Back To Work

So, it seems the theme of March is me being ill! Not fun.

My shops have all been closed for a few days this week while I took some time off, but I've now re-opened my main shop (hurrah!), and I'm making a start on slowly catching up with all my emails, etc. My folks are kindly helping me pack and post orders, so don't worry, parcels will be sent out as normal :)

I haven't even managed to do any knitting this week, I've just slept lots and snoozed on the sofa while half-watching and half-listening to lots of DVDs. Luckily I'd just ordered a whole stack of box sets for me & my mum to watch before I got sick, so I've had plenty of stuff to keep me entertained.

I really miss making things, though! It also feels super weird taking so much time off from work (I am such a workaholic, it's the curse of being self-employed, I think?) but happily my boss (who is me) is very sympathetic, haha. 

In other non germ-related news... do you remember me blogging earlier this year about a new craft book that features a couple of projects designed by me? It's called So Pretty! Felt, it's published by Chronicle Books and it's out now. Yay! 

It's available from Amazon USA & Amazon UK and lots of other book stores.

I'll be blogging a bit more about it sometime soon - it's such a nice book, I'm so thrilled to have been a part of it :)

Also, did you see this lovely-looking new magazine, Made in Paper? 

It's out now and the nice people at Mollie Makes have five copies to give away (open to readers in the UK only).
