Studio by the Bay

Well the store is starting to come along and we are stocking the shelves. I'm hoping to open on Wed June the 20th and have a grand opening on the 23rd. I hope the signs are up(crossing my fingers) and all goes well but I expect like usual there will be a few glitches.

We have some wonderful artists contributing to our stock, Ann Hallet(after her studio tour is over), Kathy Earles who does wonderful 3D stain glass ships/wood work/watercolor, Sandy Gow who does beautiful fibre arts and designs, Elora Soap Works soap and much more..... plus rug hooking and knitting supplies and yarns. It is all so overwhelming to be honest with you all.

Yesterday I was at a meeting with the OHCG committee to put on the annual meeting here in Midland in May of 2008. I hope you will all consider joining the Guild so you can take part in the festivities as the event is fabulous. The theme will be "Hooked on History". It is well worth the cost of enrollment and the cost of attendance. If you don't join the public is allowed to look at the rugs on the Sunday. The Patchwork of Hookers have been invited to do a hookin at the annual on the Sunday, so we can tell the others about our area and how we came about. Also it will give you all a chance to find out more about the OHCG, kind of like trying it on without having to buy.
I have found joining the guild and the Orillia branch and having our own branch here very rewarding.

Well I better get some rest as I still have alot to do in the next week to get up and going, feel free to drop in anytime and hopefully I'll see you at the next hookin at my house(42 Water St, Penetang) 10-3pm on the 26th of June. Call for directions at 549-1060 or 549-6624.
