Flying time

Time has really flown by since my last post so I must make an effort to write something more frequently. As they say time flies when you are having fun and I am definitely having fun and meeting some lovely people.
On Wednesday evening I attended the monthly meeting of Malvern Mumpreneurs a group I joined two years ago just after it was set up, it is a lovely relaxed informative venue, Mums in business sharing their knowledge experiences and relating to the challenges of working whilst bringing up a family. Last nights meeting was a revelation to me a technophobe who struggles with some basic issues of how to use social media to promote my business, so armed with lots of notes this weekend if I can find my lap top I hope to face my fears and work out how to link my business facebook page to my blog, Twitter, Etsy and everything else I have signed up to, now if I could just remember my passwords......

Celebrations

We had a little excitement over the weekend a visit to Leeds to celebrate the 30th birthday of our eldest son Robert, which was held at Neon Cactus a Mexican bar in the city centre. It was a surprise party for him arranged by Rachel his wife. He was surprised but very happy to see all his friends and of course his family. We drove up and back the same evening so Sunday was a quiet recovery day. I now know I am far too old to join in the evening scene and far too young to have a 30 year old son!

O Sew Chic is now open!

It is now the end of the third day in my new shop O Sew Chic and I am very tired but loving it. Luckily I have an able assistant, my husband Bob, to bale me out when I need a moment and to give advice of the financial variety. He is also great at hanging pictures!
I had intended to start my blog with the build up towards the opening, but as they say all good intentions..... so instead I hope to keep you up to date as things progress.
We have had some interesting people chatting to us whilst browsing in the shop and have made a few sales, hoorah! Everyone has been very kind wishing us good luck with the business and promising to come back. Which I am sure they will and I am looking forward to meeting a lot more people.
I hope you will keep popping in to read my blog and take a look at the lovely things I have in my shop.
Bye for now Kerrie
