Ch-ch-ch-changes

To quote Bowie there are ch-ch-ch-changes afoot here. I'm revamping and relaunching after feeling too many shops and brands are not so good for production and sometimes just add to confusion instead of taking away from it. There will be growing pains and it's going to be bumpy but I really do think it's for the better. After missing Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday this year, I've had some time to think on things and I really feel this will be a better fit for all of us.

I'll keep you posted as it happens, but for now I'll let you in on http://www.twitter.com/MagpieMuddles and http://www.facebook.com/MagpieMuddles also on Instagram as @MagpieMuddles (and yes that's the new identity). The shops will reopen as new identities shortly. Sorry for any confusion.

News

So I just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm taking this week off for surgery. I'm hoping to be able to do some stuff by next week (the week beginning November 9th). I'll keep you posted Twitter. Sorry for the forced break!

Halloween

And this is what happens at Halloween...just simple decorations, LOL.

Pondering

Hello all!

Just popping in to say hi. I've got a few new creations photoed and ready to go but I'm having some debate about the shops. I've been thinking about a move for a while now but I'm not firm on where I want to take it. I'd hate to list and then move but it's also not good having things ready and sitting either. I promise I'll make a decision very soon and keep you posted no matter.

So, that post I promised you.....

Guess I'd better get to it LOL.

So, big changes are afoot, bigger than I'd originally had to tell you when I'd promised the post. So, the short version is that it shouldn't have any effect on the production for either Bon Bon Betties or Betwixt Baubles, it in fact should help to keep me on track. The delays you've been seeing have had nothing to do with any of these other things. I'd like to make excuses but honestly it's been all on me getting ideas into actual form.
So you guys knew about my gaming broadcasts 4 nights a week on Twitch with archives to YouTube. I kinda went off and started another blog devoted to paranormal because of a picture I saw and a tumblr post I wrote. No, I'm never going to share that because my tumblr is random and something I don't share, I will however happily tell you about Parapopulous.
So seeing that it's paranormal based I understand it might not be your thing but I wanted to let you all know because I'm proud of it (just like all the other things I do). As always my links and info will be on the right if you're interested but you're not required to take notice. I know this blog is supposed to be exclusive to the OOAK shops and recently they've been taken over by news about other things, but I think it's important to keep you in the loop.
See the thing is all I was originally going to tell you was the blog existed but since then, well there's a few developments. The blog has turned into a podcast and now it's going to be on iTunes ! The original thing as well was to let you know my blogs are both available through Bloglovin'. And now with that info out to you, I'm going to go post a few links for those of you who might be interested and get a wee bit more work in on some pieces before the stream tonight.

au revoir

P.S. I've also reconnected with Clayamies so there may be some pretty ornaments to share this winter holiday season.

Just ignore this as I bumble through with the promise I'll be updating you before the weekend is done.

Thoughts

I'm just gonna jump right into this. I feel like I've let you all down. Frankly I've been so involved in the Klutzy Gamer stuff, I've let Bon Bon Betties and Betwixt Baubles slide. You guys don't deserve that. I won't make excuses for my lack of time management or production because frankly, there are none because issues no matter personally or professionally could have been handled with a hiatus or vacation to give myself some time. I haven't given these shops the attention I've wanted to or that they deserved. I realize it is primarily a time issue but deep down I just always want to do the best I can and often second guess myself, which leads to procrastinating to just tweak it a bit more. It has become never ending and I hope you will bear with me as I attempt to make it right. 

au revoir
