The yarn is home!
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010So glad to have my yarn back home (of course happier with the yarn that went home with customers!) …everything went from my studio and the shelves were so naked …I missed the colour!
I’ll have the inventory on the website updated in the next day or two as I have to do it manually and don’t know what sold yet.
Thanks so much to K and R for (wo)manning the booth in Abbotsford as I was unable to attend…and so sorry I missed all of you! Thank you to everyone that came to the booth (and went home with yarn!) ….. and all of you that brought projects to show off…It was great!
cheers

…thanks for your understanding as this is something I rarely do…and the problem with being open on Saturdays!
cheers

Interesting quote
Monday, March 15th, 2010I just received a note from someone on Care2 and with it came a quote I was not familiar with…and thought I’d share it.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
…funny I never heard this quote from him before.
…makes you think eh?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010I was going to hold these skeins back for the Abbotsford show at the AgRec Centre in March….but I jsut can’t wait that long! Only 6 skeins available and the Amethyst colour is gorgeous! It came out better than expected!!! 2 skeins are suggested for the Dryad shawl you saw advertised in the Winter Issue of Twist….Syvia designed the stole with this very yarn …different colourway but same silk. It’s the perfect colourway for Spring!
and click on the “silk tonals”
happy shopping!
Gotta share this…
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I just have to share this….my mouth is still agape as I can’t believe I did this! Or that the man that just dropped by did that!
About 2 hours ago I went to the mailbox and found a “Parcel key” (that’s a key in your mailbox that let’s you know there’s a parcel in another mailbox and that is the key to access it…you return the key in the slot afterwards). Well I took out the key and removed the parcel and ..duh…forgot to take my keys out of my mailbox and retrieve the rest of my mail….I had left the keys in the keyhole of the mailbox with my house, car, and every other key I have…with my mailbox open….with my name, address…and any checks in there (ok there weren’t any checks but there could’ve been 
) I had wondered where my extra set of keys were when I got home (that is the set I used for the mailbox) but as usual figured they were at the bottom of my purse so didn’t worry.
So I was stunned when a man came came to the door with the keys and mail and called me by name! I was stunned!!!! I have never done anything like that before! Duh!!!
Lately, especially, I’ve been feeling a bit bummed that due to my modest living we have to live here. But today my heart just oozed with gratitude…for in this modest rural area…where things are pretty safe….and you can walk the streets at 3 am…you can leave your keys in the mailbox for part of the day and someone you don’t even know will hand deliver them to you as if it was no big deal….
Thank you so much Mr Blue Truck….I didn’t even get his name.
cheers!
