A Memorable Week

Ive had a very busy and productive week, but definitely a memorable one!! Monday the BOM quilt went to the shop, so all that was left to do was the patterns (all 21 of them!!!!) and finally they r all ready for sale....and ive sold some already, which is fantastic!! Heres a pic of it in shop:
Sally is relocating the store in the next few weeks, so it will get its own wall in the new shop. But its great, as soon as u walk in the door u see it!!!

Big news on the personal front, Tuesday i resigned from work!!! For those of u who know me well and love me in spite of it, once i make up my mind to do something....i just do it!!!! I had had enough of the job and it was time to move onto a new phase in my life.......i want to spend more time with the family and expand my business (i have a few new plans in the pipeline, which im excited about)..........but i didnt stay unemployed for long, Sally offered me a couple of days a week, working in the quilt shop (after she has relocated).........now who could say NO to working in a quilt shop???? is it really work??? lol

I also had the pleasure of meeting with one of my fellow bloggers Jenny, earlier in the week. She is a lovely lady and wonderful to chat to. We had some hot chocolate at this cute little restaurant and chatted for an hour and a half about blogging and families. It was great how we knew things about each other, yet we had never met..... all thanks to blogging!!!

Havent had a lot of time to actually sew anything but now the patterns r done, ill spend the weekend sewing....hope u guys do as well!!!

take care

  1. How cool! you've sold some BOM patterns already! Told you it would be a hit :o)

    Wish you all the best for your future plans! It will be fun to see what you have up your sleeve *lol*

    Take care, sweetie! And have fun sewing this weekend! (I still have some writing to do... - but hopefully there'll be time for a stitch or two...)

  2. Ohh I do love your new blog look, very nice. Now how exciting is that, patterns already sold and a new job to boot. If you can call it a job, I think it will be more fun than work.

  3. It must feel so wonderful to see your quilt up in the shop. Congratulations!! I might just need to learn to do stitchery :))

    Congratulations on your future endeavors. Good for you to resign from a job that didn't satisfy you and do what you love. Life if far too short and unpredictable to spend time unhappy.

  9. How wonderful! No more 9 to 5, or whatever it is down under. And work in a quilt shop! You'll be able to talk with people and find out what they wish they had. =) I look forward to seeing your next patterns and ideas!
