moopfmerising musings

So here I am with a new blog. It’s a bit roomy at the moment, I think it needs tucking in around the waist and probably letting out in the trousers.

I guess it would help if I told you who I am, wouldn’t it. My name’s Gareth Lancaster and I design paper products (mainly, it gets a bit complicated, there’s a whole heap of other stuff that that doesn’t cover, but it’ll do for now) that I sell on Etsy. My store’s here, if you’re interested: http://moopf.etsy.com/

I can’t promise I’ll update the blog every day, week, month. OK then, I’ll update it when ever I have something to say. Which can be quite often. In fact, you’ll probably get sick of me before long. Or maybe not. Of course I’ll blog about new stuff I have in my store but I want to do more than that, so I’ll be picking on some fellow Etsy sellers and blogging about their wonderful creations (the stuff I like, you know how it goes). I’ll be grumbling about the artistic process (hah, yeah right!) and postulating on the whys and wherefores of selling, promoting and shouting ‘Hello, can you hear me!’ when you feel that nobody’s listening.

Which probably includes you now. I mean, you’re not still reading this, are you? Come on, in the immortal words of Why Don’t You, go and do something less boring instead…

…but do come back, please
