Wishing for more time...

I had hoped to announce the opening of our on-line shop with this post, but it seems I will have to wait a little longer...  Our website is almost ready and now needs checking.  As soon as the ordered stock arrives,  we will be able to "open".

I hope you had a nice Easter break. I have heard that many had a lot of snow but here, on the Isle of Wight, it was just cold and quite miserable...

Because of the building of our shop's website and extra hours to cover illness at work, these last four weeks have gone at incredible speed. My poor knitting has been seriously neglected and, once again, I have nothing to show!...  I stole some time though to read your blogs and I am itching to start knitting again after seeing all your new projects!   A shawl would be perfect for this time of year. I have got the yarn and the pattern. Now I need the time...

A new venture...

I am afraid that I have NO knitting to report!...

The first week was the children school holidays which, as usual, do not permit much leisure time.

The following week  my brother and his wife came to visit from France for a week and time was spent catching up on all the news from home and shopping till they dropped.

This week my sister-in-law and I are working flat out to put the final touches to a new venture:  an on-line yarn shop!  This big project has been on our minds for a while and we have decided to take the plunge and have a go. This is a huge project for us, exciting and frightening at the same time. Between making our first big order, building the website, making phone calls, taking notes of all the details and carrying on with work and family day to day needs, life has become quite manic....

I do apologise if I have not visited as many blogs as usual and took some time to answer your e-mails. I should think that we will be ready to "open" in a couple of weeks, maybe less. I will let you know when the time comes. In the meantime, I am still visiting your blogs, keeping up with your news and admiring your creations even if I don't always find the energy to leave a comment. When I have more free time, I will catch up. It is a promise!...
