(Friday night)

Hello to all!

 Here it is, Friday night and I haven't had a chance to update the blog until now! If I could get my foot un-nailed from the floor, I might feel like I could get a bit more done these days! 

We got back from PA last week...brought in a bunch of great "finds"...some went out so fast, I can't even remember now what all we brought home! Some things haven't made it onto the floor yet...I'll do my best to get pictures posted on some of the new fun stuff!

One of the coolest things we brought home from PA this trip where these concrete sheep! We've been trying to find the menonite man that makes these for 2 years now...and we finally tracked him down! Of course, being a rug hooker and wool dyer....you absolutely need a sheep for the garden! So....we brought home a small herd...and now there are only two left!

Adoption price....$68.00
(1 left now....)

Coming in for Tuesday!

New Christmas line by Three Sisters for Moda Fabrics..."Wintergreen"

(We have the entire line coming in...beautiful christmas feel without screaming "Ho Ho Ho" at you! If you love paisleys...you'll love this line!)

Here is the project sheet we ordered....we'll be putting kits together for this for sure!

As soon as we get the price figured...we'll let you know!

(Limited kit availability) 
(The project sheet is available for $1.00)

Also coming in...

"30's Playtime" by Chloe's Closet for Moda Fabrics

Complete fat quarter bundle...$136.00 (wow price is $122.00)

Individual fat quarters will be available as well as Layer Cakes (limited availability)

(We're not getting in bolts of this line...just fat quarters and layer cakes) 

We've been super busy with customers these last few days....lots of gals coming in from out of town going to the Sewing Expo in Downtown Raleigh! The event is going on through Saturday...if you're out and about, please come by and see what's going on!

That's it for me tonight!

I'll try and be a better shop blogger next week!

These 4 belong to our little cross-eyed mama...we think she had them next door at a house that

is up for sale and unoccupied...but this last Saturday, she brought them home to raise them here! We'll be able to snag these with no problem in another week or so!

This little guy is a different story...he's one of two that mom hasn't brought down off our roof yet so the safe traps have gone up there so we can try and get them down safely!

This has been one amorous Spring around here!

(Update on the four little ones that fell down into our walls...they are all together and being fostered until they are old enough for new homes!)

Now on to shop news.....
