Well after two busy months of not updating anything on my blog it seems timely that I should at last get round to posting something. October was busy and somewhat fraught as my telephone line went ‘down’ and I had two weeks without the use of the internet. I really felt bereft…whatever did we do before all this connectivity!
The last three months have been very busy - sales have been on the up and I have been increasing my stock.
New in is Debbie Bliss’ Cashmerino DK, Cashmerino Aran and Luxury Tweed Aran. All these have now been uploaded to my website and I have produced a FREE Baby Jacket pattern to go with the Cashmerino Aran.

Christmas is fast approaching and I have kits for sale that are going well.
I have also been working on spring designs for the magazines and have recently signed a book contract with a well known publisher. This will take all my ‘spare’ time for the next few months.
Designing for spring and summer brings home the reality that this summer was - in terms of 'sun' - a non event. Although it may be seasonal to be dreaming of a ‘White Christmas’ my dreams are currently wandering further afield to sun drenched beaches, romantic dinners on the patio, and lazy days wandering around French markets. Bring it on!!!
But first there is Christmas. The new love in my life ‘Pinterest’ (www.pinterest.com) has proven to be a tremendous help in that respect… I have downloaded all sorts of ideas for the ultimate homemade and vintage Christmas. Yesterday I was cutting out free printable tags, and I have tried my hand at bird seed feeders. So now you all know what you’re getting for Christmas!!!
