Today I got an email from Amy Butler personally which was in reply to an email that I sent replying to an email that she sent (follow the saga here). It doesn’t look like she’s going to change her mind about continuing the relationship with my business so I don’t know what to do. With [...]

I’m so upset this morning. Last week I had an email from Amy Butler (pattern maker and fabric designer, read more here), with some bad news for me. My company has been ordering patterns from her company for over 3 years and in the email she says she will no longer accept orders direct from [...]

The event was held at the Sofitel on Phillip Street here in Sydney on the 20th of the November. Tim came with me, he kept referring to it as a ’sympathy date’ but I think he was reasonably interested. Well anyway, as I mentioned in my previous post, he has been living and breathing (and [...]

I spent all of this weekend preparing for the
Stitches & Craft Show that my company will be exhibiting at in August. I have been preparing on and off for the past 4 or 5 weeks. The show is close approaching and in between now and then we still have to find another rental house to [...]
