We had an amazing time at FibreFest 2009 last weekend and met a lot of fellow Ravelry folk, friends and Twitterers! Our new collection was given centre stage on the stand and we’ll be launching it at the end of this week on the website. We’ve now unpacked all the markers and restocked the website with a few new goodies, including

Taking Stock
It’s been a busy few weeks with the end of the accounting year, which means the dreaded annual stock take that can take from a few hours to a few days. As each year goes by the number of beads to count gets higher! Anyway, I think I’m done now, so that’s out of the way for another year.
Also been spending a fair bit of time getting organised for the Wonderwool 09 event in Builth Wells at the end of the month. The stall structure is now in place, as is the lighting and now it’s just making sure I have enough stock to take. The stall will be a mix of loose beads and pendants, jewellery, wool, needles, stitch markers and accessories – so quite a few things to sort out!

It’s All Gone A Bit Cupcake!
OK well I think it’s now verging on an obsession…cake….well cupcakes to be exact. I’ve always loved making them, and sometimes they get iced if they are around long enough before I eat them.
And then of course I happen across these tea towels whilst out shopping yesterday, which I have of course dedicated to my pink themed utility room.

Snow Days
What a weird week! Snow, Ice, uncertainty on travel conditions including both Severn bridges being shut, and still getting over a nasty chest infection. Normality and routine are nowhere in sight!
The chooks woke up to this, and refused to step outside for any food, which just resulted in me feeling extremely sorry for them and making them porridge in their eglu or should that be igloo!
I had been following the snow events on Twitter, which was fascinating to see the use of the #uksnow tag and the amazing Ben Marsh who created a real time map of where it was snowing – brilliant – I love Twitter!
