U-handblog

To PDf or not to PDf that is the question

Since the stooooopid VATMOSS nonsense (which led to my shutting down my PDF patterns store) I have gotten squa-jillions of emails from folks asking me if I will open up the patterns site again.

I can see why:

• You don't want to wait
• You want to pay less
• It saves on paper

 

As you know I don't have the brain cells or resources to do all of the necessary VATmoss admin (and I do not want to apply for VAtmoss) so the only way I could re-open the pattern site is to block patterns sales to EU member countries.   Sales to UK and rest of world countries would not be affected.  Blocking sales to certain countries goes against the grain for me, but I can't ignore all of your 'I want the patterns site to come back' emails.

If I reopen the site there will be:

• all of my U-Handbag patterns (costing at least a £1 less than my paper versions)
• ever increasing range of patterns from other pattern designers
• instant automatic delivery after payment

So can I ask, what do you think?  Should we reopen the site?  Thanks for letting me know!  

No ifs, no buts, you are beautiful.

It doesn't matter that this film is an ad, the message is very powerful and worth watching to the very end.

Set a good example to us all - please choose 'Beautiful' every single time.

That (in the media) beauty is an expression of what is on the outside and what we may wear is tedious and dangerous.  Worrying about how we look distracts us from far more important things such as fulfilling our potential and simply being content.  Life is so precious and much too short to be obsessing about wrinkles and body parts.  

Tell everyone around you (especially yourself and your children) that you/they are beautiful in countless ways - FULL STOP.  

Just be happy! X
