1. Sunday Musings

   Posted on 8:38am Sunday 22nd Jan 2017

   Good morning on this Sunday morning! I’m sat here tapping away with a coffee in hand listening to the birds singing whilst the 2 girls are enjoying a little bit of iPad time, it’s a rather lovely easy Sunday morning. There’s nothing too exciting to report on our weekly roundup, we started the week with a 24hour sickness bug, got the cars exhaust fixed, treated the car to some new tyres (I know we are really spoiling this car with new crap) completed a tax return (and well in advance of the deadline) completed several orders and played with my new toy, Dyson V6, who knew vacuuming could be so exciting?

   This week I’ve decided to make a small change to our Instagram account and merge my personal page with the business page. I currently have one designated to all things KnittyKnotts and another just for family life. I kind of thought back in the summer that I should keep family life separate as it wasn’t “professional” I now think that was a bit of a pants idea and not just because I can’t be bothered to go back and forth between the accounts. Without the 2 girls KnittyKnotts wouldn’t have been started and they are the reason for this little business of mine, so why shouldn’t I share a picture of them heading off to dance class or going on little adventures? Without you lovely customers buying all things pretty the girls wouldn’t be going on adventures.  KnittyKnotts was always about running a little family business around family life, so it feels a bit daft cutting them out of the business account when deep down it’s all about them. Now don’t be worrying I won’t be plastering too many photos of home life on there it will still be predominantly little squares of embroidery. It’s just something that I feel that I want to do and I hope you will all like the little change.

   

   Right must dash, my coffee needs topping up! Have a super Sunday.

   Muchas Love

2. Weekly Round Up

   Posted on 7:48pm Sunday 15th Jan 2017

   What a week! It’s not been the best of weeks here but having said that it hasn’t been the worst either. It’s hard to describe how it’s left me feeling other than saying “Blurgh”.   By the time the weekend was here I was more than ready for it, only that didn’t go as swimmingly as I would have hoped, but I guess that’s what you call balance. The week started with the best of intentions. Mondays are a Mummy and Eva day and we had so much fun just playing, doing boring housework and just being at home (turns out shes pretty niffty with a steam cleaner). From Monday evening the wheels kind of fell off and it was a slippery slope from there. Basically I’ve known I’ve had Eva this week and for 2 of those days she was at Pre School. Her behaviour has been somewhat out of character especially when I use the one word 99% of toddlers hate. NO! (I know what a dickhead of a parent I am for saying the word no to a threenanger).  I will let her off to a certain degree because she has been suffering with allergies but still she’s been somewhat difficult. On the plus side Lizzie has been the perfect daughter, every cloud and all that!

     

   Anyway cut through to the weekend and the car thought it would throw a bit of a wobble just for sheer fun of it, the exhaust fall off on the way home from visiting family late Saturday night, in the dark, in the cold. I swear that car will be like a brand new car the amount of work it’s had done to it over the past 12 months.

   By the time Sunday has come round a day at home with the sister in law was just the tonic that we needed. In all the doom and gloom of the week (and the blog if I don’t stop these negative vibes) it’s been a good one too. New products have been added to the website, lots of orders have been placed but most importantly my father in law is being a model patient after having a knee replacement and is doing rather well. So all is well really.

       

   I’m hoping next week runs a little more smoothly just so that I can recover from this week.

   Muchas Love
