Good news! I have a working camera! This means that once everyone is well I will take new photos of all the stock ready for the new shop. Hurrah!

Bad news! We still have the lurgy! I was properly ill over the weekend, and now FB has a high fever. 🙁 For those of you keeping count we’re now at week 3. This is definately a different bug from last week and hopefully in a couple of days (optimistic??) things will be better. *crosses fingers*

With our extra leap day today we have:

• not had a nap, and then finally had a nap (and by we I mean LR)
• sat on my head while I tried to make a phone call after abandoning said not-nap (again, LR)
• we have helped a policeman with a hammer (true story!)
• made flapjack
• and fruit and nut balls (the Lara Bars from Kitchen Stewardship‘s Healthy Snacks to Go)
• watched Nigel Slater’s Simple Suppers (it’s that or Totoro when we are ill.)

Hopefully I’ll be back soon with news that we are all healthy and that the shop is up and running.

Firstly – the shop is coming back.

However since closing the shop to upgrade and re-photograph we have had a cascade of problems including:

• going to A&E in an ambulance. (The injured person in question is well on the mend and their injury was scary but not permanently scarring thank goodness.)
• both children suffering a vomitting bug (we’re still in the midst of that one, though hopefully tomorrow will be better.
• I am refusing to get the same bug but feel awful and bleurg and have been holding the youngest vomity child for most of the day. (Mind you it is lovely to have a small child asleep on you, even if they might wake up and vomit.)
• (sorry, I’ll stop saying vomit.)

And now, in the midst of all that I have turned 34. Please wish me health. And less of the v word.

The shop will be back very soon. Promise.

Yeah, it’s not a great time to be doing this, but it’s never a great time to do a big overhaul. This one is long over due (at least to me.)

If you NEED OxfordKitchenYarns right now, then they are still stocked at Darn It and Stitch, Wool and Willow and now at Moss Stitch.

Otherwise the shop will be back (with lots of lovely new stock too!) in a week or so. (Basically as soon as I can!)
