Hi everyone,
Well, its Friday evening and I can only apologise for not blogging for some time. I have been uber-busy with wedding plans, only 8 weeks to go and still sooo much to do.
On a business level I have been making some changes, as I had been in the process of having a website built by a local firm, however after six months, and much liaison it was still not ready, so I have thrown in the towel there and created my own in just a few hours, thanks to MrSite, who wholeheartedly endorse. Will spend the weekend uploading photographs and pray for hits!
Have been successful in securing some business with a small gallery in nearby Holmfirth (where Last of the Summer Wine is filmed) and as it’s a touristy, pretty place I am hoping to have many reasons to trip off there on a sunny day with a basket full of goodies, and stop off for afternoon tea….. I don’t need many excuses do I?
Must, oh must start making my wedding dress soon, the fabric is staring at me from the corner of my workshop when I go in. I have been a little naughty on the saturated fat front over the last two weeks..ie cake and more cake, oh and cornetto’s too, only a pound off at fat club…me thinks I may be using all the bridal fabric up, and not having huge lengths left over!
Back to the website… got a wicked shopping trolley to add to the gallery… Being as we all need to walk more and use the car less, I bought a bog standard trolley, and as theyre all tartan, covered it lovingly with some Cath Kidston fabric in blue and pink roses. Well, went into town with the prototype, and about six women stopped me and asked where it was from..(gave out my number) and one woman said ‘I want to order one here and now’ and I hadn’t even worked out a cost! (Will try to add snap of the said trolley on my websites ‘odds and ends’ page).
I go to sleep wondering what else I can cover with vintage or vintage style fabric…can I get tablets for this affliction?
Nighty night

Hi Sue - I've just had a look at your web site - it is going to be a good one! I'll keep on checking to watch your progress.
You are a busy lady - all that and a weddin dress too. I want to see pics of finished dress and bride!
Hello Sue, I seem to only just have 'found' you but you seem a kindred spirit. I got married myself last year (April 2006) at age 48, nearly 49! (third marriage). I also tried to lose weight for the wedding and was pleased to lose a stone, which I have now put back on except for about 3 lbs! I hope all goes well for your arrangements - an exciting time! I will have a look at your website now. I was most impressed that someone stopped you in the street and wanted to buy your trolley!
PS oh pretty page - is that all so far? i will come back soon and hope to see more.
thanks for your lovely comments folks.... wishing i could squeeze loads more in for the wedding reception, I'd invite you all!!!
