Back on the road to recovery... and new Kindle cases...

My goodness, it's been an absolute age since I blogged! The main reasons have been that I was first of all so swamped with orders for my handmade Kindle sleeves, I had no time at all to do anything but sew;  then illness struck, forcing me to close BaggieAggie.com for almost three months.  But I'm slowly getting back in the groove, and here you can see a couple of examples of new Kindle / Kobo cases recently listed. I'll be busy making more in the next few days, to catch up with demand for covers for the brand new Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G, released in the UK by Amazon only last week. Some gorgeous new fabrics arrived on Friday, and I can't wait to get started!

I'm building a website...!

Yes, you read that right! In fact, I'll repeat it for all those in denial: severely technically-challenged little old me is building a website. The platform is Weebly, and I have to say it's a darn sight easier to use than Wix (which I gave up on after a couple of hair-tearing days!).

Having said that, I did have a hair-tearing morning yesterday. I bought a domain name (after reading somewhere that Weebly addresses don't float to anywhere near the top in searches) so that I could change my URL and lose the 'weebly' bit. Weebly have brilliant instructions on how to 'point' the new domain at their site, but their sample screenshots bore little relation to my domain registrar's. So, rather than run the risk of destroying the entire internet with my ineptitude, I begged the registrar to do the pointing for me. Which they did, thank goodness, so I'm now www.baggieaggie.com. There's lots to do and change still, but I'm getting there!

In the meantime, I've struggled to get any new items made, but yesterday afternoon I managed to list this Kindle case with an African flavour. I love this fabric. If you do too, and you fancy something other than a Kindle case, just ask. :)

BaggieAggietoo: Blog feature and interview!

I'm thrilled to announce that my interview with the lovely Becky of Red Bird Supplies has been published today on her excellent blog right here. If you can pop over for a quick read, Becky makes gorgeous jewellery, so do make time to check out her shop links while you're there. :)

A Return to Normal Life and other stuff...

It's spring, the weather is glorious; and after a very difficult ten months, life is slowly getting back to normal. OH is back at work full-time, though still having to take time out for two hours of physio each day, and we're almost on top of the gardening. Well, the back garden at least - we're still having to employ a gardener to keep the front tidy, but hopefully for not too much longer. We may even be able to let the cleaner go next month.

The bathroom renovation (after the storm-damaged roof and collapsed bathroom ceiling episode) will be on hold for a while. We'd planned to get it done late last autumn, but the need for OH to have a second operation has meant a temporary delay.

Despite all the catching up we've had to do, I've somehow managed to make and launch a range of Kindle cases. All in gorgeous fabrics, like the example pictured here, and all padded and fully lined. Available on my website, so do take a peek and let me know what you think. :)
