The one thing that everyone comments on when they come into the shop is the pretty bunting we have hanging up. It was actually made by a lovely customer for our yarn bombing when we first opened the shop, but it was just too pretty to hand outside, so it went up in the shop instead. I have been making some bunting myself to add to this, as I don't think you can ever have too much bunting!
Those of you that read my last blog post, 'Moving on Up' will have read all about how I had moved into new premises and how excited I was...
Well this month I have moved again!
Yarn Shop Day... WHAT A DAY!
Oh my, it was so exciting, and overwhelming, and just so BUSY! We had advertised in the local papers, and on Facebook, so had hoped for a good turn out, but hadn't quite expected the turn out we got... Who knew 10% off and goody bags could be so exciting?!
Angela, Jo and I spent the week getting things ready, making goody bags and prettying up the shop...
This is a blog post inspired by Craftie Rie and Meet me at Mikes, who have been participating in this 'Taking stock' blog entry.
I am a bit rubbish at posting, so I thought this would be a great way to get some thoughts down and begin blogging again...
We did it!!
We ran the race and we got to our target! What a day it was, we had so much fun. Unfortunately our team, whcih started out as 7 ladies, had dwindled to just 3 by the time the day had come, with ladies dropping out for various reasons, so we had decided to take the Sconchlet round with us too, just for a bit of extra fun..
Those of you that know me personally will know I am not the most athletic of people... once upon a time, I used to be fitter. I danced 3 times a week, and enjoyed sports (I was never 'good' at sports, far from it, but I always enjoyed them). But then I got a bit poorly and it all went a bit downhill from there really...
Despite this, in 2008 I ran Race for Life with my friend Claire, and it was so much fun, not to mention having the benefit of raising money for a great cause...
As you may have noticed, we shut the shop over the Easter Weekend. The Sconch family went away for a few days! Those that know us personally and that come in to the shop will know that we don't EVER take a whole day off - we are always replying to emails, messages and processing orders. But I for one was losing the plot (more than usual) and so we decided to run away for a few days.
And I managed ONE WHOLE DAY without checking emails ;)
Well, it has been a while, hasn't it? I am a bit rubbish at this blog malarky. What with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, newsletters, as well as actually TALKING to people (I know, do people actually do that still?), the blog has taken a bit of a back seat again...
Hello!
There was really only one thing I could blog about this week... and that is Dr Who!
Yes, that is right, Dr Who. A few weeks ago, we started selling a Dr Who Scarf Pack, made up of 7 balls of Stylecraft Special DK.
Hopefully you all had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was a very exciting one with it being the first Christmas for the Sconchlet...
She was very excited and a little overwhelmed by all the piles of wrapping paper we ended up with! I was so impressed with how well she got to grips with opening her presents :)
...does you good.
Or so they say.
Well, sometimes I agree. Sometimes you have to do things which other people think are crazy. Jump right in with both hands. Seize the day and all that jazz.
Which is why this weekend we did something here at Sconch HQ that some people will consider crazy.
We moved.
That's right, - we moved! Again!
Well, not really sure what to say to be honest...
...What a week and a half! I had planned to write this post the day after the opening, and in fact had written half of it, but it has been such a whirlwind since then I never managed to finish it! And I am still feeling slightly overwhelmed by it all!
