Hold on to your hats
Hi Everyone, it’s me Wendy!
Well, hold onto your hats indeed! Here it is my new, spangled updated website complete with a BLOG. Now I can inflict the daily ramblings of a woolly, knitting (only crochet sometimes), handmade obsessed, mum-trepreneur on you all! And what do I say now … I don’t think my life is that interesting to everyone else but its what we do nowadays. Right?
Firstly, have you checked out my new and updated website that goes alongside this blog. My super-duper IT GURU Matt has done amazing things with my now 11-year-old website. I can highly recommend him at the Helm of Pixlroo Creative he is an IT whizz and even has great patience with dinosaurs like me. So, if any of you need an IT Man, its www.pixlroo.com
Eleven years how did that happen? Well the devil makes work for idle hands and as I couldn’t really afford to eat much more chocolate, knitting it was! It had to be because other than dealing with Britain’s finest, when the OH said ‘what else can you do?’ and I said ‘knit!’ I meant it – that is the only other thing I can do with any expertise. I make a mean curry and my cakes aren’t half bad but knitting is/was/still is my thing. Then A Bit Woolly was born www.abitwoolly.co.uk The name came from a very dear friend as apparently I am ‘woolly by name and woolly by nature’. Personally, I’m not sure if she was referring to my hair, which on a good day looks like one of those raggedy sheep and that’s after I’ve washed it! Or to just me … either way I love it.
So how did I get here to Woolly HQ … well, after many a year dealing with criminals in my previous life as a Police Officer and a then Prison Officer (when the running got too hard – or my ‘customers’ got faster not sure which?!) Boy oh boy I can tell a few stories but not wanting to scare you away (just yet!) let’s stick to the nice stuff. But from crime to yarn has a nice ring to it don’t you think? Perhaps that will be the name of my book? … Can you see how easily I get distracted and why I have 57 WIPs (Work in Progress) on the needles at any one time? Anyway, £500, an IKEA cube unit and a little (very little) IT knowledge and here we are!
It has kept me out of trouble so far and hopefully it will continue to do so. My now teenager hopes that it keeps me out of school and away from the teachers at the very least!! I’m an embarrassment …YAY I’ve made it.
Anyway, enough for now, tune in next week for the next exciting installment of ‘one girl and her wool’!
