Good evening / good afternoon / good morning and welcome to my first blog post of 2025. With all the uncertainty with social media right now, I've decided to write more blog posts this year. I'll still be posting on twitter, bluesky and also now Threads but my blog will be a central place for me to post news and behind the scenes stuff, so that it's all in one place. So, here are some things I'd like to share with you.
*** Important Shop News ***
Due to the new GPSR rules and the cost it involves, I can no longer sell to Northern Ireland (as well as the EU). This means that I cannot currently list new items created after 13th December on Etsy until a workaround has been put in place to separate NI from the rest of the UK for shipping (I've heard it will start to roll out at the end of February but I'll let you know if it changes). This includes my patterns.
In the mean time, all of the items currently listed in my Etsy shop (from before 13th December) are in stock and ready to ship.
If you are outside of Northern Ireland and the EU and would like to purchase something that's out of stock, please check my Sold page, contact me and I'll create a listing for you.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
So which marketplace shop am I focusing on for the next few months? Well, I've decided to move my made to order and new items to my Folksy shop. The shipping locations have already been split so I can continue selling on there. I'm also working on adding listings on my own website.
I'll be writing a blog post soon with a full list of my online shops.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience whilst I move around my listings.
More updates tomorrow,
