've only got another 7 people to leave feedback which I HOPE will all be positive and the negative will disappear to the second page with only 25 showing on the page anyway. Oh that feedback was left yesterday by the way and I did not get round to doing my blog for obvious reasons!

Well I have been busy with an alteration that came in yesterday- take in a jacket shorten the sleeves and take in the trousers and also I have been listing on Ebay like mad I wrote up 15 items (dolls clothes) and took photos of them ready for hubby to upload this evening. I have also been busy finishing off dolly outfits.

Another parcel came for me today bits and bobs of sewing items that I treated myself too all ready to begin the New year with all good intentions. Yesterday my parcel was tweezers that I ordered from the web as they were so cheap (but excellent quality by the way) I ordered 12 different types/pairs so I'll always have a pair handy as I defiantly need them when threading the overlocker or blind hemmer!! I'm not to sure if I told you about my latest Ebay buying Yoyo makers from clover, they are really good I've had a little play and I must get on and finish Mills quilt as the smallest size is just perfect for an idea I have - by the way this quilt has been an on going project since 2006 - it may just get finished by the time she is 18!!

Lovely day

Mills was at a sleepover so just the 3 of us to go over to mums today. We went up the high street and could not resist going into M&S to see if they had anything on sale and fabulous they had the trousers in my size that I liked yesterday at Bluewater and also a t-shirt and trousers all in the sale £56. (of which £10 was on underwear) So more alterations!! Which I probably will do tomorrow as I want to be as busy as a bee and try and forget about Monday.

Made more progress on my Love Knit bag- finished the gusset section!

Listed another 16 dolls outfits on Ebay, well I wrote them up and photographed them - Hubby loaded them up to Ebay for me. Things are selling but not going that high but it all adds up and gives me extra cash to spoil myself! At present I'm looking at 4D sketch software package.

I added a book on Amazon wish list today - I saw it while in Bexleyheath but always like to check if Amazon sell it cheaper and it is 1/2 price at Amazon.

What a wonderful day!

Hubby working from home today so I enjoy a cup of tea in bed before getting up. Had to get up as i had a wrap a present for Mills as she was going to a sleepover straight fro school so I wanted to make sure she had everything.

Ebay post and listing yet again on the most ever listed I have 111 items listed now as as of 23:48 14 are selling and days still to go more many!! Watchers are appearing and disappearing too but more watchers are appearing all the time than disappearing just wish they would bid!!! Bex is hoping to make some money with things she sorted out of her room over the hols one is selling so far.

Went shopping to Bexleyheath as its getting closer to my op and I'm getting really snappy and short tempered as I very nervous especially as I fear needles and any thing medical. I'm glad I went to Bexleyheath I got some great bargains. Not so lucky at Bluewater in the evening.

We went to Ed's for a meal this evening to cheer my self up and try and forget about Monday. I treated us for a change £38.98. The second time for the day as hubby and I went at lunchtime for a coffee at Costa and Siobhan spotted us too as she goes there with friends after work. Hubby brought me the latest flair magazine and now I'm looking at buying 4d sketch software that was advertised in there. Great magazine just need the time to get on with the projects.

Projects in progress at the moment

• knitted babe doll for Bex
• knitted babe doll for mills
• quilt for mills (this has been ongoing for the last two years)
• art embroidery doll (this has been ongoing for the last year)
• Love knitting bag
• Little teddies (of which mum gave me some wool - so I really want to some of these finished) next week when I'm resting hopefully!!
• loads of dolls outfits
• alterations / fixing
• the above list is just of the top of my head I'm sure there more!

I have made good progress on clearing my workroom so hopefully the new year i can start a fresh and finish each project as I go ....that I don't think will ever happen as I have a lot of interest but I can try, well perhaps one project in various subjets (ie: knitting, free machine embridery, doll making ) is OK?
