This year I thought that I would be organised and had several customer newsletters prepared to send out pre-Christmas to encourage people to buy their presents . . .well I needn't have bothered!
It has been so busy - with well over 100 orders coming in a day for the past week - that I daren't risk sending any of the newsletters out! I'm now glad that I didn't take out any Christmas adverts!
In fact Valerie and I shall be having a meeting first thing on Monday morning to decide whether we need to stop taking orders for certain things . . . . we can't risk not being able to fulfill orders and there is a limit to how fast even supersonic sewers and packers like us can work!
So now I'm off back to my machine to start work on embroidering some glasses cases . . . probably one of the things we shall have to take off the website on Monday!
wow! although its an awful lot of hard work. Well done to you. So lovely to see hard working independent businesses doing so well. Many congratulations xx

Phew, luckily I ordered my glasses case last night, having coveted one for many months!

Glad it's going well - just hang on in there and think about the break you will get at Christmas!
