AUGUST NEWS - 2020

5 August 2020

Lots of exciting things going on at Colour My Dreams...

We're told to stay alert, and stay home; you can go to the pub and visit a restaurant,

but can't have a facial or go to the theatre.



Are you as confused as I am about this whole damn thing?  🤦‍♀️  For now I'm continuing to stay home, wear a mask when I have to go to the farm shop or supermarket and basically keeping busy with creating lovely things.



I'm certainly a good customer to my suppliers during these times - thanks to Bobbiny, We Are Knitters, Wool and the Gang and Hoooked I'm well stocked and have plenty of yarn, wool etc to keep me busy .



All my suppliers fit with my ethos of sustainability and are eco-friendly - we're all doing our bit to keep our world clean and healthy. Check out their websites if you want to check - they're impressive.



Some EXCITING NEWS!! I'm starting up some online macrame lessons in September. If you're interested, please use this link to add your name to my list. I'll get news about how it's going to work, costs and times as soon as I'm all organised. There'll be a discount for the first 10 people who actually sign up for my first batch of classes. I can't wait to get going, but am incredibly nervous too - that standing in front of a camera thing! You'll have to excuse me if I stumble a bit - I'm sure it'll get easier with practise.



And watch out for some new knitting, crochet and macrame patterns that I'll be creating for you to purchase and try at home. All will be downloadable or I can post them out to you too if you prefer. Exciting times ahead for Colour My Dreams!



I hope you'll continue to support my little business and stay with me to enjoy all these new ideas.

Please email me if you have any questions about my new macrame lessons or anything else.

Continue to stay safe and well, wear those masks and use that common sense.



Stay Home, Stay Safe!

Cathie xx

Open for Business

By Cathie George • February 13, 2024
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.
Festive Greetings from Colour My Dreams. Don't forget to have fun!

🎄Festive Greetings 🎄

By Cathie George • December 23, 2022
If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better". A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.

Au Revoir, but not Goodbye

By Cathie George • July 25, 2022
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.

I Am Enough

By Cathie George • June 10, 2022
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
