Bank Holidays and Birthdays

It's been a busy weekend here as Drew celebrated his birthday last Friday then our younger son, Jack, celebrated his 12th birthday on Saturday.  There has been lots of cake and good food. Oh and we did go swimming and played foorball and frisbee in the park to burn off all that cake! Family time is so important, especially when you're busy working and trying to just stay on top of everything. 



Cake made for Drew by Connor & Lucy


 I took some time out this weekend too after a busy couple of weeks and feel alot better for doing so.  Taking some time to stop helps me think of new ideas, although this can be dangerous, but I am learning to reign them in and only do about 10% of what I think of! I now have lots of ideas for designs and products but am pondering whether to try and streamline in to collections or product lines or to just try a few things out and see how it goes.  I guess the latter is the way to go as a new business but when you've been looking at how other businesses do things you realise how many have fixed collections or product ranges. So much to consider!

I hope you all managed to enjoy a rest and some time away from the office or studio this weekend.  Bank holidays are a strange concept for the self employed.

Have a fab week, last one of the school holidays.

Take care

Fabric Friday - Bunting



I will appologise now for this quick Fabric Friday post, but life is busy here! With all this talk of Birthdays and as it's August Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK I thought I'd feature some gorgeous fabric bunting.

Summer Birthdays

Today is my wonderful husbands birthday. He is the love of my life, best friend and my rock. Thankfully he is also incredibly laid back and puts up with my madcap ideas and continual indecisiveness!  However the celebrations do not end at midnight as our second son will turn eleven tomorrow, missing sharing his birthday with his daddy by fifteen minutes.  I cannot believe my energetic little bundle of curly hair is now almost as tall as me and starting High School next week.  He is still full of bounce but is also incredibly intelligent, creative and a fantastic sportsman, with the world at his feet and still believing that dreams do come true.

So in honour of my boys I am going in search of some fabulous birthday decorations and cards, care to join me, we'll stop for a nice cuppa tea and cake on the way.



























As you can see there are some fantastic decorations and stationery to make your party extra special!

This is just the tip of the iceberg, Etsy has some fab stuff for parties and Folksy is catching up fast.
