We have so much to do in our busy world and so little time to get it all done in. And if you ahve a family, work and craft on the side then it often even more stressful.<br /><br />I am still learning, after becoming a little too stressed out, to sit back and take it a little easy. Not that I have slowed down. I am just trying to make the most of every minute I have. If I am sitting then I am knitting or gluing. I have a fab tray my hubby calls my grandma's tray. It has a cushion on the bottom so it means I can sit in the family room with everyone else and still glue things without getting it everywhere :)<br /><br />If I go out I try to do all my posting etc at the same time. And at work I am trying to work wiser!! Housework is done in a half hour flurry and what doesn't happen - doesn't happen!<br /><br />I still have my regular special treats as well which keeps stress at bay and take a fair few multivits to combat fatigue etc.<br /><br />So I guess the moral of the story is work wiser and if you need to tell yourself tomorrow is another day and the crafting, day job and housework will still be there - your job is to make sure you are too :)<br /><br />Happy Crafting :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-8703415250210603196?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356225775519314699noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-45979949445291524362011-07-26T09:33:00.001+12:002011-07-26T09:34:07.205+12:00I am always amazed at how fast life passes.

It has been unbelievably busy - what with work and keeping up with <a href="http://kazzalblue.com/">Kazzalblue</a> orders. Winter can be a busy season on its own and then it suddenly turns into Christmas and you have to change your focus all of a sudden!<br /><br />I am off to restock our NZ brick and mortar store in a few weeks and am trying to build up enough stock to take with me. But at the same time I have been busy with a very large order of toys. I had to work within a 2 week deadline and had a few very late (or early morning) nights. Amazing whats on tv after midnight! Anyway I hope to make my TV debut and may be allowed to tell you more about that at a later date - but not yet :(<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.kazzalblue.com/catalog.php?item=18"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ppoFPyLfuBM/TiDfkbrN2bI/AAAAAAAAA3o/t5AY3EquQ1Y/s400/P1010021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629745351210424754" border="0" /></a>I did manage to design a beanie to match the baby boots and will be putting this up on the <a href="http://kazzalblue.com/">website</a> soonish :)<br /><br />Now life has settled back to normal and I am on holiday for 2 weeks, I may be able to catch up on all that has been missed in the last few weeks. Starting with catching up on an U13 rugby game this morning. No hubby has fallen asleep again and I am contemplating a large pile of laundry versus grocery shopping.<br /><br />Hope to be here a bit more often now:)<br />Joy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-2818944132833430028?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356225775519314699noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-91831766218723611402011-06-18T21:44:00.004+12:002011-06-18T21:48:05.297+12:00Head over the facebook where we are having a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150296192615129.380350.144324370128">sale</a>.

It has been so cluttered lately it is hard to get anything done!<br /><br />Hubby found me a great storage unit he recycled from someone that was throwing it out and now I have been able to put away all the over flow from the shelves. Yeah! I might be able to find things again!<br /><br />I have even cleared my cutting table which is just as well with orders to get out for <a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/">Fabrics4u2</a> and <a href="http://kazzalblue.com/">Kazzalblue</a><br /><br />Lets hope this is trend I will continue!. On the other hand while I haven't been sewing I have been exercising! Zumba is my fun at the moment! I haven't missed a class in 4 weeks. I might keep you posted on that one too!<br /><br />Cheers<br />Joy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-5642563099733787855?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356225775519314699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-72794813196525056432011-01-29T11:09:00.010+13:002011-01-29T11:20:19.231+13:00<span class="UIStory_Message">It was great to meet up with our lovely guests and enjoy a glass of wine while everybody browsed the amazing items on offer last night. <a href="http://kazzalblue.com/">Kazzalblue</a>, <a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/">Fabrics4u2</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=497893468170&amp;set=a.96772343170.91330.48943358170&amp;theater#%21/alipinkbags?v=wall">Alipink</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=497893468170&amp;set=a.96772343170.91330.48943358170&amp;theater#%21/pages/I-Just-Love-That-Fabric/280945758798">I just Love That Fabric</a> were all there.<br /><br />Our Market @ Home will be open again today from 2-5pm if you would like to come along for a look.

Isnt it fun when big parcels get delivered to your door and you're not exactly sure what is in them. I wasnt expecting these parcels till November so it was like Christmas. Sammy even helped me unpack as the last time we got a box delivered like these there was a bag of lollies included.<br /><br />The boxes held my new order from the Riley Blake range called All Stars2. It is a great range useful for all sorts of things like quilts, clothes, cushions, furnishings, bags, the list just goes on and on.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/catalog.php?category=6&amp;page=all"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532517816064486114" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMdzpCQLKuI/AAAAAAAAANo/8027q8RgiGE/s200/productimage-picture-c7125-orange-all-star-2-mini-star-1473_t280%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/catalog.php?category=6&amp;page=all"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532517798366122226" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMdzoAUjkPI/AAAAAAAAANQ/cCf3VJepdlw/s200/c7123-orange-all-star-2-large-polka-dot-1467_t280%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/catalog.php?category=6&amp;page=all"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532517806858185650" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMdzof9OK7I/AAAAAAAAANY/dXzlT_VEElE/s200/productimage-picture-c7120-green-all-star-2-main-stars-1459_t280%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/catalog.php?category=6&amp;page=all"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532517795124600162" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMdzn0Pt3WI/AAAAAAAAANI/xjoy21nZ9uA/s200/productimage-picture-c7121-blue-all-star-2-paisley-1460_t280%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://fabrics4u2.com.au/catalog.php?category=6&amp;page=all"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532517813419266082" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMdzo4ZgUCI/AAAAAAAAANg/-GTs2zWk04k/s200/productimage-picture-c7122-orange-all-star-2-bullseye-star-1464_t280%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMd29VMFQTI/AAAAAAAAANw/FIYp74STQAk/s1600/c7123-green-all-star-2-large-polka-dot-1468_t280%5B1%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532521463279862066" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/TMd29VMFQTI/AAAAAAAAANw/FIYp74STQAk/s200/c7123-green-all-star-2-large-polka-dot-1468_t280%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />There are 24 fabrics in the range. 8 of each design in 3 different colourways that all mix and match. This is just a few of my favourites but the whole range can be seen on the website at <a href="http://www.fabrics4u2.com.au/">http://www.fabrics4u2.com.au/</a><br /><br /><br /><br />You can also keep up to date with sales and specials here or on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/fabrics4u2">facebook</a> . Fabrics4u2 run daily deals on facebook which run from the time of release in the morning (after my morning coffee has sunk in and I can type) through to midnight AEST. The deal is on a fabric or sometimes a range of fabrics of my choice and is usually a great discounted price on a yard of fabric. We post worldwide and I think I live at the post office some days. If you follow on facebook you can also take advantage of the great sales I have planned.<br /><br /><br /><br />I am expecting more gorgeous fabrics for girls to arrive shortly so will post about those when they all come in. I can tell you they involve mouth watering cupcakes!<br /><br /><br /><br />Yummy!<br /><br />Karen<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-5707158759475453800?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17252311262308656659noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-15545446902941353422010-10-13T07:21:00.004+13:002010-10-13T07:27:55.176+13:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.newzealandhandmade.co.nz/2010/10/new-zealand-handmade-christmas-ornament.html"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TLSoBtlSEMI/AAAAAAAAAks/YkXV1JNYDrI/s400/santa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527227390059745474" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div>It is nearly that time of the year again and to start the ball rolling the team at <a href="http://www.newzealandhandmade.co.nz/">New Zealand Handmade</a> have organised a <a href="http://www.newzealandhandmade.co.nz/2010/10/new-zealand-handmade-christmas-ornament.html">Christmas Ornament Swap</a>!<br /><br />To join in the fun and swap a gorgeous Christmas tree decoration with another person from somewhere else in our online world go to the site and follow the instructions.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.newzealandhandmade.co.nz/2010/10/new-zealand-handmade-christmas-ornament.html"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TLSoB6lcojI/AAAAAAAAAk0/TXryDL4oxME/s400/crochet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527227393550098994" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><br />Entries close on Saturday 24th October - so be in quick!

Boys love to draw so a crayon or pencil wallet will keep them entertained on those trips in the car and if its a practical gift you want then these woollen boots are great - they really truly stay on!! Tested and proven on my own nephew who try as he might pulled and pulled and still could not get them off .... much to his obvious disgust!<br /><br />There is lots more listed in store so do drop by!

A chance to thank our Dads for all they have done and continue to do for us. As a parent I have come to the conclusion that our children never really leave home – only for short stints at a time and they constantly boomerang back again with needs and desires they need help to fulfil. I'm sure it was like that for my Dad too. There was never anything he could not build, mend or lend to help us out ….. even after I left home and had kids of my own.<br /><br /></span><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"> </p><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"> </div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"> </div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:100%;">A nice dinner with everyone is usually how we celebrate the day … no more breakfasts in bed!

You have probably all realised I am back at work as the regular posts came to a sudden halt (and Karen is hopeless at blogging!). So in order to be prepared and productive I have to plan ahead. Unfortunately we have had beautiful weather here in Hawke's Bay which is great for getting out in but terrible for staying in and getting lots done. And I have a new boss so have been staying at work longer!<br /><br />This weekend my plan is to<br />1. Tidy my working space! Essential if I plan on doing anything else at all!<br />2. Finish the 5 toy dinosaurs which have lain on my work table since March<br />3. Attend the next coffee meeting of the <a href="http://www.newzealandhandmade.co.nz/">New Zealand Handmade</a> group - thats easy cos its at my place!<br />4. Glue finger puppets together - they are all sewn up and waiting!<br />5. Peruse some books for new ideas and maybe go to look in the library<br />6. List at least 5 new auctions in my <a href="http://www.felt.co.nz/browse/user/lovelythings">online felt store</a><br />7. List at least 2 new auctions on my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kazzalblue">Etsy shop</a><br />8. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?ref=ts">Facebook</a> a little! Instead of a lot!<br />9. <a href="http://twitter.com/jazzal">Tweet</a> a little!<br /><br />I don't think I will fit anything else in so please wish me luck! I really want to have a busy weekend and cross everything off my list.<br /><br />I may need some words of encouragement every now and then to keep me going - Like ....... "GET OFF THE COMPUTER JOY ..... AND GO SEW!"<br />I will appreciate the honesty! I promise! Lol!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.madeit.com.au/detail.asp?id=97773"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TFEvpLnAmkI/AAAAAAAAAdk/qp3vXfJBzZM/s320/e90a7a552D60e72D49dc2Dbc332D79d6051bc440snack1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499229004533635650" border="0" /></a><br />Just thought I'd add a pic of these little reusable lunch packs. They have become very popular lately with schools doing their best to get rid of gladwrap. They are easily rinsed in fresh water and hung to dry ready for reusing the next day. they velcro right across the top so you can even put chippies and twisties and things like that into them.

That meant promoting yourself to the world. Countries are closer than they have ever been. You can skype a friend across the other side of the world and feel as near as you would to your next door neighbour. The boundaries of distance no longer apply in an online world. And with this comes the opportunity to broaden your market!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.kazzalblue.etsy.com/"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgMWwJZihI/AAAAAAAAAYs/3r03Icd_i-I/s320/kazzaavartar.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492153330599299602" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So Kazzalblue set up a page on Facebook. Facebook is one of the top social media sites in the world. Millions of people use it daily and you would be surprised for how long each day! This meant we could now promote our baby and childrens wares to a much larger market.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 205px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDghUC3b-EI/AAAAAAAAAZs/BLPkxTLZ6uY/s400/Capture.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492176373828810818" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Tags - Facebook allows us to promote our shop and shops of others in a reciprocal environment.<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Always type @straight before the shopname - this will make it into a tag</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> </span>which appears on the other sellers shop page as well as your page. Your name will be there too which means more people will see it.<br /><br />Tabs - Along the top of your shop page you can set up various tabs. Facebook allows you to have a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?v=app_169505045786">My Etsy Tab</a> and a My Felt Shop Tab. Kazzalblue also has a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?v=app_135607783795">Shop Now</a> tab. So if you want to set up these tabs here is what to do.<br /><br />I always find the easiest way to set up the tabs I want is to go and look at someone elses page first. There is generally a link I can use to short cut the process. In this case go to my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?v=app_169505045786">My Etsy</a> tab and there is a link. You can see it on the right hand side in blue font in the pic below. It says "Want your Etsy Shop and Favourites on Facebook? Click here to get started" Sounds like a great place to start - right!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/44576649/black-and-grey-woollen-baby-boots"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 272px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgQczQHa6I/AAAAAAAAAY8/mjU5FpwAuMs/s320/my+etsy+tab.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492157832558504866" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br />Now in order to set up the Shop Now tab, which virtually gives you an online shop complete with a shopping cart, you go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?v=app_135607783795">this page</a> ( see below). Scroll down to the link at the very bottom called Payvment. Click on that and it takes you through the set up for Shop Now. You do need to have a Paypal account to operate it first though. But if you haven't then it will take you through this process as well.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/45295443/the-wiggles-handknitted-finger-puppets"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 217px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgRzEwXqTI/AAAAAAAAAZE/hfu4aVeiX7A/s400/payvment.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492159314725939506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I've tried to show you the easy way of doing things but believe me it does not always work out this way. I have spent hours fiddling with html codes and redoing what I thought I had done in the first place to get things to work. I think one of the things I absolutely love about facebook is it does some of the hardwork for you.<br /><br />Badges - You can make a badge to display on your blog. Just go to 'edit page', under your avatar, then scroll to the bottom and click on 'get your badge'. This will give you several options of using your avatar. You can have a play with various styles before saving the edit you have done and choosing 'where you want to add the badge'. Mine is on my blog. <a href="http://kraftybiz.blogspot.com/">Take a look</a>. Once there it automatically takes those who click on it back to your facebook page!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgUGot0bfI/AAAAAAAAAZU/0NNojPuqbx8/s1600/badge.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 248px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgUGot0bfI/AAAAAAAAAZU/0NNojPuqbx8/s400/badge.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492161849819688434" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Usernames - The other thing you can do, once you have 25+ followers on your facebook page, is choose your own user name for your page. Just go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/username/"><span>www.facebook.com/username</span></a><br />and click on <a onclick="username_show_pages()">'Set a username</a> for your Pages'. You can check out whether your name is available or not BUT remember once you change it, you're stuck with it for good! You can't change your mind later!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgjy3xu4aI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/UYZ9sepGyYU/s1600/username.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 59px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgjy3xu4aI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/UYZ9sepGyYU/s400/username.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492179102451294626" border="0" /></a><br /></div></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Twittering - I have set up my Facebook page to automatically load posts onto Twitter. It takes anything I post onto my Kazzalblue page and sends it straight to twitter. Very handy not having to do 2 posts. Just go to <img src="file:///C:/Users/owner/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Users/owner/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/twitter/">www.facebook.com/twitter/</a> to set this up. It should look similar to the partial screen shot below. Course you will need a twitter account!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgdMdP9YYI/AAAAAAAAAZk/tAVlixwwj-U/s1600/twitter+link.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 112px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TDgdMdP9YYI/AAAAAAAAAZk/tAVlixwwj-U/s400/twitter+link.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492171845425521026" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I hope these tips have helped you get a better idea of how Facebook can help you in your online marketing just like it helped us at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kazzalblue">Kazzalblue</a>. This is just the tip of the iceberg but it will get you started.<br /><br />Joy<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/username/"><span></span></a></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-3211260117917837872?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356225775519314699noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-68900842579522816112010-07-07T15:01:00.004+12:002010-07-07T15:10:34.290+12:00<div style="text-align: center;">I am soooo lucky!

I haven't had a chance to get down there lately and although it was only 2 days I did get the chance to visit a few friends at the same time.<br /><br />Kazzalblue have stock in a lovely Art Gallery in Yarra Glen called Hidden Talent. They stock a variety of items from local artists and creaters. It is a lovely place to go for a drive and stop for a coffee and a wander.<br /><br />We also have stock in a craft gallery in Ringwood. A wealth of talented people are represented at the store and it has turned into a real craft community.<br /><br />The hard part with these trips is preparing the stock. I have piles in my workroom where I have half finished things but then moved on to something else and not quite finished anything. When it comes time to send stock off I have to quickly focus on the small piles and finish things off based on priority. Some things inevitably do not get finished and may not be finished even for the next trip in July.<br /><br />I have had a week off and today for the first time today since I got back thought I might venture into the workroom to see what piles I had left. I have quite a few! and so I am off back to work now to make a new half finished pile.<br /><br />Have a great week everyone<br />Karen</div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-8184104890592658063?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17252311262308656659noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-36116505907519220822010-06-13T09:01:00.004+12:002010-06-13T09:27:28.632+12:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TBP3zOGgh4I/AAAAAAAAAVo/HNTFbdKDSL0/s1600/Garden.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TBP3zOGgh4I/AAAAAAAAAVo/HNTFbdKDSL0/s400/Garden.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481997630770808706" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I found this interesting linky tool while reading other blogs and thought I'd give it a go.<br />The topic is<br />"FABULOUS CRAFTY BLOGS"<br /><br />Just add your link and then copy the code below and add it to your page and the same links will appear on your blog allowing followers to hop about between our blogs.<br /></div><br />Add your link here:<br /><script src="http://www.linkytools.com/basic_linky_include.aspx?id=31155" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-3611650590751922082?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356225775519314699noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-48241496147886456472010-06-11T23:53:00.004+12:002010-06-11T23:59:28.464+12:00<div style="text-align: center;">Tonight the new New Zealand Handmade blog went live with its first post ever.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.newzealandhandmade.co.nz/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 101px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/TBIkpfktJmI/AAAAAAAAAVg/X1SaApPE390/s400/31067_123618317673868_119025698133130_116782_2587326_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481483991732004450" border="0" /></a><br /><br />New Zealand Handmade supports craftspeople designing and producing NZ made, quality goods.

Hope you like it too!<br /><br /><!-- Begin felt showcase --><!-- Pair of tapered red and white striped candles --><div style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 13px 13px; float: left; font-size: 11px; line-height: 17px;

Like everyone I expect it doesn't always turn out how you expect it should, however I did find a new application to play with lately and I think has come out quite well.<br /><br />I am talking about promoting <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kazzalblue">Kazzalblue</a> on Facebook. There is a newish (depends on how fast I was to notice it) application which allows you to set up your own online shopping cart on facebook. I gave it a go and am proud to say I got it to work!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?v=app_135607783795&amp;ref=ts"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 367px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x_mPKFiz6KI/S-4vE4stDoI/AAAAAAAAAUo/MHN9l37_5gE/s400/facebook+shop.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471362358287601282" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Now both <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue">Kazzalblue</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/fabrics4u2">Fabrics4u2</a> have a shopping cart and you can shop direct. Just click on the Shop Now button on the facebook pages or click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kazzalblue?v=app_135607783795&amp;ref=ts">here for Kazzalblue</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/fabrics4u2?v=app_135607783795">here for Fabrics4u2</a> and it will take you straight there. Once you go to 'check out' the page will take you to a high security site where you can enter your paypal details and hey presto your purchase will be winging its way to you within 2 working days.<br /><br />We would also love it if you became fans of our pages because we have set them up to offer all fans a discount on all their purchases. Just click on an item to find out how much you get off the price.<br /><br />Happy Shopping!<br />Joy<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8454949374684292285-911788819016995781?l=kraftybiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jazzalbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13356225775519314699noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454949374684292285.post-90442491991511392642010-05-10T19:57:00.005+12:002010-05-10T20:16:25.309+12:00<p align="center"><a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/Kazzalblue"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469550983711711490" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/S-e_pAkGYQI/AAAAAAAAAHI/gXtkbm1h0tY/s320/100_4947%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p><br />I know I have posted this photo on my blog not that long ago but I thought I would tell everyone how my testing went of my dishcloth that I made.<br /><br />I was a little skeptical about how the new dishcloth would go seeing as I had actually made it. When I got home from holiday in NZ I showed everyone at home my new hobby and what I had made and had to tell them what it was. Some thought it was a doily, a hanky etc. Remember they are boys and really don't care!<br /><br />Anyway I finally sewed the ends in the other night and gave it to the boys to wash the dishes. It worked really well. It was the perfect size and thickness and cleaned well.<br /><br />I love the fact that it is cotton and handmade and can be washed and washed and washed. I love the fact that I made it and it doesnt get thrown out after a few days of dishwashing like a disposable cloth from the supermarket. In my books that nearly makes it organic although I can't guarantee the cotton was 100% organic.<br /><br />I have decided that I am going to add these little wonders to my store as I really support organic, handmade reusable items, so very shortly you will be able to purchase one of these lovelies in any of our online stores.<br /><br />If you love handmade reusable items you should check out our <a href="http://www.kazzalblue.etsy.com/">kazzablue</a> store.

It is nice to be home after spending over a month away from my family. It was also nice to catch up with my sister and her family and for once it wasnt a rush here rush there catch up as there was heaps of time.<br /><br />While I was in NZ it was a great chance for us both to go on a road trip to see all our stockists and see how things were going. Its always nice to catch up and see what stock is going well and what is past its time. We stayed away for a few days and on the way home from up North took in some sightseeing in Rotorua. The Rotorua Museum is a great place to visit. I love the old history of the bath house and blue pools.<br /><br /><br />We also found time to call on a new stockist which was really good because I am usually not around to do that in NZ. My job is usually the Australian side of the Tasman.<br /><br /><br />In the end it was well worth while so keep an eye out for the <a href="http://kazzalblue.etsy.com/">Kazzalblue</a> brand.<br /><br /><br />During the rest of my visit I got the chance to meet all the lovely ladies from the Hawkes Bay Etsy team. Keep an eye out for updates on this team as Joy is a member and they have some great things planned to increase the profile of "handmade" in the Hawkes Bay. It was great to catch up for morning tea with them all and get to see a sample of all the gorgeous things they all make. They are all so clever.<br /><br />Since I have arrived home I have had to do the worst part of my trip. UNPACK. I brought a few little tiny things, really.... and now I have to find a home for them all. I actually had to move my sewing room around to fit them in but I am getting there.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/storecatalog.asp?userid=981"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466917730601141714" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Uuc2cpVNM/S95ktgTEBdI/AAAAAAAAAGo/OrYkCftUwUM/s320/lots+boots.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />To finish I thought I might just put up this photo of our baby boots.
