The whole thing started when Sheila, one time just before Christmas, was on sick leave and watching daytime television, . The programme Sheila was watching included the decorating of Christmas Tables. One of the things was to scribble 'lead paint' onto wine glasses. As Sheila was expecting quite a few guests for Christmas, more than she had sets of wine glasses for, she decided look into creating her own wine glasses. She got her husband Vic to buy enough plain wine glasses and some of the leading. He came back with everything plus not only leading but glass paints as well.

Sheila created her glasses and they were a great hit with her guests so much so that one guest asked if she would paint some glasses for her. Sheila continued to paint other glasses until she had so many, like the women in the boot with too many children, she didn't know what to do with them. Once again someone recommended that she tried to sell them. No one was more astonished than Sheila that they did start to sell and people were also giving her commissions.

The She-gogs label was created from an affectionate nick name given to Sheila by her twin sister when they were young and Sheila had to start wearing glasses. Although they both outgrow the use of the nickname, when Sheila was looking for a name for her creation of painted glasses the title seemed apt........Sheila was once again involved with glasses.

Sheila decided that she should create her web site to promote the glasses further..........this was along time ago.............when people realised that Sheila was trying her hand at a web sites they started to ask her to do their sites as well. Vic started up the business Genproxy to not only promote their geneology research but to also sell Domain names and web spaces for the sites.

The She-gogs web site was forgotten while other sites where being created, glasses where being painted and Sheila was still in full time employment as a research officer.

By the pure nature of Sheila's work she has always been involved in computers and has many computer skills. Sheila has been designing databases for the collation of research facts and figures for over seven years and before that she was creating databases for financial and administration purposes. Again Sheila has had many private commissions for database programs, the creation of web sites seemed a natural progression .

The She-gogs label is now a well known name in the the art and craft circles and can be seen on many web sites created by Sheila.
