Back to it.

We've started back at work this week and I'm feeling all the better for the three weeks of rest and quilting. 

I'm finally able to look at a yearly planner and think about workshops and courses.  I'm pencilling in dates, moving them around and thinking about new workshop ideas.  And tomorrow the lovely web-techie guy is coming to discuss web-techie things for the website. 

We're also updating the pattern information for the Pattern Review shop and updating the STOCKIST list, so you'll know where to source my patterns and supplies.  (NOTE: Pattern Review is at least another week or so off being up-to-date.  It's a complicated process to upload all the information)

Lots of work that is quite invisible, on the surface of things....

 And there was a bit of a reworking in the showroom late on Monday night, with more shelving, the shiny new patterns and everything moved around (so the girls couldn't find anything when they came in to work on Tuesday... oops!).

 Some bargains are to be had for in-store shoppers...

(Excuse the poor light in these shots.  I only thought to snap a few haphazard shots this evening before I left for home.)

 And I have ideas a-brewing for a new pattern.  Thanks to my assistant, I also have a booklet in which to write it down.  (Yes, she's now making kits for me to make kits... spot the kid who has grown up surrounded by craft...)

 For the hour before I left tonight, I allowed myself a spot of sewing time, to work through a few of those pattern ideas.  A reward for an otherwise non-creative few days.... and I'm itching to get back to it.

It's good to be back where I belong.
