I am alive...Lol. Havent been on here in a while due to a few to many surgeries. The hospital decided two years of work on my mouth was a failure and had to be redone.

So after all my surgeries a lot of knitting and crocheting has been done. Hopefully only two more operations to go and i am finished, fingers crossed!

So a heck of a lot of crocheting and knitting has been done which has lead me to opening up an on line store business. Still setting it up at present but it is open and live through the whole opening and set up stage which is something different. If youd like a sneek peek the web adress is https://caszscountrycrafts.store/

Normally you only see a business once its fully set up and compleated. Mine is a little differnt with the theory that those interested would keep sneeking a peek throughout the set up phase and create a few followers along the way. Which is actually happening so its something im feeling proud about. Proud about my followers and me setting things up. 

Figured it will take me at three to six months to fully set it up as I have to do it in between hospital visits, operations and physiotheraphy sessions. Hopefully though it will slowly build over time plus my instagram and facebook followers will slowly link into it all. Just setting up delivery and postage costs is an absolute nightmare and taking time with researching costs from delivery suppliers and adding them to the store. I know i like my parcels delivered to me securely so I to like to supply my customers parcels serurely to them to there front doors.

Its still a lot of work but by the 12 month period i hope to have a few regular customers in there, a really good business plan, with the stock owned as capital and not on credit.

Once its all set up ill start advertising it professionaly to source customer bases but atm im relying on search engines, word of mouth and people like you reading this post either having a look or sharing it forward for me. People Power is something I definatly rely on at this early set up stage thats for sure. Any way it’s time for me to go again as my time management plan is out the window today...ha...ha!!! and ive things i need to get done.

Have a great week everyone and I promise Ill be back here on sooner rather than later. Catch you all later on! Casz

For those of you who do not know me I thought Id write a little about myself. I have been fighting cancer for nearly 10 years now, I used to run a local charcoal chicken shop in town but had to resign from that instantly when I found out I had an aggressive Mouth & Oesophagus Cancer in July, 2009.

I was operated on 24 hours after that diagnose and didn't return home for another 4 months only to have another week home and than travel down to Melbourne for Radiation therapy treatment, I came home 3 months later and I was told to expect to die within a four year time period so my hopes weren't exactly high back then and I was told to make the best of what time I had left with my family, partner & children.

My life has never been been the same since that day and to everyone's surprise including myself I have survived this long. I developed necrosis in October, 2015 from having to much radiation therapy which meant I had radiation poisoning and by the time my condition was diagnosed again it was pretty serious. My left side of my jaw had four break in it my chin 2 and the right side of my jaw had completely disintegrated. So major surgery again and once again I had to put my life on hold again and another 3 month stay in hospital and 18 months recovering from the surgery.

I am still having surgeries done to have my lower face , mouth and pallet reconstitution I now need due to the fact the surgery Id initially had done to give me time was done by learner and hadn't been done correctly. I have also been un tongue tied as he had sewed the underneath of my tongue on backwards after they cut it in half so am slowly regaining some of my speech and eating and although they will never be the same again i'm alive and have some function, my weight fluctuates to much but to be honest Im just happy to be alive for whatever time I have left on this earth with those I love and who are in my life now.

I lost a lot of friends and even a few family members during my struggle to live not because I was dying but more the fact they didn't know how to cope to with it or had to much going on there own lives to fit me in. I've had a total of 34 operations now so far and have another 2 Im about to face early next year in 2019, I see my plastic surgeon again next week for more news on that one. 

I dont have a survivor status yet again as I lost that in 2015 & have another 2 years to on that one before I call myself a survivor again but I already consider myself there as one especially as Im still alive 9 years later & nearly 10 years on my diagnosis. At times I get a little depressed and yes feel sorry for myself mainly because I was no longer earning an income’as I've worked all my life and having buried and lost a lot of family during this time with the age Im now at and is to be expected but it still hurts and no mater how long time goes you miss those you bury.

From all of this struggle I have crochet and knitted, especially with spending so much time in hospital and at home it gave me something to do taking my mind off a lot of it all including the pain. Home time has also meant a heck of a lot of therapy for speech, lymphodema therapy and physiotherapy. i have learnt to walk on a leg with the back none missing from lower right leg so instead of 2 bones in that leg I have only 1 as that was what they used to make a new jaw for me. 

   A new technique devised by the 6 surgeons who flew in to work on me from through out the world that was to be 24 hour surgery but they pulled me out at 18 hours due to blood flow difficulties and not finished which is why I cant be fully finished now. My cheek was reconstructed from  muscle in my shoulder and ive had numerous skin grafts so far one more to go again yet though early in 2019. Those scar I wear with pride to be honest and being a part of new techniques being the guinea pig has been both exciting & frighting.

From all this pain, death, travel to hospitals and my interest with wool growing I've gone from crochet & knitting to dying wool and am now learning to spin wool. Something I hope to earn an income from for the rest of my living life. I didn't initially choose wool as an income but more for therapy but from that gift of life and living, my friends & family Casz’s Country crafts was born and I am slowly putting my business together on line through Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and of course Tumbler.

Casz’s Country Craft’s is slowly growing with support from all of you online. I now have a blog called Wednesday’s Pattern Pick’s where after a lot of internet searching I find free patterns to post which you are able to download free in PDF format, there is also  no  subscription for this as Im unable to do it every week but will do it as often as I can on a Wednesday so it’s there for everyone to access on a Thursday.

I am producing a quarterly newsletter which has interesting facts and articles about wool in it, free patterns again which are not published on the website & coupons for you to use throughout a 10 week time period repeatedly. So you have time to save and budget for what you would like to buy. The Newsletter is every 3 months and the only time it is not published is when I have surgery & recovery time.

I have bamboo needles for sale, hand dyed dk yarn atm that has dyed by me that is a superwash plus some imported yarns from italy & germany, I also sell crochet & knitting Accessories, Needles and notions plus a few patterns for you to all access and from 2019 I hope to Knit Pro needles in stock for you all directly from here in Victoria Australia.

I do hope though that my store will succeed with over time and support by the online community and that over time my health will improve more and I can enjoy life more after hospitals and operations.

The same cancer killed my father at 59 which is how old I am, my grandfather died at 42 from  a brain tumour and I lost my other grandparents, nan and pop with only my mother and 1 aunt still surviving so not a lot of family remaining now, my mum says shes going to live to 106 I believe her as my grandmother was 99. The women in my family have had to be strong and inspirational and adaptive for there times so its no wonder I've plodded along with my life, my 4 children now live with the threat of cancer which saddens me immensely, i do hope they have long, happy and prosperous lives though.

So out of cancer A Woollen Fibre Business has been born & due to what I've gone through new surgeries & techniques have been developed with me being the guinea pig, lol. However 4 other patients who normally to wouldn't be helped are now receiving help due to the new techniques and my surgeon has trained 6 other doctors from various hospitals. So for that I am grateful that some good has come out of this horrible disease.

I’d love for you to have a look at my website store, maybe join our Facebook page or Follow our Instagram sites or Pintrest Site to see what Im up to plus of course follow my journey as it you the online reader that i need to follow me and who also buy’s from me plus of course share my posts to get the word out about my business, as at the moment I can't afford to pay for advertising. 

Which everyone keeps telling Im probably going to fail with not doing paid advertising as they dont believe in the power of you the reader or me the fighter the person trying to rise out of hospitals, death and cancer. I do though believe in the internet the power of the reader the power of the reader and that I can in fact make an income running a small business from home with illness, major disabilities and survive all of this coming our of it with both my Cancer survivor Status, A life & A income.

So Please Follow My Journey! & my Online store., link is on the words online store and Casz’s Country Craft’s throughout my blog.

How can I do this I can because I Live EFTPOS Facilities, Pay Pal & E-Square Point of sale payment systems in place plus of course the online store checkout facilities.

Wednesday's Free Pattern Picks are uploaded & Online for you all. My very first photo here is hint on pattern number one. Taken hours to type everything up & still need to check everything again in 24hrs now it is uploaded, but am really pleased with what I've created for you all. I out did myself with uploading & writing out TEN PATTERNS FOR YOU ALL. There's also new ones in the patterns download link page for PDF Printouts. The other photos are of some of the stock we took down to the local community market's on the weekend. There's also some more needles that have arrived today and I'll upload them to the store tomorrow. Finally working on the next newsletter, following on from the last one and also answering the most common questions I am asked by new knitters and crocheters who are up at my age at.....hmmmm! Let's just say the 50 to 70 year age bracket 🤣 Considering we where raised with pounds, pennies, shillings & pence, the term WOOL, nylon, rayon, cotton, inches, feet, pound's & ounces, yards, feet, inches, miles and many more. Then we've gone from a king to queen, dollar and cents, grams, kilos, cm & meters, nylon, rayon,cotton, wool,yarn, viscose, polyamide, spandex & still more. So now again at 2015 to 2018, now we no longer have 1 & 2c prices, a bag of lollies Is $4, drive In's have gone out & now are back in! Everyone stopped Crocheting & Knitting because garments came to Kmart & Target. Now there's a major resurgence of the crafts due to poor quality cloths & financial constraints however everything has a new term and name for us all to learn & know about so I thought I'd actually talk about it instead burying it in my stash cupboards.....Lol! So if your wondering what Ive been up to and looking for your read there ARE 10 free Summer Dress Crochet & Knit patterns, pop on over to the Patterns section of our website, down to Wednesdays Pattern Picks Downloads Free Patterns for you access....Free no charge, payment or subscription required! #caszscountrycrafts.store #Freepatterns #WednesdaysPatternPicks #accessories #crochetinspiration #knittersofinstagram #newstock #moretoupload #wool #crochethooks #knittingneedles #notions (at Casz's Country Craft's) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCoh00Hw-v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pv5q94gf6exc
