Moving blog providers
I shall be moving the Stalker blog to a different provider. Not liking the Blooger format - sorry guys :( Gonna move over to Live Journal instead. I'll post when i've set it up.
Just some cool stuff I found around the interwebs
I do alot of looking around for cool sites and stuff while i'm bored at work (hope no-one in my office is readin!), so i thought i'd share some.
A very cool online shop for beautiful Japanese febarics: http://www.fabrictales.com/
Handmadeology.com - a VERY cool website were you can get tips from selling your handmade goods to accounting advice, tips on marketing, all sorts. Well worth a vist:
Of course, the girls over at Support Supernatural deserve a shout out. They do so much work for such a good cause.

Save The Rhino
For the next 3 weeks, the money from EVERY sale of items in the Stalker Shop will be going to my Uncles charity of choice, Save The Rhino: www.savetherhino.org.
Mark has Parkinsons and wanted to do something for the charity before he leaves us. My other Uncle, David and my cousin Rosie will be climbing Kilimanjiro with him. If you wanted to donate directly, you can do so here: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RosyWorsfold Anything over the target amount will go to The Parkinsons Society
So please help if you can by either buying something in the shop or by donating directly. This charity means so much to Mark and our family and it would also mean the world if you can help out, even if it's just a few quid.
Thanks!!

After a looooong abcense (apologies), Stalker is back! Mainly becaue i've lost my job. Again. And can now afford the time to actually sit down and work at Stalker to try and bring some cash in.
And the delightful Jazzy Elizabet has featured one of Stalker's new items on her awesome blog: http://www.hivennn.blogspot.com/ She had over 1 million hits since April this year which i think we can all agree is pretty bloody awesome! And how cool does the skull bead necklace look?! Pretty awesome!
In my last post i promised a pic of the 'studio' at home, so here it is:
I think we can all agree that myself and Sam are not the tidiest of people! lol! Still, a workroom isn't supposed to be tidy so i feel no shame! Ha!Ha!

I'm such a slacker.....
Haven't posted in here for MONTHS - i'm such a slacker!! I will do better, i promise!
Getting some new beads this week and I WILL sit down and start making stuff again. Life has been throwing stuff at me left, right and centre so haven't had time to actually sit down and make anything. In fact, the work room as become a bomb site (pics to follow later) and I really must sort it out!

Bleurgh!!! :(
Ill, ill, ill........ :( Sore through, bad back, dodgy shoulder - will it never end?! I should be tucked up in bed with Danny's Girls of The Playboy Mansion boxset and a hot chocolate. Instead, I am within the dull grey walls of the office, desperately fighting for my job so I'm not made redundant :( I need more people to buy my stuff so I can get out of here!!
On a different note, have been considering a SAGE eving course. I could earn £200 a day as a freelance SAGE person. It would fund Stalker better than this job does and it would mean I could work less hours a week and work more on Stalker.
Still mulling it over.......

- Get a list of craft fairs for this year and see about stands at them all
- Start asking local businesses about sale or return goods to see how it goes - DONE!!
- Get more stuff listed online until I can afford a website too - DOING NOW!!
- Look into part-time college courses in Silversmithing, clothes making and leather crafting
- Spread the Stalker word online, in shop windows, ANYTHING
- MAKE MORE SALES
- Trawl the charity shops for good, second hand jewellery for re-working
- Get the hell out of working in an office before my brain compeletely turns to mush!!!
