Hey,


oh, I saw that before. I think your browser out of date. Try to update it. If I'm right you might use internet explorer 9 or something and that's why it's like that. Lots of pages comes up wrong in old browsers. Let me know if that was the problem.
And I tried to clean my html as well so hopefully you will see it now.

Hey Cecilia,

Thanks for your response.
With all respect I don't agree. I understand my wife`s kits are seem to be expensive, but all we just try to do are the cross stitch kits what doesn't ends up in a plastic bag or in the drawer. If she finishes it than it's not a cross stitch kit than it's a bag that's handmade. Considering the work/time she puts in making these bags I think they are priceless when finished
I had a look on etsy as well and one witch is quite orange got a tiny line at the top with some cross stitch for twentysomething. Don't get me wrong it's nice for someone who wants just a bag, but we want to sell our kits for stitchers who enjoy stitching as a hobby, but don`t want to stitch a picture to the wall. Considering similar size cross stitch kits, i think they cost around the same, but you also need to consider extra cost with framing etc or you do nothing with them. Most other items I found there as handmade finished, they all come from Asia. Where I think.....handmade is ....well... made by lots of little hands:)
I know I may be sound angry but I'm not and I really do appreciate your opinion but I don't think they are quite the same.

Well, we're all different and that's what makes the world interesting.

I admire your wife's ethos of making cross stitch into a useful item, really I do , and I also understand your point about extra costs for framing when people stitch pictures for their walls, but with respect, I wouldn't buy a canvas tote bag for £40 even to stitch it myself and I was wondering if this is why your wife hasn't had much success so far.

I think that Allyn gave some very good advice about bulk buying and that is defintely worth considering to bring costs down a bit.

Also, the bags I saw on Etsy were not from Asia "made by little hands" I did a search under "cross stitch tote bags".

However, I wish you wife every success with her business venture.
