Oh my... it's 2011...!!

How did that happen??? I guess having a 6 month old baby has made the time fly by so quickly! Yes, he celebrates his half year birthday tomorrow already! We've had lots of ups and downs with him and I now know the local hospital pretty well, but he's doing great and is just so scrummy!! Here he is yesterday wearing his red and white cardi knitted by Jewellery Angel on Folksy's mum He's such a bruiser that it only just fits him now (he mostly wears 12-18 month, eek!).

2 Days Past My Due Date....

And here I am STILL waiting for baby to make an appearance!

So, to keep me sane while waiting I've joined the Folksy July Jesters! Hopefully it will as big a success as the June Loons were!

I've only managed to list on 4 days so far... but have made 2 sales today wooohooo! Once again to the amazing Mish72. She bought two of my new favourites, so I'll definitely be listing them again soon...

The top ones are handknit cotton in new vintage style shades which I love! The bottom ones are cotton twist and are so soft.

And finally... I'm going to attempt to add a slideshow of Jester's listing to my blog... here goes!

Last Day for the Folksy June Loons

I think that will have to do me for today, but I'll definitely be adding some more tomorrow now I seem to know what I'm doing!

Lots of Blogs...!

I've been very lucky to have been included in some amazing blogs over the last month.... I'm going to list them all here then hopefully I'll manage a June Loon Treasury all of my own! Here goes...

There are some amazing items there and I'm very privileged to have been included!

Folksy June Loons and my First Sale!

It seems I joined Folksy at just the right time... I spotted a post on the forum about a listing club for June which meant listing one new item every day for the whole of June... just what I needed as a new shop and so I joined up!

The motivation and support has been amazing, especially thanks to Natalie, and within a few days I had made my first sale! Since then I've had 5 more :) I'm going to try joining the July Jesters for the beginning of July to carry on the motivation, but it kind of depends on when you know who decides to arrive!

A Whole Month of Catchup!

Oh dear, I really have left it a whole month! I am appalled that the last addition to my blog was way back in May (and I can't believe I was all ready for Baby to make his or her appearance then and we're STILL waiting!)!

OK, in short, at the beginning of June I decided to open a shop on Folksy as well as my Etsy shop, so there's my excuse! I have added a link to the left which should go straight to my new shop which is..... http://www.folksy.com/shops/HeloiseV Yes, I thought I'd stick with the same name seeing as I'm used to typing in HeloiseV now! So there we go, Heloisev is now in £ as well as $!

So what else has been going on in June........
