Stopping by to say Hi....and an update!

We went to the road race in Glasgow for the games....

fun but wet.

Had some great days at the beach in Largs 

with friends it's great living by the sea!

Hope decided to get a fringe....

Back to school!

Also some work along the way.....

It has been........Far too long!

Viewpoint at the back of Largs.

We have had some great weather!

Time is in short supply these days and

blogging is practically non existant.

So I think from now on it may be more and more infrequent.

However thought I'd share a few pics 

from things that have been happening......

Met up with Daisy and John at Wool on the wall.

My niece Martha had her 2nd birthday(well one of) party at ours.

Fun helping friends in Lochwinnoch 

clear their bracken jungle.

Another great day!

Out for brekkie.....such fun!

and lots of work.....

Slowly moving my shop to Etsy so lots of new

things to dye and packs to make with the help

of Vicky and Rita.

Unpacking and fleecy purchases.......

Woolfest 2014.....what fun!

Another brilliant show in Cockermouth,

the organizers work so hard to create really a

fabulous wooly experience.

We were even busier than last year, and thrilled that

so many of last years customers and our online

customers popped by to say hello.

It was also great to meet many new creative people.

Sadly we were so busy I never managed a pic with

 Rita, Vicky and myself on the stand.

Now to the unpacking........
