	Miggledy Maggledy is launched!
	I have things! In my Folksy shop! :) One day later than I hoped, I actually now have some items listed and available for sale. I have another scarf and a few other small items to put up next week, but I haven't photographed them yet so I can't do it today. I have just started another scarf, a crochet one this time and I have enough yarn for another of the chunky knitted scarves in a different colour. Then I think I will have to put scarves aside until next winter and focus on the soft of things people might want in warmer weather instead. I have lots of ideas to keep me busy. Now all that remains to be seen is whether anyone will buy stuff. I have set up a Facebook page for Miggledy Maggledy so I can announce new items going up in the shop. (If any of you actually use Facebook, I'd be very grateful if you could "like" the page.) I am also trying to screw up my courage to approach the Grug collective who have a shop in town. They have some lovely things, which is a bit intimidating, but I do have some ideas that might fit with the other items they sell. Speaking of Grug, I was amused to see that they sell handmade soap called "C'est bon Sebon". It wasn't until I said it aloud that I realised that "C'est bon" and "Sebon" sound the same. The name is a French/Welsh hybrid and translates as "It's good soap". :) [Cross-posted from Dreamwidth by way of a backup http://heleninwales.dreamwidth.org/86414.html.

Thanks. The crocheting certainly gives me something new and different to do and makes a lovely change from academic study.

I was interested in buying the scarf.

The system says that it isn't set up to "ship to your address", meaning the U. S. I'd still like to buy one, if you can figure the shipping charges and I can pay by any (other) method. :o)

If not, I can live with that also.

I hadn't added overseas postage because I thought it might work out too expensive, but I will go and work it out and see if I can update the page accordingly. I'll also let you know how much it will cost.

Are you OK with a pink scarf, by the way? I have a blue one that only needs the fringe adding which I'm going to photograph and upload tomorrow.

I'll check with my Sis, on the color. There is no rush on this, it isn't for any special occasion... just something for her, from me because she "is" my Sister. :o)

Thanks much.

I have updated the page now with US postage. I'm delighted to say that it isn't as expensive as I thought it might be. :)

Regarding the colour, I was never a big fan of pink when I was younger, but I rather like that shade and now I have grey hair, I find pink suits me much better than it used to. However, the blue is nice too!

I haven't managed to upload the blue scarf yet because I got distracted making a present for my granddaughter and forgot that I have to go out this evening so I've run out of time today. I'll make sure I do it tomorrow.

The blue scarf is now up on Folksy. It is more or less identical to the pink one, only blue.

Here's the link: http://folksy.com/items/4164106-Chunky-winter-scarf

As we say here in the U.S., "The check is in the mail". That is, I've paid through PayPal!

Thank you; I know she will love it!!!

The heart garland is cute.

Good luck with Folksy, and the Grug collective - the worst they can do is say no, but you knew that already.

At least I know they will decline politely if my work isn't for them because one of the founder members is friends with my daughter. :)

I have recently found some patterns that I really love and I'm getting more and better ideas. I think that now (having polished up my skills) I can start making the sort of thing they're after, so once I've made up a few samples, I'll pop into the shop and have a chat with them.
