Hook In!

WHAT A GREAT DAY THE FRIDAY HOOK IN TURNED OUT TO BE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE UNABLE TO ATTEND, WE MISSED YOU. THE WEATHER FORECAST WAS DISMAL, BUT THE ROADS TURNED OUT TO BE NOT TO BAD AND WE HAD ABOUT TEN HOOKERS SHOW UP FOR THE DAY. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL AND HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH WE'LL BE RID OF OLD MAN WINTER. I LEARNED THAT I NEED TO LISTEN TO MY TEACHER, AFTER ALL SHE'S THE ONE WITH THE DEGREE AND HAS A LITTLE MORE SMARTS THAN I DO. THANKS JANICE.

Beautiful day out there

What a beautiful day it is out there today. Don't be fooled by the sun. It is still cold but the sun makes it worth the effort to get out and walk. When I was putting the beagle out this morning I could hear the song birds and I hadn't heard any for some time. I figure they were buried deep in the trees during that last cold spell. I had a beautiful Cardinal at my kitchen window feeder reminding me to fill it up. We're Back!!!

Keep your eyes posted for announcements regarding yarn shipments. It seems that the yarn industry wasn't ready for this season and things are extremely slow arriving. I'm going to wake up one day and our back room will be taken over by boxes of yarn. Being the impatient person that I am I order from anyone who has stock. It is frustrating as a business owner.
I do expect some new sock yarn this week as well as some of the Frill Seeker Lace Effects. Although the company is unable to provide us with the original Frill Seeker, I am looking forward to seeing the Lace Effect.
We do have new colours of Ondas by Katia as I have previously mentioned but it is going fast.

Hope all of you have a great weekend and a great Family Day. I hope to make a little trip to see my babies for Family Day as they won't know their Grandma as I haven't seen them for two weeks. lol
To the Grandmas out there whose grandchildren are far away I salute you. I don't know how you do it. It's all I can do not to move at least a little closer so I can have more of a day to day contact. Relax. I couldn't stand the stress of living in a city that size. lol

FRILL SEEKER UPDATE

FRILL SEEKER HAS STILL NOT ARRIVED AND THE COMPANY CANNOT GIVE ME A DATE SO THIS IS A MESSAGE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE ONDAS FROM KATIA IN STOCK IN NEW COLOURS. THERE ISN'T ALOT AND IT WON'T LAST LONG BUT IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE FRILL SEEKER. YES, THE BALL IS SMALLER AND IT IS A LITTLE LESS MONEY BUT IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE.

THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Closed for a snow day!!!!!!!!!!!

Well ladies. I have succumbed to the weather. I will be closed today, Wednesday, for a snow day. The wind, more than the snow is keeping me at home and none of us should be on the road. As long as Mother Nature doesn't send us more of the same over night ( or worse), I expect to be back open on Thursday morning.
Have a great SNOW DAY !!!!!!
