Summer fun with Button Fayre

Button Fayre's being going from strength to strength over the last few months and I'm happy to say that it's boosted my business confidence no end.
It's not easy running a business from home and fitting it in around a large family, and all of life's commitments, but somehow I'm managing, I definately have a guardian angel.

Life certainly knows how to throw you blows sometimes and the latest one came 3 weeks ago on our 3 monthly check-up at the children's hospital in Limoges ( for my daughter Abbie who has Crohn's disease ).
Her back's been so painful for 2 years now and she cries with the pain sometimes which isn't easy for a mother to witness.  I give her regular massages and she's even seen a physiotherapist but nothing seems to help and we've always been told by our GP that it's due to the continual corticoids she's been taking for 5 years.
Now the specialist has decided, and hit us with the news rather abruptly, that it may be a certain type of arthritis connected to Crohn's disease which has been a huge stress for me to think about and try and get my head around.  We should get the results in the next week or two but the wait is excrutiating and I had planned to continue working throughout the school holiday's ( around the children of course ) but decided to take a week off last week to gather my thoughts and spend some quality time with everyone.  

After my week off I came back on yesterday to find that my blog had disappeared but somehow I've managed to retrieve it, phew.  Technology is fabulous but so annoying too at times.

The good news is that I'm up to date with orders and hope to have two very large ones complete within the next couple of weeks and can then make a start on some more planned for an end of August/early September start.

The summer market night went extremely well and I'm always amazed at the huge support I have from everyone which makes for a truly wonderful evening, thank you.  I'm planning another one for the autumn time and will soon be making a start on Christmas items too which is exciting.

I really must try so much harder to post on here more often and so will make an attempt at once a week from now on....well ok, every two weeks at the least to be realistic but you never know, I might surprise you.

Enjoy the rest of the school holiday's, holiday time and summer,
