Ok at about 2am this morning while waiting what felt like forever to move my comp files.. little ol me had a brain wave or maybe a total mental deviation...
It is supposed to be my intention this week to rebuild my computer (oh the new case looks like its out of a transformer movie total boy racer with so much cooling and fans it will be like having aircon..) I've had a nightmare redoing this one as i cant seem to stop fiddling and reprogramming it (yep actual reprogramming).. The trouble is I start something and then around 3am need sleep.. ah this is the problem after said sleep my memory has been restarted and I quite often forget the bit of genius I had the night before it's not bad as long as i dont restart the comp, if the comp has restarted i'm in trouble as i never finish what I was doing... I have considered just leaving the comp alone and using it as a user but!!!! I cant arghhhh... throw back to when i was really nerdy and geeky...
So to keep my fingers from roaming and messing up my file system i decided to play about with a fairy website idea.. I've not touched this sort of designing for ages and i'm now relearning the process... comments please about the rather graphically laden prototype it's just a bit of fun really.... Well i have a few hours as my zillion gigabites are fully backed up yawn and the hard drive made ready for the new system ( only built this on a few mths ago)..
Me thinks i should package my spa bars before they do that salt thingy and sweat.. Oh and i have
to strip my Kenwood as I think i blew the motor making the salted butter, now that i am gutted about, i had planned on french macaroons and marshmallow making later and hand whisking is not an option, so out will come my trusty tool kit and hopefully its just the bushes or something like that and i can repair it (its the same age as me bless so i cant give up on it)..
Oh my fiddling didnt stop with the comp yep i have a new blog template but the probs need ironing out (lol the only ironing I know how to do I was born without the domestic gene).
My son has very sweetly offered to show me how to photograph my products as i am so pants at it and refuse to sell most of them online as I cant make the pictures look as nice as the products.
My latest soaps I did are curing nicely but the pictures are yeuk... There's Jamaican Blue Mountain (middle -- chefs soap) Paprika sandlewood and mustard and my aunt's fav just in time for xmas for her vanilla, lemon and french lavender topped with marshmallow flowers
Ok of to play with dinner OH was baking with me a few weeks ago and he made chicken pies so its freezer food tonight (and every night for at least two weeks I've ran out of room in my freezers) but with fresh roast veggy's... have a fab day everyone xxxx

The fairy website looks great! Do you write HTML or what program are you using to make the website?
The soaps look so good too, even if you don't like the pictures. I wish I had smell-o-vision over here... Can you program the smells into your blog for me? LOL
Hiya Pam.. so far I'm just using photoshop and microsoft expressions (frontpage revamped). I used to be able to code in pure html well in a fashion. My skills are major rusty (a decade) and graphics was not my strongest skill I was more backend (oh that sounds odd).. My main website is already online but I'm not happy with it as it seems functional but not fun awww... now of to play with tables and css.. Umm smell-o-vision wonder if you can do scratch and sniff on a website.... hehe
I like the look of your soap too. That's the special appeal of handcrafted soap. The artistic quality is a plus. I try my hand at being rustic but it never pans out that way or maybe it's just me thinking that its ugly.
