Today I am continuing to make some more of my ā€˜Peedie Naturalsā€™ baby slip-ons. I am using some gorgeous pure, undyed Gotland wool from Love Gotland Wool. Reared, hand sheared and spun in Britain. If you fancy finding out more about my 100% British wool and sheepskin baby slip-on soft shoes then pop over to my Etsy and The British Craft House shops to see what I have available. I am expanding the range to include as many natural-sustainable-traceable British wools as possible. I love supporting and working with small scale producers. šŸ™‚šŸ§¶šŸ‘šŸ’š

Hi folks. Regarding my Facebook business account - Midge Porter Design. I seem to be totally unable to recover my access to the account. I still canā€™t recover my account and FB helpdesk is useless. I have tried every route, believe me.

Just ignore any FB links as I canā€™t access that account anymore and canā€™t respond to messages on there. So sorry if you have tried to contact me there and I have not responded. It is not for want of trying!!

I tried setting up a new FB business account but this is turning out to be a soul destroying experience and so many parts will not allow me to set up the privacy levels I want. I think Iā€™m going to give up with FB in terms of my business. I never used it much anyway.

I've posted my business info below and Iā€™d really appreciate it if you could join me if you are interested in what I do. I really appreciate your support folks. Thank you and if you could also share my details to anyone who might be interested in what I do then that would also be of huge help. ā˜ŗļø

I sell via Etsy at www.etsy.com/uk/shop/midgeporterdesign and The British Craft House https://thebritishcrafthouse.co.uk/shop/midgeporterdesign/ online, as well as at Dumfries Farmers' Market and Castle Douglas Producers Market. I sell at The Heart of Galloway shop in CD. I also sell at The Mill on the Fleet in Gatehouse-of-Fleet. You can find m on Threads, or via my website - www.midgeporterdesign.co.uk.

Still not able to get into my Facebook business account. Please contact and message me here or at [email protected] Major headache. I can see that I have messages waiting but canā€™t get past two-step authentication (ironic that I set it up to make my account more secure!).

Canā€™t get into my business FB account so if you need me please message here. Authentication codes not working and canā€™t seem to recover my account as it was on a secondary FB account. Nightmare!! šŸ˜±

In case you were wondering, it is rhubarb root from my garden. Shortly to be a natural dye bath.

Gorgeous smell of ā€˜greenā€™ in the kitchen this morning. Vibrant young nettle leaves all ready for some natural dyeing using farm traceable DK and 4ply 100% British wool. Looking forward to seeing what shade I get. I might throw some other wool breed yarn in the pot too.
