Needing Advice/ Etsy/Other

So the blog has been up and running for a few days or so and I have no idea how to connect with other bloggers to find people who may be interested in my new foundling blog.
Ive now created an Etsy account and its bothering me that the photo quality may not be appealing enough but will work on it, and have been trying and failing to improve my website, and trying to make mock ups in time
for christmas but struggling to find time amongst hectic university essays on badgers/meetings/phone calls/ pracement for this year/next year needs organising (Im thinking orangutan research?)/the madness of living with Saf (my incredibly awsome but mental goth rocking South African housemate) our 3 naughty cats Honey (mine - sneeky, playful, a pain in the backside but loved by all for her antics) Boy (Safs, official name Bullet but he doesn't like it, Man of the house but big softie) and Evie the prodigal cat who went missing for 3months and turned up out of the blue at Safs friends house where she had stayed for one week, skeletel and a few tics aside there was nothing wrong which was a gift from god shes now happy and healthy and a total attention seeker, oh and she drools like a baby when shes happy, the 3 of them gang up on us often.
So things feel like they have temporarily slowed down, if it wasnt for christmas coming id relax and take my time but would love to have stock for sale in bulk for christmas, on that note i should sign off and pick the knitting up, peace x

First Blog

So this is my first blog.
So far I have made a range of baby knit, developed my hand embroidered labels sourced my packaging and had the labels created by artist Jay Roerade from JAAM - Joining art and mind (see pictures attached). I have also had my mum set up my exel spreadsheet working out profit margins costs and stock management etc and created my facebook page CalieMichelle Luxury Baby Handknit and my website http://www.caliemichelleluxuryhandknit.co.uk/ where my pieces are available for paypal order with custom personalised features available and twin and package deals!
I have so far only made for family and friends, I had two orders potentially in place which I lost due to an ex hacking my accounts causing significant delays.....I have learnt from this and everything personal and work related now secure to the max but really frustrating!
Any feedback on my products/website/blogging is massively appreciated .
Peace
