Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!
I have been reflecting over the events in my life in the past year and realize I have so much to be thankful for. This year did not start out as well as I had wished as I was quite unwell for the 1st couple of months and was forced to leave a job I enjoyed. It's funny how life works out because it brought me to the conclusion that I would have to change my vocation and I started the little shop on Main St.
To be honest I was quite fearful that it may not work out but it has actually been a godsend. The greatest gift it has brought is the wonderful people who come through the doors that bring their creativity and inspiration to me on a daily basis. It is heartwarming to see those of like mind and kindred spirit gather to share their wisdom and build friendships around the table as we drink our tea. I thank you all for this blessing and hope that you all enjoy your time at the shop as much as I enjoy having you there.

The Patchwork of Hookers will be meeting on Sat Dec 8, at noon-4pm for their Christmas gathering, they are having a Secret Santa and are asking that those who wish to participate bring a homemade gift valued no more than $10. New members are always made welcome.

Fleece Artist yarns and kits have recently arrived at the store. If you haven't heard of them the yarn is delightful as it is all hand painted. Come in and take a look, it is just nice to see and touch.

Hoops and Hooks have (finally!) arrived. Natural Woolrich and Houndstooth is now in and red dot trace-a-pat is on its way. We have had many of the ladies ordering cutters and blades. I will order these for people on request they usually take 2-3 weeks to arrive.

Beginner class will start Tues. Jan 14th, 1-3 pm. I will have! the project at the studio to view the 1st week back in January. Call for more detail if needed.

There are new soaps and teas arriving as well we have a new silversmith, Linda Neilon who has brought in some wonderful handmade silver and semi-precious stone jewellery which has been very popular.
Gayle Moon has brought in some lovely Christmal jewellery as well as some lovely new colors for winter, she has such flare that girl!

Well the snow continues to blow and pile up but that hasn't seemed to stopped people from coming out(except last monday, I stayed in my pj's all day working around the house,then showered and put more pj's on, it was wonderful!), so bundle up, keep warm and have a safe and wonderful holiday season.
