Anniebee Designs

Hello my lovelies....  

Isn't it just crazy how fast the last few months have flown by,  time sure feels like its speeding up to me

Here in Anniebee land we've been working like little trojans getting our little craft shed ready to transfer the bags & Gifts making equipment out of the house and into the craft shed

We have a lovely little cottage, and as our business kinda just happened. We never planned for the extra room that we'd need for the masses of equipment and stock we've accumalated over the last three years,  since starting a home based business based in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Where I Handcraft & customise Jute Bags and gifts to order 

Its been such a fabulous experience so far, I often wonder how I managed to get this far,
especially when I never left school with any qualifications.  Never took any business courses or exams, yet here I am moving along in leaps and bounds! 

Knowledge is power and I spend any spare moment I have online, learning about ways to run, grow and improve my business, whether its to help to improve my art, graphics, marketing, networking, setting up social platforms, writing my blogs...Theres always something that Im learning about! 

Hehe feels like ive had homework everyday for three years lol!

My hubby tells me Im like a sponge for knowledge! 

I remember someone telling me  " readers are leaders " Hehe Never thought I'd leading our business and  Wow!  have I learnt so much in a short space of time!  I still have a longgg way to go and I'm keeping my beady eye fixed on the goal.

We have lots of plans and I could burst with ideas somedays. .. but everything takes time and money, we'll get there 

The short break that I'm taking atm to work on the projects, to help grow my business has helped so much.

A BIG BIG Thank you to my loyal friends and followers that have supported us and everyone thats helped along the way building our new craft shed come workshop 

I'm super excited that the builders working on the plastering now. 

I can't wait for the painting and decorating to begin, after spending months picturing how I want it to look in my minds eye, 

imagining all of the lovely things I'll have room to make its going to be amazing to have my own little creative haven... hehe away from all the noise of the world outside.

let there be light!

Feels like its taken forever to get this far but were relieved that 
it will be completed well before the bad weather rolls in for the Autumn/ Winter season

Been thinking about the fittings and flooring and I've got so many ideas racing through my head, think its wise to make a plan of the layout 

Its gna be fun to paint it i'm thinking stripes or maybe I'll paint a scene... hmmm so many choices but living in Pembrokeshire with so much natural beauty around us, I won't be short on inspiration

Its so quiet in comparison to the house to, I guess when your surrounded by sound all of the time you become accustomed to things like the buzzing of the freezer.

The quiet will do me good, it will be perfect for meditation and give me plenty of peace and quiet for me to think and plan ahead 

theres a calming feel to the inside already

Im going to put a few Orgone energy pyramids and hanging Crystals around my new space to create positive energy.

The reflections projected from them looks stunning when the light catches them and they look
pretty sat along the windowledge 

Thats about it with the craft shed update for now folks, I'll keep you posted and there'll be more updates coming soon with lots of Awesome Ideas on how to " Create your space "

Also...

Bichon Babies 

Our  bichon babies  Sid & Fifi  bless they really are like babies, when I think how our two come looking for me the moment they have anything wrong with them, its like they think   'Mummy will fix it "   They're so funny when they try to talk to us

Sid has such a loud bark for a small dog. He lays in the porch and waits for the shadow of someone walking past our house and doesn't make a sound until the second they walk past our door,  then he lets rip! little terror he is Hehe! 

The people walking down the road must get such a fright, I'm forever chasing him out of the porch...

" X FACTOR " Launch Night..... 

Xfactor Judges 2014 

It was the launch of this years XFactor  last Saturday night. 

We were looking forward to hearing  Jay James a local guy from nearby Saundersfoot,

Jay gave a great audition and whizzed through to the next round and It was refreshing to see some local talent on this years show. 

We all enjoyed watching and we're looking forward to this weeks delights...  

#Pembrokeshire has a few stars well known singers with David Gray & Catatonia's  Cerys Mathews coming from North Pembs

Sleepy Pembrokeshire doesn't see that much action besides the odd celeb visit or someone passing through. 

Anna Ryder Richardson spotted the potential in Pembrokeshire when she bought Manor Park wildlife park, the locals have welcomed Anna and her family in the fold and there is a lot of local support for Anna within the community 

I'm sure with the installation of the new high speed broadband, things will improve, bring more opportunities and hopefully more jobs to our county. 

Its good to see Jay receive some  recognition for the hard work he's put in to get this far and get a shot at the big time. 

I read online that Jay has been in the music business for some time but is still looking for his big break.... You can do it Jay.!  You deco have our vote... Good luck
