Headless chicken moi?

We are still planning our Yarnival and in between writing and testing patterns, making bunting (commission), emailing stall holders, copious amounts of paper work (good grief - whoda thunked it that a fun day playing with wools and yarns would be so grown up and include insurance, risk assessments and health and safety forms - gah!) ordering and unpacking the most delicious alpaca yarns - I decided that I didn't really have enough on my plate so started this.....

Poor old Eldest, he was at home while his younger brother was off out on a jolly with a mate, so he was press-ganged invited to help - you should have seen the world-weary teenage-look he gave me as I tried to explain that I wanted to turn this unpromising looking unit into a something I could use on my stand at the Yarnival festival.

Any way several coats of paint later (and mugs of tea and chocolate for bribery - him and medicinal purposes - me...... you understand of course.....erhem) it was finally done.

Well - what do you think?? I am pleased with it and it holds some of the wools and yarns I am selling - now need to sort out the rest of my stand.

Oh, and in between all of the above, the catlings had to go to the vet to be speyed - so they are now sporting the clipped-on-the-one-side-look, I had to go to the doctor for a check up on my grumpy knee (verdict? - yes it is still grumpy) and now I have to take the knee off to physio. Fortunately my folks have stepped into the breach and are driving me all over the place - I still can't drive! ***I will be so glad when my knee is less grumpy and more co-operative***

Any way - must dash - lots still to do but thought I would leave you with this happy image of my two catlings before their 'close-shave-at-the-vets-that-meant-no-food-passing-their-lips' a story I will share with you - I promise!

Hope the beginning of your week was as happy and carefree - love and woolly thoughts - hawthorn xxxx
