THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME WELL, KNOW THAT SHEENA IS HAVING TWINS AND IT REALLY COULD BE ANYTIME. SHE IS MEASURING AT 36 WEEKS SO THE TIME IS COMING QUICKLY. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WHEN SHE WALKED BY A LITTLE HAT AND SWEATER SAMPLE IN THE KNITTING ROOM AND CASUALLY SAID "ISN'T THAT CUTE"? GREAT!
OUT COME THE KNITTING NEEDLES AND I'M FRANTICALLY THINKING CAN I REALLY GET TWO OF THEM DONE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME? PAULINE, WHO TURNS OUT SOMETHING EVERY FEW DAYS ASSURES ME THAT I CAN AND JANICE JUST LAUGHS. I'M STARTING TOMORROW. PRAY FOR ME.
I AM EXPECTING SEVERAL YARN ORDERS BUT TRUE TO FORM THEY WILL PROBABLY ARRIVE THE DAY AFTER THE KNITTERS GROUP MEETS. I WILL POST IT TO THE BLOG WITH DETAILS AS SOON AS THE ORDERS ARRIVE.
LOTS OF NEW SHOPPERS HAVE BEEN IN SINCE THE 401 RUN HAS STARTED. WE DO QUITE A BIT OF ADVERTISING AND TO BE HONEST I THINK THIS TYPE OF THING BRINGS MORE PEOPLE INTO THE SHOP REPEATEDLY THAN ANY PAPER ADVERTISING. IT'S NICE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE FROM OTHER TOWNS AND FIND OUT WHAT SHOPS ARE DOING IN THEIR AREA. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS ! BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING AND WE HAVE A NICE SELECTION OF CHRISTMAS FABRICS IN STOCK SO HURRY IN AS THE SUPPLIES DON'T LAST AND I FIND THAT ALOT OF THE WHOLESALERS DON'T STOCK AS MUCH AS THEY USED TO.
I WILL BE AT THE FALL FLING(I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I TOLD YOU THIS) AT ST THOMAS'S CHURCH IN BELLEVILLE ON THURSDAY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY OUT. I FIGURE I CAN FINISH SMOCKING THE BABY DRESS WHILE I'M THERE. LOL
UFO FRIDAYS ARE BACK IN FULL FORCE SO DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. SPACE CAN BE LIMITED AT TIMES SO CALL AHEAD.
CECILE IS DEVELOPING A REFRESHER SEWING COURSE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM SEWING FOR AWHILE. SHE IS TEACHING SOME HOME DEC IE" NAPKINGS, PILLOW CASES, PLACEMATS ETC. IT IS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN A FEW NEW TIPS AND REFRESH SOME OLD SKILLS.
HOOKERS MEET WEDNESDAYS. SEE YOU THERE.
