Are you ready for the clock to go back yet? No? We're not either....

So the ladies here are doing things with our evenings this Autumn, Helen and Rachel are doing courses this year so they've got homework.  I will be learning to play backgammon and sewing this year, I've always wanted to be able to make clothes, so that's the plan.  They boys?  Well, they're not as into the whole "learning new things" spirit as we are this year, we'll keep encouraging them...

And it struck me that some of you haven't seen our lovely shop, so here's a shot of the outside, I can include one shot per blog post apparently, so I'll pop up some more of us, the shop and the making process over the coming weeks.

Yep, I'm ready....
As weird as most people think I am - I do love the dark nights! They're so cosy and snug - much nicer than summer. In fact, I'm not overly fussed on Summer at all - I'd be happy with a perpetual Winter! As for night classes - they're a great idea! I have done a few in the past. I did a couple of computing courses - they were really good - I wouldn't be able to use a computer if I hadn't done them. I did do a dress making course a good while ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't very good - it was full of people who had already done it before and were using it as a social club! OK - that's fine but the tutor favoured the returners rather than us new ones - so I didn't learn alot. But I still have the yearning to learn how to sew. I also love the idea of embroidery, knitting, crochet and lace making. Am I sounding old? There is so much junk on the TV at the moment it would be nice to have an alternative that is easy on the old brain cells! Oh yes, I started a watercolour class once. It was watercolour for beginners - one piece of advice - you need to be able to draw before you attempt watercolours! Also, the tutor was running two classes at the same time. I left after three weeks and got my money back. So the moral of the tale is - make sure you get a good tutor. And finally, it would be lovely to see some pics of the PNS team and the inside of your shop as well. I'm so nosy! Good to hear from you.

Watercolours AND embroidery, are you Jane Austin?

You do make me laugh!!  Hello again PNSF, lovely to hear from you too :)  So, what are you going to take up this year then?  I saw a lampwork class (lampwork is the making glass beads apparently, no, I don't know where the lamp bit comes in either) the other day, I might well sign up for that too.  I'll think of you now in the long Winter evenings doing your embroidery, for some reason in my head you've also got a rug over your knees too, but that may just be me projecting images of what I do :)

And sorry, but there's a slight technical difficulty with photos at the moment, so I will be posting them once that's finished (if I'm totally the technical difficulty is that I'm a bit of a biff, but I will sort that out very shortly).

I'll be popping by...
Hey I'm comming down to Marazion for a week visiting family at the beginning of November so I'll be paying a little visit to my fave shop aswell ;). Its a good time of year to be learning new things when the nights get darker isant it as doing nice things outside becomes clearly more difficult :D.See you soon!

Helloooo Ursula!!

We'll look forward to seeing you then, you will hopefully notice a few little changes here in the shop, you'll be a little too soon for our Christmas window of course but we're still really rather proud of our Autumn one.  See you soon and all the best ;)
