Thank you for that virtual kick dans la knickers! I needed it. And the decision is made . Twolimeleaves has been a great place to live. And now it’s time to move. In fact, I already have. Pompom rouge is up and running.
The leetle conversation yesterday (and a few more with these guys) has identified for me what my Issues were (as if I have Real Problems! ha! ).
1. I am always squeamish about selling stuff to friends. It feels weird to ask friends for money. It feels yucky to show a friend stuff and then say “For only $19.99 this can be yours” with an expectant face. HOWEVER, the flip side is that I want to buy stuff from friends and, as the lovely Ms H. said in her comment, commerce between friends is one of the really nice aspects of the Internet. It really does make you feel good to support the efforts of friends!
So, Issue 1? resolved.
2. Scared that no one will come to the party
Solution : stop being such a bloody sook! No one wants to hang out with a sook. Have a good time even if you ARE by yourself (besides, they all came anyway, didn’t they?! Told you so.)
3. No one likes a blog that’s just a shop. I don’t either. So the personal stuff stays (as if I could have gone a week without mentioning my life anyway! pfft!).
Issue 3 – no issue.
4. If you tell everyone you’re doing it, then you have to do it or you’ll look like a twit.
Righto. Gotcha. Doing it!
Twolimeleaves will be here for a while yet. I’ll leave it up until, well, until I delete it 
I’ve taken my links page over to pompomrouge, lock, stock and both barrels.
Can you please update my link on your blog? Thank you *kissie kissie*
…you’re a bad girl! I just like red pompoms. That’s it. End of story.
Tassels to some parts of youself… like the girls at the Moulin Rouge in Paris…? I hope not!
Wonderful to hear you’ll be combining the Etsy stuff with ‘normal’ crafty conversation. And… in case I can’t resist the temptation of your Pompom Rouge Etsies… do you ship your Goodness to other countries in Europe than the UK?

All right, I’ll update. Kissie, kissie.
Do not just delete this blog though. Save it somehow. You have some lovely archives here.
See you at the new place! Ooh, shiny thing!

If I wasn’t being laid off in a couple more weeks, I’d be spending at your door already. For now, I can change your blog address at my blog. Hugs and huge success!

I’m already there. (I have to admit I was thinking tassels when I first saw the name.)

Kirsty, this was the evening when I decided I must email you and ask how I could get your blog, since when I looked at it, you didn’t seem to have updated it since April. And now it turned out that you hadn’t. Lovely to see you back. I shall now go to pompomrouge. Good luck with it!

If you build it, they/we will come. Can’t wait to see what you’re doing with those red tassels.
