Blow the horns and wave the flags--Kathy and Bruce solved my computer problems and I am back online and ready to finally get this update done. Sorry if you were looking for it on Sunday night. I really have been trying to do the update on a consistent and regular basis.

The sale went really well last week and we enjoyed seeing so many of you. Now, of course, we have many empty spots and will have to start and restock so many of those items that you took home last week. We have also started to order our Christmas fabric for 2006. It always seems to strange that just as we finish with Christmas and get rid of the last few inches of fabric, here come the reps with all new things to select for next year. We are excited about what we have seen so far and still have several more reps to visit. The one thing that will be new in 2006 is METALLIC, yes I did say metallic. We have seen several really wonderful pieces with really nice metallic accents and I have decided to take the plunge and put some on the shelves. Now we won't be going too far out on the metallic limb but for special occasions such as Christmas and oriental-themed fabric metallic accents do seem to be in order.

Clubs are off and running and this upcoming week we will be starting the first of our classes. If you have not signed up, there still are some openings but don't wait until the day of because it might be to late.

As I have cautioned before, be sure and check the blog on a regular basis--we will be starting a new program very soon and you don't want to miss out.

Have a great week--even if you don't need anything, stop by and say HI. We will be putting some new fabric out that just arrived.
