Lost Blogs

I firstly want to apologise for the lack of blogging in recent times. Unfortunately when setting up a business there are lots of boring official things that need doing before all the fun creative things.


There have been a few stresses and dramas but some positive stepping stones too. So I feel the only way to fully apologise for my lack of communication is to explain what has been happening here in the land of Raspberry Iguana, or my shoe box flat.


So you may recall that my last blog was about naming my sewing machine after my great grandmother, I thought this would bring me sewing luck...or not as it turns out. About ten minutes after completing the blog i went back to sewing and broke my machine. I still to this day do not know how/why. So sewing halted and I felt a bit deflated as I googled over and over again sewing machine mechanics. This was only after about an hour of swearing at screws that wouldn't un-screw and screw drivers that wouldn't un-screw the screws that wouldn't un-screw, I was very frustrated.


So I arranged for a mechanic to come out but I would be at work so I was leaving my boyfriend to deal with it all, I later returned from work to find that the man hadn't come because he had tried calling me but obviously i was at work so didn't answer my phone. With my stress levels raised I called the guy back and arranged for him to come again the following day and luckily he did. I was a little bit disappointed to find that it took him only five minutes of calm and collected work to fix my machine and earn him £50 and had taken me a whole hour of huffing and puffing to decide I needed to part with £50 to get it fixed.


However on a plus note, a very big plus note Raspberry Iguana officially has a bank account, so soon real trading will begin. This is a very exciting and big step. It feels like Raspberry Iguana is properly starting now and I am looking forward to seeing it grow. 


The week then had a dentist trip, an Ikea trip and a full working week in the mix. This is what led to the unfortunate lack of blog posts. I want to now make the commitment now that this will not happen again.


I am also pleased to announce that although it has taken longer than expected the website should be up and running Wednesday 13th July 2011 and it will be well worth the wait.


With love
