Today one of my team mates shared this useful tool with me.

As a seller I'd like to know how my customers found iLE AiYE, most of my online sales come from Etsy.com but sadly Etsy don't have a tool for customers to state how they found me.
WELL the good news is PAYPAL Does.

here's how to do it.
1) Login to your PayPal account
2) Under "my account" click "profile"
3) Under "selling preferences" click "custom payment pages", then
click "options" and go to "merchant service options"
4) Check "add a customer service survey" and fill in the blanks*
5) Make sure you click "SAVE" before you exit

Yes I'm liking this bag

Le Cabas - Leather Handles Tote in Orange and Natural Burlap - NEW

Ummm. I wonder if I could spoil myself to this, a perfect (for me) summer bag. it reminds me of a bag I had when I was much younger, I'm always a fan of yellow in the summer, and I like my bags to have a masculine touch, which I think this hints at, whilst still being ever so feminine.

a new YARN

Whilst this looks just like my other summer shrugs, believe me, the yarn is very different. this is a mix of super luxury mohair and silk, and when I say silk, i mean too, as soft as silk. this shrug falls over your skin like a soft warm breeze,

But you can't be multi-tasking whilst wearing this, NO....
Only suitable for romantic nights out,
Dinner and dances
sunny wedding, or christening invites, or similar special occasions,
The shrug is available in many different tones/shades I'm sure one of them will match your special dress.

Thank heavens for some warm sunshine





See what a little bit of warm sunshine can do, yesterday evening, I knitted up this lot, with anticipation of doing not very much today, other than spending the day in the sun.
Whilst some of the yarns arn't exactly summer friendly, i've been needing to knit up some of my single balls of yarn to clear up some space in my stash, so these little faux fur beauties flew off my needles last night, and as always with this design, I'm loving the results, They're incredibly soft, warm and stylish,
The pashmina shawl has been a work in progress since last summer, having spent all the winter months patiently waiting to be photographed, this morning I gave it some picture luv.

Grown up knitting

Today I'm mostly doing grown up knitting, I call it grown up, cause it's advanced kind of stuff, like, stitch markers, cabling, counting, circular needles -but knitting straight- lots of concentration, and hours upon hours of knitting which don't seem to make any difference in the growth of the garment.

I'm knitting a custom order, which if all goes well, will be a very lovely dark chocolate alpaca cardigan, The customer sent me the most yummy yarn to knit it, so I'm a little tense hoping my freestyle pattern will come out with the results we've discussed,

so if you don't see or hear from me for another week, Just look for a pile of chocolate alpaca threads, I'll be under there somewhere.
Pictures will follow.. later.
