We are staying in Tom Kitten

We stayed in another cottage a few years ago for my 40th. The little animals are great for the kids and the cottage and hot tub are great for all of us. There was snow on Exmoor last time we went but we were still in the hot tub nearly every day!

Well I've been doing bits of this and that, kids back at school (yay!!), dd went back yesterday and ds back today (to start his GCSEs!!). He's 15 in 10 days time, can't believe it!

Must email Meri, email VV (in the vain hope that she has some buttons left), oh and dd painted t shirts. I wish I could draw

can I crash your party to ask a question?

for those who sell your wears... how do you work out pricing?

Gingermonkey · 03/09/2008 22:26

hello he-man
I don't think there's any hard or fast rule to pricing...I just pluck random figures out of the air, and hope for the best...other people will (no doubt) have a far better policy.

bythepowerofgreyskull · 03/09/2008 22:38

I make traditional looking lop eared bunnies about 40cm long and little fabric bears (smaller)
various people have asked me to make them a bunny or a bear (or both) people putting in orders for Christmas pressies - I have turned the orders down and said that I will sell individually when they are made but I do it because I enjoy it and don't want to feel pressured.

so I was thinking £10 for a bunny - £5 for a bear. does that sound like a rip off?

Gingermonkey · 03/09/2008 22:47

not at all. I think that's very reasonable.

bythepowerofgreyskull · 03/09/2008 22:54

thanks GM - if I feel brave I will take a couple of photos and put them on my profile tomorrow for further valuations

Gingermonkey · 03/09/2008 23:08

be brave - go on!!!!!

meridian · 04/09/2008 09:47

have added a few photos to flickr two bracelets.. one strawberry quartz and jade.. and the other is onyx and red jade ( it looks fantastic i want to keep it or possibly eat it as it looks delicious) .. and a pic of part of my fairy tale swap.. and embroidered napkin with the frog prince on... oh and a WIP a little ghost named Gilbert...he is embroidered from a doodle in my notebook and will be painted at a later date.. oh and his eyes are meant to be all black with litle white reflections but I didn't get that far yet..
