Why open my soul?

I'm Back!

Firstly,

I must apologise for the large gaps in frequency in my postings. Things were hectic leading up to Christmas. I also must confess that I have become obsessed with finishing this baby blanket. I started sewing the squares together over the weekend and think I am ruining it. Must do stripes next time to avoid having to join them up after. I have also found pretty easy patterns for booties and baby hats.

I was really looking forward to a break over Christmas. So I did very little over the break except prepare the flat by making room for a cot. I am not doing any trade shows in January so I have also been busy finishing the catalogue we are sending out to all our customers. Thought it might be a little too much heading to Paris on my own 8 months pregnant to stand on my feet for 5 long days smiling.

I have also been working on a collaboration with Designer Rugs to create a range of étoile home rugs. I am really excited about these they will come in loads of colours and sizes because they will be made to order.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to write this blog every Sunday evening after hopefully a very inspirational and exciting weekend to write about. Will try not to disappoint.
Until next Sunday.
