(lots of finished things to buy eg. Handwarmers, Cashmere Hats, Throws, Slippers, Scarves, Socks, this Jacket and the pink one in the background below - hope it's given you some ideas)

Open House Launch

Well, the Open House launch was a huge success, I nearly forgot to take photos, but I remembered at the last minute. Also Nathan took a few in the evening for me.

I would like to say first of all (I'll come to Trudi later) a huge thank you to Caroline, Marjorie and Denise who inspired me to pick myself up and get on and do the Open House.

Thank-you also to Ruth and Jane who brought (and baked) some wonderful goodies - as you can see below

Thank you Alison for helping with tea and coffee, how could I have managed without?!!!

Thank you Maggie and Linda for the little gifties

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME AND MADE THE DAY SUCH A SUCCESS 

 There was lots of wine and nibbles, these cakes and lots of savouries, scones and cream meringues.

 These photos were taken in the evening, so a little dark, but it will give you an idea of what things we have 'in store'

When I asked his mum if I could put this photo of this young man on the blog, he was so excited and said 'I am going to be famous'....lets hope so.  ps you can see a wee bit of the liitle woolfish shop in the background

My biggest BIGGEST Thank you to my best, favouritest (and only) daughter Trudi who worked so hard to help me make the day the success it was.
Today though, she phoned me and she was so upset because this Chronic Fatigue is back with a vengeance,-yesterday she felt good, but today she could hardly walk, with every part of her body aching, its like being back at square one. It doesn't do much to your confidence,(or your head) she is now wondering if she is ever going to get better, but that is the nature of the beast. She will get better ( the doc came round today and said they can't do anything but it will work out in time)but at this present moment in time she doesn't believe it.
I would love to wave a magic wand and wish it all away, BUT, ........ it could be much worse!!!!!!!.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooops that was a bit negative after such a good day,
It was a great day and thank you all for making it so.
and a big big thank you to all those who couldn't be there but sent their best wishes.
Luv
Louise

And if you share our blog with all your friends, they can come too and 

it might turn into a 

grand old woolly knees-up, yay!

Ooooooooohhh, can't wait 'till next Sunday, see you there.

Fishy Assistants and Consultants!

The big fish had a business lunch on Wednesday with her wonderful, fandabbydozey, best-thing-since-sliced-bread(well the big fish seems to think so anyway!) consultant:

Okaaay, so yes, her consultant IS her daughter Trudi aka wee fish.....but she does seem to do a reasonable job - consulting not daughtering!
So as a result of the big fish getting organized you may have noticed that the website is undergoing a few changes and our apologies for any awkwardnesses you may have come across but sometimes it gets higglety-pigglety before it can get streamlined - just like us really - but Louise's assistant is sorting it all out:

When we keep her from being distacted that is! 

Oooooh, ball of WOOL! Plotting attack route...

So there you have it, website being renewed, blog getting regular posts and the big fish being nagged for more retreat dates......the assistant and consultant have it all under control...ish!

The Big Fish Saw Stonehenge.....

......just!

On her way home from her adventures in quiltland......

 

.....where these lovely quilts were on display, made by this colourful gentleman (who we might be seeing again soon slightly closer to home( keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks to find out what I mean!))....

Kaffe Fassett - look at the colours, wowzer!

....she spotted this:

What the big fish saw

'Eh?', I hear you say. Try this:

I zoomed in but no.... no idea.

Oh, I think she sort of, from a distance, saw this:

Not quite what the big fish managed to capture!

So the big fish was thrilled that she saw Stonehenge...sort of, maybe she was squinting a bit!
