Where's the time gone?

Hi Everyone,
Just a note to say hi, and that the stores still standing. As you all know it has been a bit of an ordeal keeping things going this year with being a ill and all, but I'm feeling much better and the shops up and running again.
I do have plans to fix up the old sign shop downstairs and move the shop down there, which will give us much more space for classes and merchandise. I'm just not sure when this will happen as I am only one person and there is quite abit of work to do. So far I have cleaned it all and bought the paint. I still need to take some stuff to the dump, take down a wall and some old cupboards and a bit of old shelving and then I can get at the painting. I just don't have the energy I used to and can't seem to get it all done in a day like I used to,LOL . Oh well, we all have our dreams.
The store will remain where it is for the time being with a few changes, I am hoping to introduce a vintage line. I have had the opportunity over the past year to aquire used & new but older knitting needles and crochet hooks, I am planning to sterilize them and package them so they can a be sold at a discounted price, I am hoping to carry vintage items in the shop so you as the customer can benefit both by helping our enviroment by recycling product and monetarily.

The store will be focusing on Canadian made natural yarns, hand dyed yarns and woolens for both knitting , crocheting and rughooking.
Please feel free to stop in anytime to see the new "Karen's Kolors", in yarn and fleece. These are great for thrum mitts and socks.

There are NEW rug hook patterns available in the shop:
22x29" Harvest's Blessing-wallhanging-$30
7"x18" Little Fishy-pillow top or to hang-$15
19"x21" Sunflowers-$25

Hope you all are having a good summer, despite the weather and all are well.
See ya soon, K
