A new year...

The 20th of January already and not a single post in the diaries... I had my 43rd birthday. Seen here making the important wish! The girls made me a wonderful birthday tea!

Many fine boots and shoes have been made already and posted out! Mr F and I are really getting into a good routine between us. It feels good to be more organized for work and gives me a sense of order rather than chaos!

Mr Fs barn is still ongoing, but is going well! Next job is doors at both ends, then sorting out an electricity supply. That can be translated as HUGE bill approaching!...

And after dealing with all that muddle in my over filled head I have other news...

Fingers crossed in 2013 Fairysteps will have a new twice the size workshop! Woo Hoo! A dedicated work space that the whole household will not be trudging through, an area clearly divided for very efficient working... with a view to, who knows? Possibly having paid help as we get steadily busier and the business grows. Exciting stuff!

Ive been out mentally chalking up the site planning whats going where, and wondering will I have room for a little tub chair by the fire for tea breaks? And can I fit more leather and wool in?

And we woke to snow! Lots of snow! And its still all out there after 3 days...

Narnia...

Littlest and Daddy made a snowman (Mr Tubby) and a little snowdog!

And now, on this cold and bright Sunday I am heading for my sitting room fire and my knitting! I shall finish my cardigan by sewing on the buttons and then plough on with the blanket...

Have a fun one chaps! Ren x
