Today is the day...

The old website has had a bit of a facelift. It really did need a lick of paint and we are putting the new improved website up later today. Fingers crossed that we haven't vanished into cyber space ...

All being well the website should be easier to view (please let me know if it isn't!).
Despite the Summer go slow I have had a few hairy moments with stocks running low. All orders have now been dispatched, and if you were one of the people who had to wait a couple of days extra for your blankets thank you for being patient. I hope all your babies love their new blankets!

I have had a long think and I have decided to scrap delivery charges on a permanent basis. To be honest I hate shopping on the web only to discover I have to pay more at checkout.

There are still a couple more weeks left of our Summer discount, so if you want to stock up on fluffy things, now is the time. Be aware that it may be a week before we can dispatch your order as we are in the very last throes of the Summer holidays. It may not be hot but we might be out jumping in puddles or something.

I am too ashamed to post a picture ...

I was watching Little Tee (my littlest little one) pretending his TeddySkin blanket was sand and stuffing it into an empty waste paper bin and turning the waste paper bin upside down and patting its base vigorously (like a beach bucket) as the blanket flumped out in a dishevelled heap he proudly announced that he had made a castle... it never fails to amaze me how much amusement his blankie gives him. I am also fascinated by the fact that he actually calls it a 'Cuggy'. As I don't own a copy of 'Timid Tim and the Cuggy Thief' I have just ordered a copy (second hand from Amazon market place) .... but I digress... Little Tee owns the first TeddySkin blanket I ever made and although it's design has changed a little, it remains in essence the same. His total and utter love of it is is really touching. However despite the many priceless moments of watching him play with it I am too ashamed to post a picture of it here because after a couple of days of being dragged around it really is a disgrace. In fairness it washes up clean and fluffy and smelling sweetly of fresh laundry (which he doesn't seem to mind)... but in between its frequent washes is another story.

Summer Go Slow...

It would be lovely if I could put the Summer go slow down to sizzling hot summer days, but it is simply that from our (slightly wet) hide away in North Wales, the school holidays and having to juggle work and family something has got to give. I am not complaining too much about the weather as we escaped to France for a couple of weeks, which has given me lots of French inspiration (but no time to put my ideas into action).
The website is being overhauled and the new TeddySkins are on the drawing board (or rather on the cutting table) ready to be added to the website next month.
I will also be adding our amazing fleece bibs next month. These bibs do deserve to be described as amazing because they really resist stains, even after they have been bombarded with tomato, carrot or any other scary mess.
