My sister’s online shop is now live made by val so if you happen to be looking for handmade fairy doors then you can find them there. Shipping is only to the UK at the moment however Val hopes to expand this in the 2007.
ZenCart was used for this project, I found that it can be a bit overwhelming when you first look at it but I guess it is the number of options that make it powerful. The template system takes a bit of learning when you are used to your templates being contained in a single folder as with WordPress or Joomla! The ZenCart template system is explained here if you want further reading.
Now that the shop project is live I am reviving on my loooong neglected rickis dot net site. I am working on a set of Joomla! templates which I want to convert for WordPress and if possible ZenCart so that sites can be created using a combination of these applications and have a unified design.
I will be changing the theme here before too long, Jura was my first attempt at writing a WordPress template and theme from scratch and although I like it does have a few problems. I have learned a lot of CSS in the last couple of months and I have a few new ideas that I want to try out, so as they say “stay tuned”

It looks like you and your sister is both very creative in each your way! That is cool.
I didn’t know you were planning on opening a online template’s shop. Good luck with that. You keep wanting to change your theme around here – maybe you are planning on a Christmas theme this time ?
I am also happy to read that your toe is fine again – that sounded so painful!
Thank you Nan. I think the templates will be free until I know for sure that I know what I am doing. I will add a PayPal box if people want to give donations to the beer fund
Although as mentioned on your blog a while back I would never do that here on my blog. This is different because a company may be able to take a template for Joomla! and profit from it so I don’t see why I should have the chance of a kick back. 
I don’t mind the pay pal thing when people actually is offering something! It’s only when they whine that they can’t afford their site or beg for money to buy things I think it’s too much.
Totally agree, asking for money for blog content is like asking for money when you are spouting rubbish when you are a little drunk down the pub
