(Thursday evening....)

Well we are finally are out of the snow and ice threats around here and ready to re-open tomorrow, Friday the 14th at 1:00pm!! We haven't been over to the shop to see how it faired with the ice and snow, so we are going to wait a bit tomorrow before we open to make sure everything is safe around there to get around!
Thankfully, I didn't lose power at home, so I spent the last couple of days dying wool!!
Some to go on the shelves at the shop, some for new spring kits we are working on....trying out some new formulas and dying up some of our favorites....



Threw in a little roving along the way....

We've got lots of new goodies arriving next week....so stay tuned for that!
