Change of plan...

Keflüti's folksy store opening, which was due to take place this month (July), will sadly be postponed until further notice... 
for T and I are moving in together!!! :)

The past few weeks have been occupied with finding a location we like, (closer to where T works), and house-hunting, hence no blog posts and few Facebook/Twitter updates. We are now back in the throws of house-hunting again, after the purchase of our preferred property fell through earlier this week :(

Since T is also a graphic designer and a budding photographer, our number one requirement of a property, is a studio space which hopefully, once we're settled, will allow me to be much more productive (since I currently work between the dining room table and the sofa!!)

What with all that has been going on, plus work being much busier than usual, I have inevitably been suffering from creative block. However, with a constant need for greetings cards, and my subscription to Craftseller magazine enthusing me by providing copyright-free papers and card designs, (amongst many other things), I'm enjoying a new found, stress-busting yet creative activity...

In addition to this, I have completed a third patch for NFU Countryside's Knitting Project...

which I'm quite proud of, since I had to work out how to extend the diamond pattern, this being the first time I've 'designed' a knitting pattern!
 

I can't promise to be any more productive both creatively or socially over the next few weeks than of late, for obvious reasons, but I am hoping to use any time I have, to build stock and design new products for the imminent launch of Keflüti's folksy store... I'll keep you posted...

Keep checking back both on here, Facebook and Twitter to see what I've been up to...

Many thanks for your continued support!

Abby :)
