Allotment site

Finally got a chance to get something done on my new allotment today! I've been itching to get started but with a bad back, bad weather, winter flu and Christmas preperations there's been no chance! Now school is out (yay!) and I'm just about organised for the 25th I made a trip there today.

This is it! It doesnt go all the way back, as it's just a half plot, but it's still bigger than my garden! It has been looked after in the past, so it's not toooo bad - there are a couple of beds in there already so I dug those over and as it's the shortest day of the year, planted some garlic (it's the tradition apparently!) We also lifted some onions that got left behind, I removed some of the bigger weeds on the plot and started a compost heap. Andrew and Dan came with me, they havn't been up before. Andrew loves it, and he's been busy reading up about what he can grow next year.
Next job is to bring down the blackcurrant canes I have squeezed in a pot at home and set them free on the allotment, and at some point I need to find a shed!

Lots of Angel Tots updates!

Angel Tots will be closed for the Christmas holidays from 5pm Monday 22nd December until Monday 5th January Just incase you didn't see it on the website! I've made the front page a bit festive too - hope you like it!
When we return after the holidays there will be some major changes at Angel Tots - the most exciting news being that Stuffie Nappies will now made by me! A best seller for Angel tots, I'm so thrilled to be able to offer this fabulous nappy - look out for Stuffies in new colours, and new fleeces and in a choice of fastenings. I hope to have Angel-Tots-made-Stuffies ready by the time we re-open in the new year, with free wipes thrown in with each Stuffie purchased :)
I am also busy trialing new software for the website, if all looks ok a new look website will come into force in the new year too. This new website should be much quicker for me to update, allowing more sewing time!

As we now do every year, we'll be having a January sale, starting 5th Jan - make a note in your diaries! I plan on reducing some lines, just so I can concentrate more on the items I manufacture here - I want to keep Angel Tots as unique as possible! There will be LOTS of bargains to be had:)

Finally, some new products to look out for in Jan: Breastpads, wipes pouches, and new flannel prints for San Pro.

Think thats it for now! Have a great Holiday :)

Winter bugs blahhh

Ok, so I have full blown winter flu :( Kelly has it too, she has been asleep on the sofa for much of the last 3 days, Dan has the sniffles and a cough but seems ok in himself. Last week it was a bad back - just can't win!

I have closed custom orders for San pro until after Christmas, as while I'm feeling like this I can't do much, and I was getting a bit inundated - which is very nice, but I can't keep up right now. I just have one more custom order to complete (hopefully tommorow) and send off to Poland - then I'm having a break from San pro lol! By the way, Angelpadz are now available at www.femininewear.co.uk :)
