Upcoming Courses

Hi Everyone,
I am finally getting settled in, at least the shop is somewhat organized. I have tons of work left to do on the rest of the house but I will get to it one day at a time. My neighbour Barb, said her husband used to tell her that you can't eat an elephant all in one day, I will take that advice to heart, as I have watched Barb working hard on her home for the past 2 years and they have finally opened their Bed & Breakfast, "Georgian Terrace" this past month. All their hard work has paid off, congratulations on a job well done!

The store has reopened and has been reasonably busy for summer. I will be running courses starting in August, as well as there will be a hookin/knitin. Here are the dates as follows:
