News and Updates...

• Donations:
  • Thank you for the anonymous donation this week. All help is much appreciated.
• News:
  • For those that missed this news last week and also new subscribers: At present we're going through a house sale and I'm also expanding icklebits. This means I'm building a new site which will be dedicated to all crafts, not just miniatures.
  • Due to time and a little one, I can no longer make miniatures as you know. However, due to us moving I need to start earning money!
  • To do this, I've started importing beads and jewellery making supplies to sell on. It is a quicker and easier way to make money than making time consuming miniatures.
  • I've set up a gallery of products so far. There are nearly 250. These will be for sale in an online shop as soon as the new site is built
  • To view the gallery click here or click here to read more about what this means for icklebits as you know it....

   

  • We have an exclusive offer for our icklebits members!
  • Terry Bee has offered you all 10% off at her Etsy shop.
• The voucher code is: Ickle and it expires 31st June 2011
