Babies, Rav day, and a bit behind x

My brilliant sister has been busy ! Congratulations to Joanna and Joseph and welcome to Lily Violet Bright !


proud Nanny !

Mum and Lily

Bathtime !

Just a quick post to say we were at the first ever Uk Ravelry day on Saturday which dispite the weather was a great sucess, huge thanks to Jo and the team for organising a fab day and we hope to be at the next one in 2010 ! It was great being able to put faces to names and lovely to meet lots of our customers x

As some of you may know Mum has been away the last few weeks, and to be honest I have been struggling a bit to keep up, I have had the children in the shop with me over halfterm and although I have had some help in the shop things are a bit behind, I am desperatly trying to catch up with emails and back orders so please feel free to nudge me if you are waiting for something ! So please bear with me and apologies x x x

And as you can see above there is a new baby in the family, my wonderful sister Joanna gave birth to Lily Violet weighing in at a healthy 8lb 1oz, and is the reason Mum is in Australia lending a hand with the two big brothers aged 3 and 1 !

Postage :(

Just a quick post to say unfortunetly with the Royal Mail price increases we have had to up our postage rates, as before we have kept it to a minimum and it is still one price no matter the size of your order.
We have also decided to continue with the free 2nd class postage for another 3 months so its not all bad news ....................and even better sign up for our newsletter and recieve 10% off your next order !

Boo to Royal Mail ........... Yay to us !

Wonderwool 2009 !

Hi,

Well that took 2 weeks to recover from Wonderwool Wales ! After transporting the whole shop (yes units and all !) we set up shop for the weekend, A fab time was had by all and huge thanks to Janny T, Sue and all the boys for help with setting up.

Janny T !

It was brill to meet up with all our friends, online customers and other traders for a hectic Saturday, we gave out all our Ravelry badges pretty quick and it was really nice to see a large Rav presence there.

Here's some pics x

Love Patisserie moment!

Didn't get out to buy much, although a few things slipped through ! some gorgeous silk from Artisan Yarns, some alpaca socks for a pressie (never finish my own hand knits!) and some merino 4ply from John Arbon, a slipper felting kit and of course Love Patisserie tarts ! It was exhausting but we loved every minute of it so until next year.....................or maybe June !

Next stop - Uk Ravlery Day in Coventry on June the 6th.

Why is it......

That I want to make so many things ! I spend hours looking and queueing projects on Ravelry yet I never seem to complete anything, yes I am a serial starter !

'Hello my name is Lisa and I have been a serial starter for 2 years now ! ' is really what I should say, shame myself into finishing some things, so I have decided to make this......

from start to finish and I absolutely will blog regular updates of my progress !

Yay !

Its here ! Most of the preorders have gone out today so look out for your parcels !

The Debbie Bliss Magazine !

Just a quickie for those of you who have preordered the Spring/Summer Debbie Bliss magazine, we are still patiently waiting for it to clear UK customs, Designer Yarns (DB HQ) have told me they were expecting it to arrive today at the warehouse, they will dispatch it to us within 48 hours and we will get ours out asap !

Thanks to everyone waiting, and we hope you will have your magazine to enjoy with your weekend coffee !

Snow time !

Yeah it snowed ! and it snowed and it snowed ! and now we are snowed in.......hmmh my love for the white stuff is evaporating, especially as I have just gone over on my ass doing a beautiful yoga position I didn't know I could do trying to walk to the shop (its ok I'm not injured)

Though more importantly Internet orders are going to have a delay in being dispatched, and tonights knitting is cancelled, apologies we hope to be up and running asap.

although the weather forecast tomorrow is worse................

Enjoy the snow, I'm off to knit with a cuppa !
