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...
