Hello all!

I'm back from my holiday, I had a relaxing time-though the island was lacking activity, the hotel was very swish :)

I actually got back on monday, but have been hesitant to update:

When I logged onto Survey Monkey, I found that my survey no longer existed :( I didn't realise it had an expiry date, and did not think to collect the results before I went on holiday.

Nevermind! this is an opportunity improve on my first survey, and at least now I know how often I need to update and maintain my questionnaires - meaning I won't be able to lurk as much! and will be encouraged to engage with you lovely people a bit more! :)

The results of the last survey Really were very helpful to me, and a good insight into what you look for in an artist when commissioning

Also, Likeshines Recent journal has helped me understand the difficulties many commissioners have been going through

I now know not to take it so personally when I don't get as many commissions as I had anticipated :) and how to keep customers happy and reassured whilst feeling protected myself.

I would like to submit a new survey by the end of this week, it may even be a tweeked updated version of the survey I last uploaded - would those of you kind enough to fill out my last survey mind filling out the new one please? I'd be ever so grateful.

Also, I was wondering; before making new plushies (not custom ones) I usually do some preliminary sketches. These are quite rough, but eligible, and they capture the essence of the plush and..
erm..well I'm waffeling now, basically, would you be interested in seeing some of my plush concept sketches? It would be great to get your input on some concepts I'm currently working on, especially the seasonal ones.

I look forward to hearing what you think
