    I'd recommend using as many free social apps to promote your shop as possible. For me the most successful ones from driving traffic to my shop are facebook and twitter.

    Yep having the same issue and I'm only able to say that based on the title of this post as the comments box has completely obscured the previous comment. I had the same problem yesterday too.

    It may be that you are more of an introvert. It took me a long time to realise this about myself and understand that its okay. I think the thing to work on is your self confidence so that you feel okay with being who you are and feel able to deal with social situations when you need to. I've worked the past 12 years as a mental health support worker and mostly work with young people. What seems to help is finding something you enjoy doing and finding somewhere you can do that with others. When you have a focus, especially something practical conversation comes more easily and naturally as you have a common thing you're working on and to talk about. Maybe something like some voluntary work with a local charity (maybe with animals) or a sport. Also one of my clients says walking her dog helps her with her anxiety and shyness as she says she feels more confident with her dog by her side and people come over every so often to ask about her dog and to stroke him.

    You try using this tutorial by Carly from Chic Steals http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/sexy-bustier-dress - you could pick up a cheap shirt second hand and then make carousel separately using foam sheets and toy horses painted with acrylic paint.

    I hope mine got there okay too. I posted it just over 2 weeks ago and I think it usually takes about 10 days to get to the US from the UK.

    You could also try the trick of using an old tea towel and an iron. You basically iron the stained bits with a tea towel over the stain and the heat melts the wax and the towel soaks it up. I think you can use brown paper too. Also chalk is also meant to be good for oily stains. You apparently rub it over the area thats stained and then bung it in the wash. If any of the items are just plain white you could also use some diluted sterilising fluid.

    Thank you. I'm starting to think that going somewhere else might be a good idea but it feels sad because they used to be really good. Its just that the last three months they have lost my prescription. I think I'd have been okay if they'd held there hands up and showed some concern about fixing the problem but the pharmacists comments really pissed me off. I even told him that the medication is for anxiety and these cock ups are causing me loads more anxiety.

    I think mine is probably shocking pink. I don't like wearing loads of it but I love it with black. I love that it feels girly and feminine but strong and can't be ignored Happy

    I love using my ipod for crafting. I normally open my pinterest ap and look through ideas i've pinned.

    Sammantha - I've been meaning to listen to Amanda Palmer as I've heard about her and so glad I did Happy I've just been watching her TED talk and felt so inspired that I then started listening to her.

    I saw the nail piercing tutorial appear a few days ago and just assumed it was you as you'd posted here that you were going to do one.

    There was a seed swapping thread on the Eco/Green board for a while. It was probably a few years back. The only thing to watch for with swapping seeds is to check the country your sending tos customs regulations. I remember Australia being tight on things like seeds and I'm sure its not the only one.

    EDIT - found the thread - http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/board/home/green/2691-the-ongoing-seed-swap - it was last posted on about 3 years ago so you may want to start a new one.
