* 21 *

1) A quick update on my visit to the Drs on Wednesday. I was given my first set of tablets and was told I have to take one every day and as they are ' natural' there shouldn't be any side effects. In three months I'll have to go back for another blood test to see if the dosage needs altering. It might take a while for things to start kicking in and for me to feel better but it will be worth it in the end.


2) I've been thinking about my Etsy shop and was wondering what might be good sellers apart from patterns and finished bunnies? I'd like to try and expand but am not quite sure what direction to go in or if I should even expand at all? What do you think ?

you should start to feel better soon my DD2 has the same and she is only 16 - she has improved - but it has taken a while for her tablets to stablise her thyroid. Hope all goes well.

hope they start to make you more yourself soon.
your etsy shop looks great, haven't been there for a while, the patterns are clearly a success.

Glad you got some medication - hope it works soon for you. My internet is really slow at the moment - I've just tried to look at your Etsy stuff, but it's taking an age to load, sorry!

So glad you have started your meds - hope you see an improvement quickly.

These daily posts are great - especially at this time of year when you are having to really look at the tiny detail to find something to photograph (and your finding plenty!) .
Hope you start feeling better soon. xxxxx

My honest opinion is that you should make the things that you really, really enjoy most. Your passion always shows through. For me, it's whatever takes my fancy rather than limiting my creative endeavours to one subject.

I'm new to your blog and I wanted to say how much I love it!

Glad you are getting your medication sorted. Hopefully you will see a big improvement very soon. I can't really advise you on the shop. I haven't updated my 'shop' since March 2010! It seems your patterns are really successful. I would buy them myself but can't knit! Maybe you could promote your custom orders more on this blog? What do you WANT to do? Make things you enjoy making so that it doesn't become a chore.x

Hope the meds do what they need to do and make you feel better.
No telling with Etsy, I want to knit more and add to mine but I'm never sure what will sell either?

I wondered if you could sell kits along with your patterns - for things like the rabbits which you make too. So you could show photos of what they would be like when knitted up. Sometimes it's handy not to have to think and search around to find appropriate wool that will look good etc (I'm speaking more from sewing experience here! If I'm wanting to make something special like a sofy it's often useful not to have to think at all....but still good to do the making yourself).
Hope this makes sense! Juliex
