HURRAH!

We have a working internet connection!

At last!

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

*Does happy dance*

To celebrate my return to the 21st century, I'm having a mini SECRET sale in my Etsy shop for 24hours. UPDATE: sale has now ended!

Counting Down the Days

We've made the switch to a new internet supplier after WEEKS of no internet and terrible customer service from our old supplier they've finally given us the code we need to make the switch and our new modem etc is in the post! Hurrah!

In the meantime please buy lots of things from my shop to cheer me up, haha :P

No, seriously, in the meantime check out these excellent visual treats from Etsy...

Awesome teacups and cake stands decorated with amazing and whimsical illustrations from EstherCoombs. Quirky pictures by laurennassef - I particularly love the collectors with their thought clouds brimming with their obsessive collections. Sweet tea-themed pictures by whatkatydoes and jenskelley. Oh, and great teatowels (I do like a nice teatowel) featuring buttons and dishes from new find annabelwaterman and old favourite showpony.

Time Travelling

The internet drought continues. Yawn.

We're also properly feeling the lack of our television - we gave it up a while ago but continued to watch lots of stuff on the internet and I listen to loads of digital radio. All in all it feels a little like going back in time...

With all my newfound free time I have been being crafty but also baking, reading Jeeves & Wooster novels, and lazing around in the sunshine thanks to a lovely heatwave. We've also been having adventures, thanks to some BBC filming locally. That's me on the right... swoon...

In the meantime...

I'm still stuck without the internet for 99% of my day (sob!) but I just wanted to mention that there's an interview with me over on IndieFixx today, hurrah!

I am rather pining for the pretty colours and fantastic inspiration offered by lovely design blogs like IndieFixx... particularly Poppytalk (and so many of the great blogs linked to on there) and (my current favourite) Print & Pattern - always so much lush stuff to look at, and so much colour! I may have to go out and buy a glossy magazine to tide me over, but it just won't be the same...

Back Next Month

Aaaargh! My broadband provider has informed me that I'm getting my connection back in MAY.
I am trying to work out some wireless piggybacking off my neighbours connections but it's quite likely that I won't be blogging again until next month :(

I'll still be sending out orders from Etsy etc, and will try to reply to messages as quickly as possible. Be sure to check back in May for a big update on what I've been up to, and for lots of new items in the shop :)

Problems

I'm having a few problems with my internet connection. Nothing too drastic and hopefully back to normal soon, but I am taking this as an opportunity to turn the computer off for a bit and make some stuff! :)
