It’s back… prepare for fun, fellowship, and stitching…. Our April retreat was so much fun! We raised some money for the furnace/reno fund and got to know new people. And there were great prizes which turned out to be a very popular part of the event. It was so much fun that we’re going to…
We got some doodads in that help with stitching. Here’s me unboxing them.
Lizzy B’s bought out all the embroidery kits from another shop and Samantha and I had a blast going through them. Check out our video.

I’d like to state right away that I inherited this giant thread ball… it is not of my making. When I bought the store this ball was in a plastic bin with some tapestry wool and a few other leftover things. I had a good laugh when I saw it but it has come in…

Honestly, I have no idea. People started asking me for these colours, 3880 to 3895, well after I had bought the store. It was maybe a year in to my being there (so 2019) by the time I’d even been asked once for them. I don’t know why that was… maybe some designers started specifying…
