Internet problems

I have been having such problems with the internet lately - it just won't load certain sites.  Some are fine - some won't load at all - and some sites have gaps in.  It is on both my big computer at the shop - and my net book.  I have updated everything I can think of - and had a good old clear out and run the maintenance - all no luck.  I have called the techie guys and Mike will be out in the week to have a look - last time it happened it was the router that needed something doing to it - so I am just hoping it's not a biggie.

Any ways - we are really going full on for Christmas.  I have got several new kits together - My favorite is one in the 'special kits' range the Rudolph Reindeer

Another new one is Hissssing Sid - taking on a bit of Fair Isle patterning - both of these are for people who have had a bit of practice already and are looking for a bigger project.

One of the projects in the 'starter' range is a Christmas cracker.  This is proving a hit already - and one of the shops has ordered a load for their Christmas window.  That's my evening full for next week.

and something a bit different - one more for the sewing range - a little coaster made from those strips of pretty fabric images that you get in the quilting section.  Dead easy and really fun.

So that is all the kits sorted.  As always you can get the full kit in the shop - and you can download just the patterns from the website.

There is also a pattern for a christmas pudding tea cosy pattern and a Pacman and Ghosties hat.

Progress in the kitchen

The 'START'

The 'BEFORE'

The 'AFTER'

No quite 'Ta Dah' - it took the goat about 5 hours

No idea what's going on - but busy updating everything I can think of

I have just been demoing Twinkling H2Os - I had forgotten just how pretty and versatile they are.

Soooo beautiful and sparkly - was getting a bit carried away with myself for a moment ;-)

Art on the Prom - Grange

It's the last Art on the Prom show in Grange tomorrow -- and I am really sorry - but I won't be there.

My health has been fragile for the past couple of months - and I am just starting to pull out of it this week or so.  I can't risk another fibro flare up setting me back again at this time of year.  I have tons still to do in the shop - and just don't talk about the website - anyone want to volunteer ;-).  I did get several projects finished this week - or nearly there - so I can start on a new Christmas kit - get the button boxes up to date - and get all the back room 'kitchen' production line rolling again.

knitting patterns

If you want to know what a knitting pattern in the 'rough' looks like - - -

Aren't you glad I do a bit more work with it before I let it loose on you!

this will be your special Christmas kit - available as a kit - ready made - or just the pattern.  Just got one more test knit to do so it should be ready next week.

Christmas is coming!!!!

OK chaps - you have nagged me into it - Christmas is here!!

Lots of stock has arrived - some is still drifting into the country and there will be new bits and bobs right through til November.

Few of the highlights
- we will be stocking House Mouse stamps.  In case you have not come across these darling little chaps before they are super quality cling-mount rubber stamps are made from deeply etched, precision trimmed premium grey rubber. With 1/8" thick grey foam for a smooth impression on uneven or textured surfaces. The cling stamp, are backed with a full sized, indexed sheet of acrylic cling vinyl. The index allows for exact placement of the image when used with a clear acrylic handle.

so far I have picked up a few Christmas ones - but if you like them I will be adding more to the range.

I have a few die cut greetings from a new company - thought they would be really useful

and there are shapes coming in as they arrive in the country from the USA

Mouseloft Christmas cross stitch are in - I also picked up the Biscuit the Cat range - and the Little Dog range - thought they would make cute stocking fillers.

Felt ornaments to make for the tree are also super kits for stocking fillers - or you to make your self

there are 11 different ones all together - so loads of choice - but get in quick - once they are gone there won't be any more this year!

Tando shapes will arrive next week - loads of fantastic shapes and projects on a Christmas theme - fantastic ideas  and really unusual. 

Felt - foam - ribbon - embroidery threads - yarns - all in bright modern Christmas colours - or more traditional vintage Christmas colours

Let you know more details as things settle.

Have been plastering

I thought that I would start showing my son how to DIY - starting with taking off a short row of tiles in my kitchen.  I think he got a bit carried away - he took off the tiles - and the plaster - and the under coating - right back to the raw brick work!!!!

Never mind - now he has to learn how to plaster a wall

Wall of Wool

The Wall of Wool is now finished

The whole corridor is now full with hanging storage - don't think the dog is too chuffed though!

new knitting section

 - well - section is too grand a title really!

The first of our 'overhaul' projects is underway - the small passageway that still had the last section of the false walling in place has been stripped out.  There is now the plain painted plaster wall and a wooden panel with hooks for the yarn storage.  The yarn section has grown and grown - I never expected that one - but love all the knitting and crochet going on.

We have our Christmas - Vintage colours

and our - Christmas - Modern look

and - nearly forgot all about - the Halloween set

We have the felt - and foam sheets to match - the ribbons will be on the next order - thinking about adding the embroidery threads to match - what do you think?
