There are, of course, pre-designed kits for sale in my store. I expect that what I offer will change as I find new inspirations and discover which designs people appreciate the most. This one is modeled after my digital camera, a hobby I enjoy immensely and can't wait to get back to as soon as I'm healthy enough.

Twisting my brain into a knot trying to understand the new #GPSR rules. As a tiny business of one I don't really have the funds to employ someone in the EU as my representative. So currently I got to stop selling to Northern Ireland and the EU, until I figure out what to do and how to do it.
Its a pain, but everything sorts itself out, eventually. If you have any good links or tips, feel free to post them here!

BBC NewsNI trade: New rule to hit GB small businesses selling to NISome small businesses in Great Britain will stop selling to NI next month due to new EU product safety rules.

I've been having deep sad thoughts about being a business failure. Some people manage to amass huge followings and thus success with their products without really trying or even having a good product.

I'm super proud of what I make (clothes and accessories) and how I make it (salvaged fabrics, made ethically in sizes 8-32.) It just involves a lot of education and self promotion that I have little energy for after doing all the making of the things. I don't even think educating people on why they should spend more money on less clothing is very effective! After doing this for a couple of years I am coming to the conclusion that my demographic is financially comfortable people aged 25-55 with a punk aesthetic. It's not a huge demo!

If I had the energy and the resources I could take photos of people modelling my products! It just takes a lot of spoons that chronic illness robs from me.

I am a maker, I was born to make stuff for people - I don't want to make things that have a negative effect on people and planet. My brain threatens to give everything up but I know I wouldn't, I just keep finding a way to persevere.
