That’s better.

For anybody looking for the knitting patterns – they’ve moved!

I’ve been working with a shopping cart plugin here on WordPress, but it couldn’t accomplish everything I needed from it, so back I go to good old Etsy, with a new account.

The shop is looking a little bit empty at the moment. This is because I have a stall at my local Art Market next Saturday (13th), and I didn’t want to list lots and lots of items on Etsy, only to end up removing them a week later. So, I’m going to wait until after the Market, and list anything that I happen to bring back.

I’ve still got plenty of sewing and knitting projects on the go that will keep me busy up until the middle of October.

I am taking corset orders for October, if anybody wants one? The shipping deadline for items to reach the USA in time for Christmas is October 30th, so you’d better start thinking about it now! If I receive payment by September 28th and your measurements by October 5th, you can have a corset in time for Hallowe’en! (Or Christmas, if you’re in the US!)

Towards the end of the year I’m hoping to be able to devote a bit of time to drafting some patterns for my own designs, and doing a lot more work with organic, Fair Trade and recycled fabrics. I keep talking about them, but so far I’ve been too busy to actually do anything about it. I need to remedy that very soon.

I do like the Internet.

Yesterday, Mamfa popped by specifically to leave a comment that she’d seen a pair of Those Shoes in a size 5, in a shop in Leeds.

Mamfa doesn’t know me, she saw my post via the friends list of a community that we both visit. But she had some useful information, and took the time to leave a comment and pass it on. Wasn’t that kind?

Further investigation reveals that the shoes are now back on the Schuh website, and that my local branch apparently has a couple of pairs in stock.

Hopefully Liz and I will have our wedding shoes after all. 🙂

While I’m on the subject of awesome shoes (when am I not?), you could do worse than to check out Em & Sprout’s Etsy store.

Are they not the most adorable shoes you’ve ever seen? So cute!
