Hobby & Craft Forums

It's getting the time at the moment Sue- that's the only thing holding me back really now! I'm about to launch a new business connected to the forum which will help with marketing etc so I'm run off my feet between trying to get that organised, getting a new website built, setting up accounts and ordering the stock as well as trying to work 2 jobs and keeping my print brokering and graphic design business going! It's all go go go! You've defo inspired me though Sue- if I could be half as good at it as you in just a few weeks then I'll be happy lol! You've given me hope lol!

So funny about your spam and human skin! I guess experimenting is the fun part though and at least you now know never to try that recipe again lol! I'm now wondering about your cocoa dilema and it turning the flannel brown...I know vanilla fragrance oil turns CP soap brown but then the vanilla would take away from the chocolate. I'll try to have a look around sometime tomorrow for natural colourant alternatives to the cocoa- do they actually sell brown soap colourant, just a thought as I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere?

Nickie, I am so impressed how do you manage all that. I have very little time with my job, I hate being a nursing home manager. I only went back to it after selling my domestic cleaning business, the cost of running the vehicles and employing the staff became a nightmare. Do you ever sleep LOL

Ha, I also used to run my own domestic cleaning business but like you decided to get out but my problems were more staffing ones than expense. Finding reliable people was a nightmare! I have no idea how I'm managing all this at the moment, I think the excitement of starting something new is keeping me going but it's really hard going at times...I worked a night duty last night, came home after a 10 hour shift, cleaned the kitchen, finished a design off for a client, sent off 2 orders and then sent yet more emails off to potential suppliers and made a few calls and I'm now finally off to bed for a couple of hours sleep before harassing poor Shaun (AKA Huggybear) to install a Magento template for me so I can get on with building the website and then make an ebay listing template...phew...I might get to sit down sometime next year lol! Still, hopefully it'll pay off in the long run...it best had lol!
