As of this week, you can now buy Miloamde goodies from Itch Gallery – a lovely exhibiting and selling gallery in Oakham (situated in Rutland – the smallest county in the UK). I found them on Facebook and got in touch. There was a bit of faffing on my part as I’m so busy at the moment, but I eventually got a few items together and posted them off with the paperwork.

A while ago I mentioned on Facebook that I was working on a new design for my website/blog/shop. I actually did the redesign in 2011, and it was my intention to get the new site up and running this year whilst I was on maternity leave. I can’t believe that it’s nearly half way through November and I’ve not got round to it yet. Anyway Expect some disruption on the site over the next couple of weeks while I get bits and bobs done here and there. I have to do the redesign in a few stages as the site, blog and shop are all separate entities – I’ve just made them look like they exist together – they actually don’t, so I’m tackling each bit a little at a time.

I’m stretching my Milomade wings and exploring ways to get my products noticed more online and in the process I discovered The Handmade Gift Guide – it’s the sister site to Shop Handmade UK which has been around for a while and is a directory with over 1300 UK makers listed on it – Milomade being one of them. I needed to change my details on this site and that’s what brought me to The Handmade Gift Guide.

Just a quick post to sing the praises of www.zibbet.com. I’ve only been a registered user for a few months and have only just got round to adding products to my shop, but I love the site. I have a Premium Account and with this can customise my shop, list as many items as I like, don’t have to pay any listing fees or have any commission taken off my sales. I can even create coupons and discount codes – something I will be taking advantage of soon. All this and there’s more in the pipeline too.
