must get focused


I must get my act together and start promoting my shops http://www.madeit.com/sally griff and http://www.sallygriff.etsy.com/

I have decided summer items in madeit ,winter items in etsy .Logical don't you think ..then when the seasons alters vice versa.

At present quarter of the way up a baby shawl getting heavy now .It's in the softest pure wool 4 ply fom Bendigo mills .How I wished I lived nearer to it so I could go to thier shop .Don't think I would ever come out.It would be like heaven .Putting up some photos so you can see some of my things .Let me know what you think
