Feeling proud - I've found the follow us button!!!

I'm sure I won't blog quite so much once the novelty has worn off but Im quite enjoying sharing my thoughts with you all at the moment.

So much has been happening,
Just found out that Im fully booked for the next Introduction to Wet Felting Workshop, those ladies at the Vintage Cafe have been doing a stirling job advertising, I am very grateful - it means that I can get to eat there yummy cakes regularly :D

First day back at the salaried job, missed my little bundle sooooo much, but daddy did a fabulous job looking after her x

I have managed to add the 'widget' so you can follow us & we will drop onto your dashboard / email account - feeling very proud, I didn't even have to ask a student (I work at a college)

On a scary note lovely accountant man Ian questioned me if today was the deadline for my tax return... I am so sure it is Christmas, but Im a little spooked - haven't had chance to check (I am blogging via the power if the smart phone - little bundle wants lots of snuggles tonight & has now fallen asleep on me!)
I'm sure it is Christmas...

I am also enjoying reading what other creative people have been doing, a lot of talk about yarn dale, Ill get there one year or perhaps wool fest... Who knows?
You guys also show lots of lovely photos of your work, I do have some taken that are awaiting editing... Good things come to those who wait, I've got to stop stressing so much & trying to cram to much in, 

For now I am going to enjoy my snuggily cuddles :D

Retail therapy with out the guilt

So things are progressing with my little business - I have been giving it some attention since my maternity leave is coming to an end, and with it comes a whole host of emotions, excitement, anxiety, pride and fear to list just a few.

Done some good workshops at the Vintage Cafe, and Im in the process of developing some more.

We have just organised a Halloween themed workshop, in my home village of Keyingham - bracelet making, which I am very much looking forward too. Bracelet making was one of my first workshops so it is nice to revisit. I have just ordered some halloweeny beads (it's lovely when the business can pay) retail therapy without the guilt :D

What will the future hold... time changes again with my maternity finishing on Monday, back to my other job, my jar of buttons & my lovely little family...

Ill keep you posted!

Feeling like Bridget Jones

Post 2 :D
Amount of times I have cursed technology - lost count
I have managed to follow 4 blogs now so that is progress :D
All these stats makes me feel like the opening Chapters of Bridget Jones, topical as her 3rd book is out soon.

Technology woes aside let's talk felt much more interesting!
I'm currently working on x3 felt brooches those who know me will confirm that I like to have a couple of things on the go - my UFOs (un finished objects)

Very pleased with my pink rose, all he needs is the brooch attachment sewing on the back - I do wonder if I should felt the brooch part on too so there is no sewing, a lovely feature but I worry about the longevity - abit of product testing may be needed here.

Pink Pansy also coming on well, he turned out much smaller then expected so I started making another - to pair them up...
I think this 2nd one will become a single & Ill have to rethink a friend for the small pink one!

I do enjoy needle felting 
I hope to get them finished & to upload some photos either on here or on Facebook 

Final stat - stabbed fingers twice - ouch!
