5 days until Knitting & Stitching, NEC

11th-14th September, 2008.

It's our first really big show and I'm so excited! There's still plenty to do, so I'll make this a quick one.

We'd love for you to come and see us! We'll be at stand K30. Come along and introduce yourself as we'd love to put some faces to names.

See you soon!

Big Zipper Border - The Tire Swing is in

The penultimate part of the series arrived on my doorstep today. I can't wait to add this section to my shop copy. It's really coming together now and has been one of my favourite projects ever!

Big Zipper Border

Part 5 (Big Tree) of the Big Zipper Border is up on the site and we're eagerly awaiting part 6! It takes us quite a while to get them from Bent Creek, I guess because we're in the UK, and it must be a pain for them to get them shipped to us. We can sometimes wait months after they are on US websites, so please be patient!

The good news is, we've just shipped a Part 1 to Italy! We're getting more international by the day!

The Customer Gallery is up

I've created the gallery and put up some pieces that Kate North stitched.

Take a look!

Back to work for a rest

As usual, I didn't get as much done as I'd hope for. Still, three black bags went in the bin, one went for recycling and one for charity. We made room for all of the stock on the shelves so the sewing room is less cluttered. We then spent a couple of hours designing a new storage system for the sewing room that will incorporate a futon for guests.

We chose the IKEA Ivar range, but they charge £35 for delivery and you have to wait 2 weeks! For £35, I want next day delivery. They don't deliver futons anyway, so we'd still have to go and pick that up.

So, we'll go off to Ikea one night in the week.


I didn't get any shop stuff done, apart from starting a new model. I just got a shipment of Heart in Hand Needleart samplers and charms which need to go up on the site (not to mention the mulititude of other things that are waiting to go up), but I couldn't resist starting on Wool Whimsy Angelica. She works up really quickly and the colours are just beautiful.

I'm starting a gallery of customers' work, as well, so I'll put a picture of her up there, once she's finished.

I've also joined a great Bent Creek, Trilogy, HIHN group on yahoo and the girl there have really inspired me, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

The weekend was very spring like and all of the bulbs in my garden are coming up. I couldn't resist picking up a copy of Gardener's World this morning as I'm really looking forward to having breakfast in the garden again!



Anyway, I hope you have a great day and find some time for stitching :)

Nearly the weekend!

We're planning a bit of a spring clean at home, this weekend.

We're off to Ikea tonight (we always go at night as it's less mental, then) to get some extra shelves to go over the doors in the living room to complete the "wall of books". All of the remaining books that are in Alex's room (when he stays) can be moved down then.

There's a mountain of of old printers and fax machines that can go, too. Then we want to put some new modular storage in the sewing room and have some dedicated space for storing stock between shows.

It'll be exhausting, but I can't wait!

I'll post up some before and after pictures!
