Meet Violet Posy
Hello!
Welcome to Violet Posy, I’m Liz, blogger, geek girl, gardener, DIY lover and all round lover of pretty things. I’m wife to Paul and mother to 9 year old Miss L and Betty the mad gigantic black Labrador dog. My style is Shabby Chic/bargain hunter/reclaimed vintage, with a slight obsession with Cath Kidston and vintage floral prints.
I used to be an IT Manager but after 10 years of climbing under desks and wiring parts of computers together, it lost it’s allure – there are only so many times you can hit your head on a desk!. I’ve just started my own blog/web design company which is really exciting, and hopefully good things will come of it.
If you’d like to talk to me you can e-mail me here I hope to talk to you soon, it’s always nice to make new friends!

Thanks Fifi, I need the encouragement, it’s bit of a leap in the dark!! I love your website and you are a great example! Thanks Liz
Good Luck with your new adventure, working for yourself xx
aw thanks, I need all the encouragement I can get, I’ve been bottling it a bit! x
This is my first visit here and I will enjoy coming along and reading the stuff you have put on here. I need to get to grips with what it all means etc. You will be great at this, if you only write about the funny things that Lily says You were fab at IT though and we so miss you at work, getting techie info now over the phone from some ‘person’ in Worcester is just not the same, you always had time, you always explained everything in laymans terms so we un-techie people could understand. Hope your new venture goes really well Liz you are so lovely x
Awww ((HUGS)) Thanks Davina xx I miss you guys too, it was never dull and always lots of fun x
Dream, Create and Excel. Go for it, let nothing stop you from fulfilling your dream.
Judi,
Thank you so much for your kind words x
Hi Liz, I’ve just stumbled upon your page whilst searching for Halloween goodies – what an amazing site, everything I love, even the Cath Kidtson touch – wonderful, be sure I will be tuning in again. I do a similar blog site myself accept I am a novelist. thanks again K.
Hi! First visit here, am trying to find out what is going on in the British Mummy-Blogger world. Am Swedish myself but blog in English. Can relate to your feelings about becoming an entrepreneur: did it myself (am a diplomat gone inventor), am so far having a fantastic ride and hope the pay will follow one day
Will subscribe to your feed, am sure there will be lots to comment on!
Karen & Cecilia – Welcome! Sorry I’ve only just seen your kind messages – I look forward to seeing you both on here

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for the lovely comment – I’ve dropped you an email
I also have a slight obsession with Cath Kidston
Were you on my table at the BMB meet up yesterday? There was someone on mine that I didn’t get around to talking to (I’m terrible at approaching people=shy
) x
Hi Carly, I’ve just dropped you an email. Thanks so much for stopping by! x
Hi Liz, I’ve just migrated my blog over to its own url and am now using WordPress. I’m happy with the theme I’m working with but would still like to design an avatar for Vegemitevix. I’m not sure if you know my story so here tis in a nutshell. I met a man (my Englishman) in Paris in 2007, and moved out here from NZ with my three kids in August 2008 to be with him and try a new life together. We married in May 2009. I blog about parenting teens (at MadManicMamas as well as my own blog), and step parenting and expat life and homesickness etc.
I’d like the Vegemitevix avatar to be something classy, feminine (but not girly), savvy (I am almost gasp 42!) and memorable – maybe making use of the VV? I think the blog’s style is very frank, often funny (read An Attractive Older Woman and Contact) and always honest.
Ok so here’s the thing – I have limited funds (I hate writing that, I work in marketing too and I hate clients with ‘limited budgets’) but how much would it cost me for you to design me a lovely avatar for Vegemitevix?
Can you please drop me an email or dm me on twitter @vegemitevix
cheers

Am sooo envious, I really want to make the leap too. Well done. *hugs*
Thank you so much Amanda. I hope you can do the same x
Congrats for making the leap. You blog is lovely. I will definitely be adding it to my Blogroll! Lella x
Hi Lella, Thanks for the lovely message, lovely to meet you! Liz

thanks for all your help last year
Debs
Thanks you so much Debs, I had the best time working with you! Wishing you a wonderful 2012 too xx
Well done you
I am tentatively making steps to finally take the leap myself. I have spent 15 years working (and fighting) with PC’s/ databases and the usual 9 – 5 treadmill, if I see another codebase error I think I may scream!!
A friend pointed me in your direction to show me what you could do if you really wanted to. Now suitably inspired I’m off to sort out a ruff Idea of my content and to do battle with Word Press..
May your 2012/13 bring you continued success.
