The Kasey Chambers CD has finished and the next one starts automatically. I listen to Paul Kelly do a brilliant live version of To Her Door and wonder if the guy in the silver top taxi cab ever did make a picture and get them all to fit. I wish I could play the harmonica like … Continue reading Last minute ‘cramming’
I’m still here
There used to be a time when, if a business didn’t have a website, I looked elsewhere to spend. Now most have a website, but if it’s out of date or their latest blog post is ages ago, I move on to find someone who does care about their customers and wants to talk to … Continue reading I’m still here
Lots of autumn sales at The Square

I've just added some cool new things to my shop. They're already made and ready to ship … Continue reading New floor stock*
Nutri-grain for tea again
Tonight I'm celebrating some more exposure from madeit.com.au. Lucky me. Today they featured my little summer top in their Picks From the Xmas Gift Guide and the wholesale interest that has already followed has been exciting. Earlier this week one of madeit's guest bloggers featured my Christmas birds amongst her favourite handmade decorations (Little Pipika … Continue reading Nutri-grain for tea again
Talking to customers
If blogging is talking to your customers, I should never say that I haven't had time. But a fortnight just went and slipped on by and left me talking to customers at a market on the weekend, on Facebook, and via email, but not by blogging. My apologies. Kinda rude when I put it like that. … Continue reading Talking to customers
