Lots of new arrivals

New arrivals of fabric and yarns every day now as we start to get ready for the fall schedule. Lots, and I do mean lots, of yarns arriving every day. There are so many beautiful colours of yarns this fall. I have been working hard shifting everything around in order to make room.
Monsoon arrived this week. I thought that very fitting considering the weather we have been having. lol. Woodland from Kertzer also arrived, a beautiful double knitting yarn that will knit up in waves of colour. I love it.
I am waiting impatiently for a very large fabric order and will let all of you know as soon as it arrives. This year every gift is hand made. I will have the joy of making it and the recipient will know that I took the time and effort to really think about them.
My daughter, Sheena, was down for a visit and had these great little snack bags for the twins. A simple fabric bag lined with a silky plastic type liner that velcros shut. It will hold a sandwich, crackers or veggies etc. When you're done, just throw it in the washer and reuse. All those plastic bags do not break down. They never go away. I know all of you have some scrap fabric and I have the liner. Make them for everyone you know.
Here's a big shout out to the Campbellford girls that headed down east for rug hooking. Hope you didn't run into Irene and if you did I hope you had a hurricane party. I know you did! lol
Drive safely home. Can't wait to see you and hear all the news.

New Arrivals

Although it has been extremely hot you all know that after August 1st we are heading into the fall of the year. Fabrics and yarns must be purchased for the Christmas present that goes on the list every year. I have just received one of the yarn shipments and a large portion has managed to move out the door quite quickly. Even if your're not knitting or sewing it's always a good idea to be prepared for that rainy day that some of us were praying for less than a week ago. There are a large number of new quilting patterns for the quilters as well as a good selection of yarns and patterns for the knitters that have rolled in already. Hookers, do not feel left out. We have lots of wool fabrics and backings so drop in and see us.

Bad Betty has struck again. I'm sure the gentleman sitting in his vehicle waiting for his wife is still wondering what goes on behind our sacred doors. What goes on at Andjareenas, stays at Andjareenas. lol
Pauline, don't encourage her . lol

I will be hosting a Spin In on Friday the 19th of August from 10-3.
Please call and let me know if you are coming. I am limited for space and don't want to turn anyone away.


See you soon

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.
