"Keeping secrets!!"

"This is a difficult blog to write, it's about secrets, but it's a blog!!! 

I have a couple of biggish dressmaking jobs on the go at the minute, both are for Christmas and both recipients use the internet and specifically facebook so much as I'd like to describe in detail the work I'm doing I can't? Both of these secret dressmaking projects would be brilliant for my marketing as each is interesting in it's own way and may be of interest to my readers and followers who might suddenly realise "I didn't think she could that sort of sewing, but she can so maybe I'll talk to her about a commission".

But I can't tell you, my customers have asked me to keep these jobs a secret and as I like to do my utmost for my customers keeping the jobs a secret is what I will do. For now!

My point is that my customers wishes are paramount, even to the detriment of my marketing abilities in the short term. I like to look after my customers and hope that they will help me in return by giving me more work themselves and by telling all their acquaintances about my work so that I get work from them as well. 

Of course in the long term, specifically for these two 'secret' jobs, look out in the New Year as then there will be pictures online and I will be showing the new outfits off to the world and with any luck I'll have brilliant testimonials form both the customers involved. Then we may see some orders roll in perhaps?"
