I’ve just done another update at RED INSTEAD handmade, my indie boutique. I love how these photos turned out - jewellery is hard to photograph! After much effort, I was happy with the results:

And a few new hobo bags too:

Hey do you like the blog redesign? Or maybe you are on bloglines and can’t see it. Oh well, it looks pretty, trust me.

It’s almost time for the kids to go back to school after about 6 weeks of Summer holidays and I have to admit it will be nice to have a quieter house, at least for most of the day. It has been good though - I do love seeing more of Sam and Jack. Although Sam (14) used the “b” word (I’m bored) way too many times.

I have been keeping very busy with Red Instead stuff - tweaking the newly redesigned shop site and making, photographing and adding products, as well as adding behind the scenes stuff to make it work better.

I have also decided to move the bags over from the Red Instead Bags site and keep everything in together. It just makes sense, especially from an admin and organisation point. Running two ecommerce sites each with their own customers, advertising etc etc just doesn’t make sense. So it now comes under the one banner - RED INSTEAD handmade.

I hope nobody minds hearing about business stuff but really it’s pretty much all I’ve been thinking about lately. So you know what I am talking about, here are a few new items that have recently been added:
