Sorry I have been late in posting this blog but life is just so demanding sometimes. We spent last week "fluffing" the shop and it looks really good. It had been some time since I had taken everything down and completely overhauled everything. We have new projects on the wall and the kits that go with them. We moved the batiks into their own corner and brought the homespuns out front. Plus Elly's fabric arrived and it is on top of cabinets by the cutting table. That fabric has been selling like crazy just as we knew it would. We now have all the "needle art" together up front and for all you punch needle enthusiasts, we have some great new patterns and more on the way!!!! Also arriving last week is a great kid's collection called Animal Farm. Great bright colors and some printed squares for easy piecing with great animals. Gina's is working on a sample and we will have that up in a few days. Grandma's this is a great project for a toddler's new room or just a fun throw for a special someone.

Ann's beginners got underway last week and so new people are joining our ranks or getting better at this work we love. Lou Ann's kaleidescope class finished last night and the work those gals did was unbelievable. Ann still has her weavings class and the crazy class coming up. Plus Lou Ann has two openings in the pineapple class and several openings in the cobblestones class. Both of these teachers are top notch and a wonderful experience spending time with them.

The big news is our Anniversary Sale next week. Everything in the front of the store is 25% off. Plus in the classroom we will have the tables brimming with all kinds of goodies at unbelievable prices. This event will celebrate my 4th year in business. I can't believe that it has been that long and then it seems like I have been at this forever--oh yeah, that's right I have been at this forever.

We are getting ready for Robyn's visit. For all of you who are signed up, the project will be a Christmas Stocking. This promises to be a wonderful project. and I can't wait to see it. This kind of work is what Robyn really does best.

Thanks to all who came in last week and used the "Code". We will try some more events of this kind in the future.

See you next week and have a HAPPY 4TH.
