Good Morning everyone - this is Kathie today.
This is a new experience - my very first Blog. Jill tells us it is very easy.
Just wanted to let you know that our class list is out. If you haven't received one in the mail you can view it on our website or drop in and pick one up. There's some really exciting classes.

Also New Fabrics are arriving daily - it's just like Christmas opening the parcels. How can fabrics get more beautiful every year! The store is FULL! It's time to get on with those Christmas projects.

For you Knitters - we also received a huge shipment of new yarns. They are gorgeous - almost makes me want to knit!

Hope you've all had a good summer (despite the smoke). See you soon.

Getting There!

Hi this is Jill posting away on a Sunday! I have been busy with our Blog Designer Lauren Nelson getting all these graphics done and now I am trying to load them up. I must say, and I think you'll agree it's looking pretty darn good!

Once this "construction" part is finished we will get some fun happening here so please check back often!

What Fun!

So - we are going to try out a new toy! We are in the process of updating the website and thought it might be easier, (and more fun!) to have a blog for the store as well. That way we can tell you more often what is new and what we are up to in the shop. We need feedback though so please leave a comment when you visit and tell us what you think and any suggestions you have - we want this blog to be as much fun for you as it is for us!

There are six of us that work in the store: Jan, Kathie, Cheryl, Lucille, Jill and Vi so the plan is we can all take turns updating the blog. Should be easy enough!?! So to start with, we'll tell you a bit about who we are and what we do.... Jan owns the store and has the most ideas! She designs a lot of our patterns and is always thinking up something new to do - never a dull moment!

Kathie does the ordering of notions and books and patterns etc. and between her and Jan they keep the store in stock with all the wonderful things you need or want. (The rest of us make lots of suggestions too!)

Cheryl looks after the yarn and needlework and the book-keeping, Lucille is tasked with co-ordinating the class schedule and Jill and Vi help out with whatever needs to be done. (though they have been known to rearrange things in the store a bit when they are working together!). Really though, we all chip in and help with whatever needs to be done and I think you would agree it's a pretty good team!

So, stay tuned and we'll have some fun!
