Another beautiful sunny day and the leaves are changing colour.

Hundreds of acorns have dropped from the tree and this morning a very busy squirrel is stocking up -running from one side of the garden to the other - delightful.

Am going to tackle my sewing room today - Not sure how I've accumulated six unopened bottles of Anitas Tacky glue !!

Whew...just helped to hang my part of the  exhibition in The Gallery in Southfield, Wimbledon. it is part of the Open House weekend that is happening in Southfields and Wandsworth this weekend.

Anyway, our Private View is on this friday (30th September) between 5.30 and 8.30 and also Saturday and Sunday....11am-5pm each day.

I recently received some pictures of a summer wedding from one of my recent brides, and the images made me smile, they were just so her :)

These are just two of the many items within The Urban Tiger boutiques which are great gifts ideas or fab accessories to finish your christmas party outfit.

From my reading of the forums on the two sites I have shops on, I found that most sales are generated by other sellers. I guess its Etsy’s way of further publicizing your gaff. This is not a bad idea as Etsy is vast and it is so easy to go unnoticed. There is allot of work to do as a seller on that site to be noticed, like taking great shots of  items,being active within the forums,adding favourites to you shop to name a few. That’s why I’m adding a couple new segments to the…

Hello!

I've just launched my latest screen print limited…

I have recently created an Etsy account and shop, but sadly just because it exists doesn't mean anybody knows about it, does anybody have any ideas on how I can promote it and get my name out there in the big wide world?

I am selling handmade cards which can be sold as seen or tailored to suit an individual, I am selling them in packs as to save the buyer on postage costs and give a real barain, i am charging just under five pounds a pack and  just under two pounds in postage as they…

My sister had been looking for a necklace and matching bracelte but could'nt find what she wanted. She managed to find a pack of two bracelets but no necklace to match. She showed me the bracelets and I told her I could easily make her a necklace from the spare bracelet.

So off I went to raid my bead stash, to find some coordinating beads. The original…

 .....I’ve been looking at free websites. These are companies which offer free homepages to advertise your products. I bought The Urban Tiger .COM & CO.UK domains early this year from a site called Cheapest UK.com. They offer three free home pages  but the designs are pants!!!  Think it may be time to think  of some sort of website because when I qouting the blog address to people I get funny…
