As Thursday is now my day off I'm starting a new blog project in the run up to Christmas...<br />
This is week one of my Blog Project 'Thank God For Thursdays!' where I will pick up to 4 crafter's and let you know about their businesses, which I will pick out of my own favourites to share with you all. Each of these crafters have beautiful pages so let me give you a quick background on each of them...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/TrulyIDo">Truly I Do</a><br />
A beautiful wedding accessories page (sister site to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CraftyChics">Crafty Chics</a>), everything from shoe clips to bridal tiara's. Charlie (brains behind these beautiful items) makes custom orders, so if your wedding is coming up or your part of a bridal party head over to this beautiful page to add a special touch to your big day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/YouMotherPunker">You Mother Punker</a><br />
Head over to this page if you have a warped sense of humor like I know a good few of us have and I'm not alone in laughing for a good while at these.. My personal favourite being '</span><span style="font-size: small;">I Still Think I Could've Done Better'... Card's sold on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/YouMotherPunker">Esty</a> so pop over to have a giggle along with the rest of us!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/dotsandspots">Dots and Spots</a><br />
As the name says these beautiful designs are filled with colour, dots, spots and loveliness! Brightly coloured card designs, wrapping and even sticky tape. Any friend you give a gift wrapped with their paper is going to be a winner! Head over to their <a href="http://www.dotsandspots.co.uk/">website</a> to order.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/muddypuddlecrafts">Muddy Puddle Crafts</a><br />Wooden loveliness with splashes of bright colours you won't be able to resist having a nosey through all of their items! From wooden hearts to beautiful hand painted boxes. Great place to head if your wanted a personalised gift for a friend or even your children's teacher.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As this blog is about my life as well as business I thought I'd share my summer with you all...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With
the whole of our summer flown by a lot has happened, unfortunately a
lot of bad BUT a few good times thrown in there too. As many of you know
we went on holiday in May, since coming back from our amazing time away
a lot of bad news came our way. I took a lot of time away from Sweet
Cotton Threads as everything was too hectic at home running backwards
and forwards between looking for new homes and my Grandad ill in
hospital, without keep orders up to date which I knew I couldn't juggle
too. In the time we we're closed we had a family death and we moved! Two
of the most stressful moments in our lives, both of which I had never
experienced before. My Grandad passed away in early July from Cancer and
then two weeks later we moved. I just want all our loyal like's and
customers to know that I did have good reason for closing (I wish it was
for spending the whole summer on a beach). I know a lot of people
appreciate others honesty in situations like these. But everything is
slowly getting back to 'normal' and we are settling in our new home! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've
been busy this week with sorting through my fabrics (properly) and took
a few snaps along the way so you lovelies could see too!! I even made
my poor boyfriend drive 2 hours back home so we could pick up yet more
fabric last weekend... we arrived back home on Monday night with a car
filled with food and washed + ironed clothes (thank you Mum and Dad!!),
missing the fabrics for Christmas stock!! So we shall be taking another
drive back up to Lincoln tomorrow to collect it all (I will remember
this time haha) and then the Christmas sewing can begin! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the fabric photos!</div>

<br />
As some of you may already know, I am indeed moving cities in order to go back to college in September, I'll try not to keep SCT's closed for too long but family life comes first as I know all of you understand. I'm going to be making our cushions and curtains (and the bedding if I get a chance!), so expect a mini house tour, where all my SCT goodies will be on display :)<br />

I'm getting slowly back into the daily routine and opened our order book again!

Life seems to go so fast and I really don't know where time has gone since I last posted properly.. I've been hit by a rush of orders the last few weeks and with the good weather and my boyfriends 21st I've been non stop since March. <br />
So, what have I been making?<br />
<br />

I'll do a whole different blog post on all the Union Jack items I've been busy making for orders!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll be having a sale on our facebook page to clear out some items and make way for new ones which will be up when we get back from a two week holiday in the sun in May (don't worry I'll take lots of photos and do a massive blog post for you all!)<br />
I'm thinking of having a blog sale for all my older books (in good condition as I buy them new most of the time, I end up reading them in a day!) that I've read- would anyone be interested?<br />
<br />
I'll be doing another big post later this week so you won't have to miss us for so long this time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
