DISPLAY BOARD

Today I will be making a 'display board' for the shop.
The idea is to be able to show customers what I have made in the past, and how I can put names on cot quilts, runners and so on.

So yesterday I went out and bought these to make the display board with:

 ABOVE: These clear pockets to put photos in.  They are neat cos I can take the photos out and replace them with new ones when I want.

ABOVE: This is a school display board.  Most kids use them to display science projects and such like.  It's perfect for my purpose too.
As it folds up, it won't take up any room when not in use in the shop.

I also use one for taking photos... well I did till I lost it!  I bought 2 yesterday, one for my display board, and one for the backdrop for me photos.

ABOVE:  I am thrilled to bits with the new printer!  These photos will be going in the clear pockets and then on the display board.

I'm still working on how to set it up.  So let's wait and see how it turns out... it will be a process over a couple of days probably.

I hope to get to the lounge flower arrangement sometime today too.

But for now... I'm gunna roll over and have another hour or so of sleep.

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

11.22 am:  And although it's a really wet, horrible day, I got customers.
One was a lady who was here a couple of days ago, who said she would be back today.

And she was.  And she brought anther friend with her.  And they spent a LONG time in the shop, and they both eventually spent some money.  AND they are coming back again on Monday to pick up an order!  *smiles*

I've started on two wonky house runners.  They will take me a few days to get done.  But will be a welcome addition to my runner collection, which is woefully low.

*** Got one ready to stitch ***

Oh man I  had forgotten how much was involved with Wonky House Runners!  So much time to get the colours right.  But, for now I've got ONE ready for stitching:

ABOVE:  I love how they "POP" once I've done the stitching...lol, clearly NOT done yet.  I'll probably work on it again tomorrow, for now my back is KILLING me from standing and cutting/placing little bits of fabric down.

ABOVE:  Stew is at work, Brylee is at work and my car is in the garage... so PLENTY of parking for customers!  And they do drive in and park.  *smiles*

I thought our home in Cambridge had an amazingly big car parking area, but this one does too.  How lucky can ya get?

So very lucky about so many things with our new home.  Sometimes I feel kinda tearful thinking about how lucky we are to have found this house, and secured it during a very HOT and FAST market.

Neighbours 2 doors down just put their home on the market today.  The estate agents went through at 9 am and by 11 am the huge sign was out the front!  Let's see  how long it takes to sell.

Lacy is on her way around for a visit.  Once she's been I have a small shopping list. Mostly black thread for the Wonky House Runners.  I go through MASSES and MASSES of black thread!

3.55 pm: OMG I'm knackered.  I got what I needed at the shops then got home just before the traffic got nuts.
I've now got 90 minutes to relax before I have to start dinner.
Oh ya.

And... I didn't cook afterall.  We got KFC, first time in what?  3 Months?  It was lovely.

Then watched some You Tube videos, and now I'm waiting for Coronation Street to start, then I'll be off to bed.
