Scarey Thought, Starting Out....

Oh struth, what have I done................only opened up a store, am I mad?
Gone off my head? or have I just sparked upon a great idea. Time will tell. I'm going to have great fun whilst I give it my all, that's for sure.

Friends are going say 'Thats it, you've finally lost the plot - you're a nurse for goodness sake, not a business woman. What on earth are you doing' and I could probably agree with them if I sat down long enough to think about it! But I'm not nursing anymore, I'm retired and twiddling my fingers on a daily basis; sheesh there's only so much housework and daytime TV a woman can take before seriously cracking up.

That's not to say I'm rushing into this blind, now that really would be crazy, but I got this idea in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, talked to many people (oh god, including the bank and tax office..), and I've been buzzing since. Talk about a cure for the depression thats afflicted me for over a year, so much for prescribed medicine...

Anyway, I've made a great start thanks to Etsy.com, the site which only accepts 'Hand Made' Brilliant idea!
