What I've been doing instead of Blogging

Hello

Another long blogging gap, once again life and work have got in the way of blogging and I have to admit I have kind of got out of the habit of posting here. Hopefully I'll get back into the habit and be more frequent with my posting again soon.

I did make some clothes for the boys during kids clothes week, photos of which I will take shortly and post up here and in the Flickr Group, some of the items were more successful than others The T-shirt with lots of cute details that was just too small to fit over baby A's head (no matter how hard I tried) was one of the less successful ones!

I have finally got my trade prices, terms and conditions sorted, got my products photographed and put together a trade catalogue, which I'm really pleased with.

And Lastly I've been really busy with the North Rock Gallery business and am excited to say that we have launched our new website complete with online shopping facility today, so please go and have a browse and tell your friends its there and we ship worldwide.

I will be back with some more Phatsheep news and pics shortly.

S

Yes I'm still here!

If any of you are still reading this blog, thank you and a big sorry for being so slow at posting.

What have I been doing? well I have been busy :)

The shop has been very busy over the summer months and manning the counter and keeping the shop well stocked has kept me busy but lately this little man has kept me very busy:

Alfie was born early September and not much crafting, sewing or designing has been done since. However today I have managed to update my Etsy fabric shop with the full range of PhatSheep Fabrics.

Those of you in the UK and especially Scotland will be able to purchase Phatsheep products and fabric packs at the Country Living Fair Scotland 19-22nd November at the SECC.

I will be exhibiting as part of the textile collective I am a member of, we call ourselves Text-Isles, we are a group of Shetland based textile designers who sometimes work together and collaborate on projects. To find out more about us all have a look at our lovely new website Text-Isles.

Unfortunately I am not going to be at the Country Living Fair - I didn't think I'd be much good at sales and stand preperation with a tiny baby strapped to my front! but please go and say hello to the other Text-Isles girls, we are on stand G35.

News...

Once again its been a long time between posts, I've been busy with the shop, which is going well I'm pleased to say, and we spent the last week of June at the Flavour of Shetland Event on Victoria Pier, a great event this year, especially with the lovely hot weather.

I've managed to get meterage of cotton satin (upholstery weight fabric) in both the Croft House print and the Fair Isle Jumper print available for sale in the North Rock Gallery Shop and soon to be in the Etsy shop which has been sadly neglected over the past few weeks.

I'm looking forward to seeing what people make with the fabric I've sold so far and I'm aiming to make a blind for the new nursery in the next few weeks.....thats some more news I've not shared on the blog yet. Baby no2 is due to make an appearance at the end of August.

I'm desperately trying to build up stock now as I know there will be no time for sewing in the months after baby arrives, but its been hard to sit indoors when the sun has been shining and we've had a bit of a heatwave ( in Shetland terms), however the weather is back to normal again so back to the workshop for me...

Serious lack of blogging..

Hello, sorry for the lack of posting, its been busy around here. To see what I've been up to check out this

North Rock Gallery Blog

Way to long between posts again.....

Oops where has time gone!? again its been far to long between blogging posts.

I have some exciting news, my partner and have signed the lease on a property on our local high street, we got the keys last week.... we are going to open our own little gallery and shop!!!! very exciting and a bit scary, seems like a very grown up thing to do.
During the last month there has been a lot of planning and now we've got the keys its re-decoration time, with all family members helping to fix up the property ready for our proposed opening in a few weeks time.
We've started a little blog about the gallery and shop, which we're going to call North Rock Gallery, you can check it our here.

So apologies if I've been a very absent blogger but I have been busy!

Also there are more fabrics listed in the Etsy shop and some more to follow shortly.

Lastly Happy Easter everyone :)
