<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WARNING .... this could be a long post so you might want to get a cuppa and a biscuit before settling down to read it !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OK - are you ready ?? Then I'll begin ...</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I haven't been around for a while, I haven't been able to tell you the exciting news ... we're moving !! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, after 3 brilliant years in our little <a href="http://www.pictureitinstitches.blogspot.co.uk/p/our-home.html" target="_blank">purpose built Shedquarters</a> in my garden, we are now bursting at the seams and working not only from Shedquarters, but also using my summerhouse as a storage unit and renting a mini warehouse !! Sadly, it has become impossible to continue working like this .... we spend a lot of our time going backwards and forwards to the warehouse bringing stock back, which then goes into the summerhouse and is then transferred to Shedquarters when we run low on stock in there. We also spend an awful lot of our time looking in boxes for stock that might, or might not be in there !! We're not very organised at all !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahjhD4Y3RWdtBHyET9b3FJjo7erBnkE2yxjscZjxCz2YB719-cD2c5QPXM7fXOMIHNf4rpCqx5TXbgJqYhZ2phqvhJMXj810wn8WHG6_SdV_s6z-prApl-pD_EGTJzhYfG4wCZ4q0Kvs/s320/010.JPG" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I had to make a decision. If I want to grow my little business into a bigger business and offer lots more fantastic product lines, get the wholesale side of the business up and running and have regular "open days", then we need to move. It was a hard decision to make, after all, Blooming Felt was born and has grown up to be nearly 7 years old in my house, but I'm pretty sure it's the right decision.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, the hunt for suitable premises was on. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to find the right place. There wasn't a huge amount on the market anyway and I was quite specific about, not necessarily the type of building, but where it was located. Craft businesses, in my mind, shouldn't live on industrial estates. We don't want to be looking out of the window at giant lorries delivering goodness knows what to other premises, or hear the constant sound of cars being mended / revved up etc. We want to be somewhere relatively small and quiet and close to home. So, despite being on the books of all the local commercial premises agents, no-one could offer us what we were looking for. I decided to take matters into my own hands and start looking at the classifieds section in the back of the local paper and spied an advert for workshop / office space in the next village to ours saying the following "NO MOTOR TRADERS". Hmmmmm - that's interesting I thought and called them straight up. Half an hour later I was at the address looking at 2 vacant "sheds". And they really were sheds ... former chicken sheds. It's fate, I thought ! We have a Shedquarters and we need a new Shedquarters - it's perfect !!!! Well, sort of perfect. It needs quite a lot of work to get it to how we want it but it will be fantastic once it's done ! (It's also nowhere near as pretty as my current Shedquarters, but I suppose chicken sheds aren't particularly pretty!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fast forward to today and I have just signed the lease ! My lovely builder friend is starting work on the unit today and I have ordered .... wait for it .... hot pink carpet !!!!!!!! I know, it's mad to have a pink carpet but d'you know what ? I don't care !! It's Blooming Felt Shedquarters and if we want a pink floor, we'll have a pink floor !!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of the walls will be white and with a hot pink carpet I think it'll look perfect !! White is, of course, the perfect backdrop to show off all of our lovely colourful felt goodies so I foresee a number of trips to Ikea to get lots more storage units (thank goodness for Ikea !!) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After taking the decision just before Christmas to stop posting on this blog, I have now done a complete u-turn and decided that we'll bring it back to life !!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's extra work for me, but even though we have a blog on our <a href="http://www.bloomingfelt.co.uk/" target="_blank">website</a>, I find that's very "business" orientated and this little old blog always let me post all sorts of random stuff on here including family stuff, holiday stuff and of course, business stuff. And let's face it, constantly talking business does get a bit boring even though Blooming Felt business stuff is NEVER, EVER boring !!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not sure how many of the people that read this blog also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc and I suspect I'll be duplicating some stuff, but there will be lots of "new" stuff on here and as FB doesn't let you run competitions then we'll do them through this blog instead :o) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So - we're back !!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hopefully you haven't abandoned us completely and it would be lovely if you could spread the word that we're back with "News from Shedquarters" and perhaps leave a little comment on this post so that we know you haven't forgotten about us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you don't follow us through other social media type sites, then you won't know that we are now stocking <a href="http://www.bloomingfelt.co.uk/100-wool-felt-sheets-1mm-thick.html" target="_blank">1mm thick 100% wool felt</a> !! It has been a long time coming, but it's finally here - 30 colours at the moment, with the likelihood that we'll be taking the full 70 colour range from the supplier VERY soon </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And in my next post I'm hoping to have some even more exciting news to tell you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, do please leave us a comment and let us know you're here !!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remember, ages ago, I said we had some exciting news in the pipeline ??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I can finally reveal what it is ! If you're one of our followers on Facebook or Twitter - you can switch off now because you will have already seen this news when I announced it earlier this week. BUT, if you don't use either of those things social media type thingy's, then I'm REALLY excited to tell you that Blooming Felt are writing a BOOK !!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't tell you how excited I am !! I'm stunned that the publishing company that approached us at Ally Pally last year, want to work with us to produce a book stuffed to the gills with projects all designed and made by Blooming Felt !</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am even more stunned to think that in little over a year's time, there will be a book on the shelves of fantastic bookstores such as Waterstones, Foyles (and hopefully, lots of lovely independent bookstores) as well as onlin</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">e through Amazon, with my name on it !

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">PS. We're a bit stuck with choosing a name for the book. So, if you fancy being in with a chance of winning a signed copy, all you need to do is make some suggestions for the name. I'll be taking all of the suggestions along to the publishers on the 28th June, and if we pick the name you suggested, you'll be getting a signed copy of our book once it's published next year !!! Get your thinking caps on and leave your suggestions as a comment to this post please xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I thought I'd do a blog post about what I've been up to, rather than boring you all with what's new on the <a href="http://www.bloomingfelt.co.uk/" target="_blank">website</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, I love telling you about everything that's going on with Blooming Felt (and I do have some VERY exciting news that I need to tell you about soon), but sometimes it's nice to read about what people get up to outside of the "day job" !</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, this weekend I needed to drop a couple of orders off to local customers (service with a smile and all that!) and on the way back home, decided to pop into a <a href="http://www.battlesbridge.com/" target="_blank">Craft & Antiques Centre</a> in Battlesbridge. It turned out they had a Vintage & Makers Market on at the same time</span></div>

Royal Mail have, as promised, increased their postage costs which does of course, unfortunately mean that online retailers such as me have to also increase our postage costs because if you don't, you lose money (not that I make any money on postage at all), but if you do ... you risk losing customers.<br />
<br />
So, after a lot of umming and ahhing I had to take the decision to increase our postage costs in line with Royal Mail's increases.<br />
<br />

There is good news though ! We now have a 2-tier band of postage costs. If your order value is up to £9.99, then you'll still get our low FIRST CLASS postage rate of £2.25. If your order value comes in between £10 and £49.99, then you'll pay a flat rate of £3.50 for First Class delivery. And if your order value is £50 and over, you'll get FREE delivery ! And of course, EVERYONE is eligible to get Loyalty Points on all orders placed with us (you just need to make sure you've set up a little account thingy with us).<br />
<br />
So maybe it's not so bad after all ?<br />
<br />
Right - that's the boring stuff out of the way ! Today at Shedquarters (on top of despatching all of your lovely goodies), we've been thinking about that word that begins with C. <br />

I know, I know, I can hear you shouting now. But really ... in the crafty world of buttons, ribbons and all things felty, you really do have to start thinking about these things now !! The other reason we've been thinking about this particular event is because once again, we'll be exhibiting at the Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace in London in October and all of those lovely customers LOVE to see our ideas and stuff to make for Christmas !! (more about Ally Pally in another blog post though)<br />
<br />
<br />
We think we've pretty much got our ideas sorted out - now we just need to make up some samples and check they're going to actually work, before placing orders with our suppliers for all of the components needed to put into the kits !<br />
<br />
Oooh - one other thing I wanted to tell you about ..... Alongside our Facebook and Twitter pages, we have also signed up to "Pinterest".<br />

The Easter holidays meant it was time for my own family holiday to the USA for 3 whole weeks !!

Fortunately, most of the out of stock ite</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 100%; ">ms have now been re-ordered and should be back very soon.
