Website up and running!

Well, on my last post I was having problems getting my new website launched.  After a number of emails to old supplier and new supplier I am happy to say we are all systems go on the new site.  I'm really pleased with the new look site and have received a number of orders since it's launch.  I have a promotion running to celebrate the new site.  You can get 20% of your whole order (excluding postage and packing) just by entering Launch14 at the checkout.

It's so much easier to use than the old site and the support is 500% better!!  I get to contact the same person every time so they know my site and what the issues are...............and they're based in the UK.

I've also manage to reach 850 'likes' on my Facebook page, so to celebrate this I'm having another giveaway.

I've added some new products to the website.  A very talented glass artist - Paul of Phoenix Glass has made me some fantastic sheep, owl and cupcake glass beads.  I have made some of them up into clip on charms.  The beads are individually handmade by Paul, so no 2 are ever the same.  Before my next post I hope to make up some of the cupcake beads.

Until then enjoy your crafting!

New website

Ooh dear - quite a while since my last post!!  Well it's been very busy here at Yarn & Craft studio and I even fitted in a couple of weeks holiday in India, an op to release my carpal tunnel in the hopes I get some feeling back in my hand.

The big project has been rebuilding my website - sounded simple but that wasn't the reality.  I started off with a new package from my existing supplier.  All went well until I started to upload the pictures - they didn't look good.  An email to the supplier and i was told my photos had to be square - does your camera take square photos - mine doesn't.  Changing the photos just distorted them - suppliers suggestion was to use a programme that made them square by adding large white borders.  Looked awful, but seemingly no other option available.  Next step search for new supplier!!

Quickly found a new supplier but had to start building the site from scratch again.  That done the process of transferring the domain name began - and that's where I am at now!!  A relatively simple process you might think - but not with an incompetent supplier - my new site is currently flipping from the old version to the new version - I am waiting for suppliers to contact me to get this sorted - not holding my breath that it's going to be anytime soon!!

Hopefully by the time I write my next blog I will be able to report that it's successfully up and running.

In the meantime I'll leave you with some pictures of the goodies available.

Have a great day whatever you're all up to.
