Moving house and other musings

Wow! A lot has happened since my last blog post in June. We decided to put our house on the market at the beginning of July and as such we were very busy getting the house to look it's best. All our hard work paid off and we accepted an offer on it and started looking for our new home. Little did we know how stressful this whole adventure would become. After looking for what seems an eternity we finally saw a property that caught our eye at the beginning of August. It was outside the area we were originally looking, but after a lot of consideration we decided to have a look at it anyway as it looked perfect for what we wanted on paper. To cut a long story short after some hiccups we were able to put in an offer, in the form of a blind bid, and had it accepted.

Unfortunately about 5 weeks later our buyers decided to pull out, just as we were about to exchange contracts and we had to put our house back on the market. Luck was with us a second time and we found new buyers within a week. We are due to exchange with them in the next few days, so fingers crossed all goes okay and there aren't anymore hiccups. I must tell you though all this waiting for news is awful.

I haven't been doing much sewing lately, I've completed a few orders for my Lunar Showbands and have also started making dog show leads on request of one of my customers who wanted a few beaded show leads that would match her Lunar Showband. I decided on a slight name change for my range of showing accessories to Lunar Designs, Showing Armbands, Show Leads and Show Sets.

I have done a few more leads and matching showing armbands since. I really must try and find out the best way to market these showing armbands and show leads to the dog showing community. So far I have a facebook page and I have also added them to my Pooches Pawadise website.


Then last week I was asked to write a blog post for nametapes.info about Lunar Designs, this blog post was published today, so hopefully I will get some lovely responses from that. If you would like to see what Lunar Designs is all about please visit the blog by clicking here.

I don't think there is much more to report really, so instead I will leave you with some photos of some recent projects.
