    But if she makes cheap stuff she'll have to compete with Asian companies that employ six year olds to make a thousand times as many cheap things at a tenth of the price. She should go exclusive and upmarket.

      I know but have you ever tried telling your wife anything.

      She thinks she can sell at craft fairs and stuff but she needs to attend a few and see what the prices really are
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Normally they are really expensive.

            Get her on Etsy and Folksy. Avoid MISI and Artfire.

            When she has an online presence, send me the details and I'll pass them onto my wife's blog of crafty things, which gets quite a few daily hits. (I'd have a number, but just realised that I uninstalled the stats plugin by mistake this week!)

              Argh, spent the whole morning fannying about, reading about the Champions League draw tonight and generally not working. Now I've got a couple of hours to do everything that I wanted to get done today.

              So, of course I thought I'd come on here and post about it rather than trying to rectify the situation

                Although I'm reading online porn instead.

                  Annoyingly, because the permies are all off today, I should have got loads done as there was no one to distract me.

                  I failed to take into account my ability to distract myself

                    When writing 2 independent items that are dependent on each other its best to check both still work when you've made changes to one of them at the last second of a sprint.

                    oops.
