I love school holidays, especially now my children are teenagers.  I get a little more uninterrupted time to work on the website.  So far today I have uploaded around another 20 – 30 charts.  But I have come across a problem.  Some of the pictures I used on the old website have gone missing.  I will have to scan the missing images later this weekend.

One of the things I love about redoing my shopping cart (about the only thing if I am telling the full truth!) is coming across designs that I have forgotten about, but absolutely must stitch.

I had forgotten about The Birdkeeper.  The shop only has one copy of this beautiful design left.

Then there is Eliza Adams.  (Found here)  It is such a sweet little sampler that I think I will have to stitch this one this weekend.  I have suitable fabric in my stash, I am just not sure what the threads are.  Maybe DMC?

Over the weekend I am planning to work on some of the other pages as well.  Two major improvements need to be the About page and the Contacts page.

Have you looked at the shop recently?  I have now uploaded approximately 1/3 of the charts that were there prior to all the changes I started making at the start of this year.  It is a long, slow, laborious process, as I enter each chart individually, making sure I have also added the correct image.  I do have to go back and finish adding category images, but I have already started doing that.

At the moment, I believe my email link may be broken – I had to change hosts a month or so back.  If you have been trying to contact me, please leave a comment, and I will get back to you.  It has been so long since I have done a redirection of an email address that I need an hour or so to focus on that task alone (will probably take me 5 minutes to do once I work it out.)

I will definitely be updating you more over the next few months.  Don’t forget to sign up for the enews.

Till next time…

As you would be aware by now, I am working with a new shopping cart platform for the store.  Unfortunately, during one of the updates to the software, a major hiccup occurred, and around 100 products that were entered do not show the prices.

I think the problem has now been sorted, but I will have to delete all 100 (or so) products and re-enter them.  That will be my task this weekend.

The Needlework Boutique 2014-15 Catalogue

Ends midnight 30/6/15 (Australian EST)

It is the end of the Australian Financial Year, and I really want to do a mid year sale.  But with the majority of my products still off line, it is difficult for me to plan it!  So here is what I will do.  Until the end of the month, all stock on the website is 40% off.  This will also be applied to any stock added between now and then.  As I am still learning how the backend of this site works, I will apply the discount to the order when I receive it.

Wishing all Mothers a very happy Mother’s Day.

Today we are celebrating Mother’s Day with my mother, a very special grandmother to all 7 of her grandchildren.
