Hookers Friday

Don't forget our monthly Hook In will go on as usual this Friday. I have lots of air conditioning to go around so don't be afraid of the weather report. lol
For those of us who work in air conditioned stores and live in air conditioned homes I think the heat wave is even worse. I run out of the store and jump into the very hot van and whiz home and run into the refridgerated house. It was delightful to open the windows and doors and let the fresh air in last night. THE HYDRO WAS OFF!!!!! LOL
Good thing it wasn't earlier in the week or it could have been ugly. The night was beautiful. We sat on our front step with our candles and fire pot and lived it up until the mosquitoes drove me inside. My trust halogen flashlight allowed me to read my book and I was quite happy.
Hope all of you are enjoying your summer and hope to see you in the shop soon.

New Arrivals

While I was away I noticed several new things have arrived in the shop and now is the time to stop in and see them. We do have air so if you can make it from the house to the car to the shop, I figure you shouldn't even break a sweat lol. It is brutal out there so those of you who find it to much , all kidding aside please wait for the weather to cool off a bit.
I believe I have already mentioned the "Dyeing for Colour" and Pats beautiful fibres. For spinners, knitters and felters you have to see it to believe it. I am going to try and post a picture of the wall of goods for you to enjoy online until it cools off.

We're having a heat wave ,,,,,,,,,,,

Wow! I know you've heard it a thousand times but is it ever hot out there today. Thank heavens for the pool that gives us a refreshing break and the central air but you still have difficulty working very much even with the air on.
For those of you who are looking for a respite from the heat, Andjareenas Place has air conditioning and we look forward to seeing you. Knitters, enjoy yourself on Tuesday afternoon but I think I will still be in the Muskokas helping Travis set up his internet and cable. Sharon and Cecile will be in charge and have strict orders to look after you. lol
For the sock makers I have put on the balance of the Mega Boot sock yarn. Regular price is $17.99 per ball and I am clearing it for $5.00 a ball. I need more shelf space as the fall yarns start to roll in. Frill Seeker is back in stock and the Frill Seeker lite with metallics. Metal is in this fall and you will need sun glasses when entering the yarn room.
I will be carrying more fibre from Pat Leclair from Dyeing for Colour and Sharon will be setting that up this week. I am going to try and have a "Spin In" once a month and will post it here when everything is set up.
There is also some Cantata Cotton for those of you who knit dish cloths. It is on sale for $1.99 per ball. It's a little to nice for dish cloths and makes lovely sweaters but for some reason I have never been able to sell cotton yarn in Trenton. Can't figure it out so I am making room for some great yarns that are arriving this week.
Fall and Christmas fabrics continue to roll in and I'm also waiting on a large notion order that will be full of new and interesting items.
See you all when I get back

Closed Saturday

I will be closed on Canada Day and the Saturday following Canada Day this week. I think this will be my summer vacation as I will be able to string four days together. I am off to Huntsville to help Travis set up his new digs and then I will be able to rest easy at night. So, take pity on me I will be back at it on Tuesday morning.
THank you , thank you , thank you. To all the knitters/hookers who celebrated my birthday with me. Betty, I don't believe you think fruit and vegetables are reallly better than cookies or cakes but it was a nice change. I'm baking next week! lol
I am having a SALE this week on flannel. 50% off until closing on Thursday June 30th so for those of you who are making quilts for the fall you might want to have a look. There are new fabrics rolling in every day and I need more room. Don't forget the Wonderfil thread sale. 50% off all Wonderfil threads while supplies last, and they are going fast.


Hope all of you are having a great summer

Christmas fabric is starting to roll in!!!!

Christmas fabric is starting to arrive already. I can't believe we have had two pieces of Christmas fabric arrive in the shop already but there you have it. Both are Loralie prints and are selling quickly already. Drop in and see the neat bags that Cecile has made with these whimsical ladies.

Hook in Friday!!!

I know there are alot of you away at Trent Rug hooking School, but for those of you left behind I am going to go ahead with the Hook In on Friday June 24th. Please let me know if you are coming.

Brenda Allen taught the ladies another great bag class using the square in a square techniques on Saturday past. Congratulations to everyone, especially you Bev. I noticed that you were completely done when you left. It is such a nice feeling walking out the door with your finished project in hand knowing that you don't have to do anything else to it when you go home.

I want to remind all machine embroiderers that the Wonderfil thread is still on for 50% off while supplies last. I also have the Solu Film stabilizer in stock.
The indoor yard sale continues with 99 cent fat quarters. I was way overstocked with the number of fat quarters we have cut and I thought this would be a great deal for those of you who are doing comfort quilts.
Take advantage of a great deal while supply lasts.

Square in a Square

Another great square in a square class was held Saturday at Andjareenas and what a great job the girls did. Brenda Allan does such a super job and everyone had a great time. Maybe I can fit into one of the classes one of these times. Brenda also offers a techniques class using the Square in a Square so that you can take your ruler to new heights. Anyone interested in setting up a class or if there is a guild out there interested in having Brenda come and teach for the day you can contact me and we will set up a class at the shop or Brenda is listed on the CQA website as a travelling teacher. You won't go wrong having her come to teach!

I am clearing out my Wonderfil thread. It will be 50 per cent off until it is gone. Wonderfil also has a top stitching thread called Accent that is about the weight of #12 perle cotton and we are clearing it out as well.

Knitters meet on Tuesday afternoons from 1-3 p.m. and hookers on Wednesday same hours. We would love to see you there.
