Big weekend ahead.....

Well, not really. But big for a mum of two who doesn't get out (childless) very much.
Dinner tonight with my hubby to celebrate my birthday this week. Then helping with a friends baby shower Sunday. Monday, hubby goes to OZ for 4 and a half days.
I also need to make 50 frames for a bunch (30 or so) of bv preschoolers ready by Wed for them to cover in pasta and then I'll spray paint silver.
I've also got an 'elmunt' underway which I'd like to have completed early in the week. And I need to finish making my boys' waterproof overpants ready for creche Monday morning. Just the waistbands and the youngest one's straps to go.
Not a heap of work but when you consider it with all the other usual duties of home life (and factor in some sleeping time etc) there's not a lot of free time.

I got all inspired with my knitting this week and splashed out buying a pattern for myself for a wrap around cardi type garment that the byline says: "Make it once, wear it 12 ways". This is a bit misleading as when you look inside the pattern, there are actually only 6 ways to wear the garment but you have short or long. It will probably take 3 years or so to make but it will be a good challenge and fortunately it's a style that will not go out of fashion for a while.

In other news, I have secured a new email address specifically for be/loved, so if you have any queries please direct them to: cpbeloved@gmail.com
My graphic designer has almost completed the work on the new label so I hope to have that in hand soon with business cards, product labels and of course put it up on the blog profile.
Enjoy your weekend, it's been a lovely sunny week for the most part.

all ago...go

Short post as need to get on to my knitting.
Got some great advice from some retailers who really know their stuff - along the lines of what I had been thinking plus some more and overall it was really encouraging.
It has motivated me to keep building up my stock supplies as well as checking out possible sales options.
So, in the pipeline are some sweet little felt bird (and/or farm animal) mobiles, some more vintage-style soft toys and a couple of requests from some friends.

All the while continuing to plan and dream and source and design and....look after my boys.
Will keep you posted.
