Another hot day!

 Last night's sunset. Every one a beauty at present.
One good thing about buying online...free packing for the next order out!
 Two orders posted today, a wee red jug to Glasgow and a drawing to London.
This is the latest addition to Etsy.
I must get my website ticking over properly.
Brother has sorted it to make it easier..word press made it far too complicated!!  If I can get sales through that and the dreaded fb as well as this blog, a little from everywhere it will be good.
Etsy make it easier, but like any shop they do take a chunk of the sale...fair enough, they do provide a service.

It is hot again today, so like yesterday indoors or in the shade now, and do things outside earlier and later.
We rethought the bed planting yesterday and decided that all the brassicas go in the new bed with a finer mesh over them to keep the cabbage white butterflies off...and also the leek moth as I think that that has reached this far north .

Posting

The cat has gone! It will be on its way to Arizona tomorrow.
Today's postcard...
And another tomorrow.

A bits and bobs day today.  The regular hot sheets and towels wash...and most ready for ironing..
Keeping an eye on the polytunnel...more needs to be moved on and out into beds and more seeds that I had almost given up on are germinating!
The netting is now over and across one end of the fruit cage. The wind got up just as I was about to do the last end! There seems to be some large gusts coming through every day after 5.30 pm until about 6.30...we are only ten miles from the sea as the crow flies, so possibly something to do with offshore and onshore winds.
Pirate is carrying on with the sorting and tidying, most successfully.
Now there is just yoghurt to start before bedtime..

New venture drawings and selling

Here is the first postcard drawing, on heavy cartridge paper...I am selling them unmounted and unframed, to keep the postage down. Also purchasers can choose their own frames and mounts.
Original, unique, no extra postage.
I will be putting more in the Etsy shop every day and hope to add ceramics as well.
I have just sold some small saltglaze pots and they will be off on their way to the USA soon.
Cotton reel just for size of course!!
