PUL FABRIC IS IN!!!!

This week has seen the arrival of yarns, fabrics and the newest waterproof fabrics from the BAbyville Line. Check out the link for Babyville at http://www.babyvilleboutique.com/home. These waterproof fabrics are the newest thing for plastic pants to ponchos to lunch bags to change table covers. They are in the latest colours and patterns and I have brought in quite a selection as well as the snaps, appliques, adjustable tapes and fold over elastics. Drop in and see them.
There were six new colours of Frillseeker that arrived this week and it's going fast as usual. Get in early and take advantage of the selection. It's flying off the shelf.

There is also several new quilting fabrics that have arrived from Michael Miller and Laurel Burch as well as several new oriental fabrics and panels.
Hope to see you there.

It's a sad day

It's a sad day here at Andjareenas Place as I inform all of you about Mary Gardiner's passing. Mary had been waiting for a knee replacement and frequented the store for all the knitting, hooking and stitching groups in order to pass the time as her surgery date came nearer. We had lots of laughs and lots of Newfie jokes. Mary could tell one because she was one. We laughed with her and were supportive of her when her brother passed away suddenly. The knitters met today and were stunned at the news as it was quite a shock to all of us. We will miss her greatly.
I picture Mary knitting in heaven with a big grin on her face a sewing machine not to far away and a beautiful piece of embroidery on display.

New arrivals

Our Frill Seeker is on its way and expected today according to the tracking email I received from Canpar yesterday. New arrivals of Rizos came yesterday as well as the beautiful rosewood sets of interchangeable circular needles. If you are looking for a gift these beautiful knitting needles come in a velvet lined box and are absolutely beauitful. The Knitters Pride sock needle sets have also been very well received and although I haven't knit with them yet the knitters are absolutely in love with them. I also received some straight sets yesterday as well. So, if you are looking for something for the knitter in your life look no further!
I debated about bringing in the Babyville Pul fabrics into the shop but I have jumped in with both feet. Check it out on the web. I have ordered a full selection of the Babyville fabrics including the snaps, elastics etc. I will let you know as soon as it's in. Great for bibs, change table covers, diaper covers etc. CAn't wait!

Frill Seeker Yarn expected next week

Well ladies, Christmas is just around the corner and the yarns just keep on coming. There are five new colours of hand painted sock yarns this week and we are waiting on five new colours of Frill Seeker Yarn expected in next week. Our end of the bolt sale is going well and the Christmas fabrics are slowly moving off the shelf. A little snow and I expect bedlaml!
We had a lovely day Friday hooking although our numbers were down. For you ladies who are away and enjoying your holidays, we miss you. I am looking at booking some one or two day rug hooking sessions next year and I will keep you updated on the blog or if you want to be contacted via email let me know at info@andjareenas.com or andjareenas@gmail.com
I have finally completed my Deanne Fitzpatrick piece and none to soon. It has been alot of fun to do but I promised myself that I couldn't start a new piece until it was finished so I have been whipping away like crazy and it's finally done. There are a couple little touch ups but I think I can say it's done. My next project will be a little smaller as I realize I need a break from a long term project.
I'm smocking again and preparing for the new year so anyone interested in smocking classes I expect to start them around the third week in January.
My little grandchildren will soon be turning one ,(where has the time gone), so I will be off to visit them next weekend to celebrate with a big party. I can't wait. Carter is moving around furniture while Peyton is content to crawl for now. I'm sure she will quickly catch up to her little brother so she can keep him in line. lol. They have all of us wrapped around their little fingers. Even their Uncle Travis. Life is good.

It's been a very busy week at Andjareenas. Everyone is knitting like crazy and with the new arrivals of sock and scarf yarns we are running to keep up. There are five new colours of Frill Seeker on the way and I hope it will get here by the weekend.
There is lots of new fiber for spinning and felting from Pat Leclair from Dyeing for colour so drop in and see the wonderful selection she has brought into us.
I am continuing to run our end of the bolt sale. If you take the remaining fabric on any bolt of fabric you will receive 20% off.
Rug hookers meet for our monthly Hook In on Friday so I hope to see you there.

Christmas at Presquile

Sharon and I just returned from leaving a considerable amount of money behind at Christmas at Presquile. There is something for everyone and we proved it. Although I am sure people were watching, I managed to buy a beautiful hand dyed scarf and an equally beautiful felted pursed with flowers on the front. I think I stole it for $65.00. I am very happy with my purchases. As we were leaving the building we were accosted by a gentleman wanting to know our postal code. "Rick I said, it's me from Andjareenas". lol. He was so intent on his job that he didn't recognize me but he did remember Janice, the woman he lives with his has become a knitaholic. lol. We were then on to the tea room where they had the most wonderful rum cake as usual. Sharon felt a little light headed and we're not sure if it's the rum sauce or not. (It's the rum sauce). yummy!!!
There was certainly something for everyone there and the price ranges proved it. I don't think anyone could be disappointed. I know we weren't.

Have a great Sunday afternoon. Looks like it's going to rain so I'm inside for now. I'm sure that weatherman called for sunny weather but if I don't get it till Monday I can live with that. My twins are coming for a visit so their grandfather will be out showing them off in their Cadillac Stroller. lol
