BIG NEWS!
We now have a phone line!
Yes, you can now call!
As a one person entity,
I literally did not have time to take phone calls.
But, with Taber and Christine, we now can!
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful.
They were days with blue skies, sparkling water, and soft breezes.

PLANS FOR THE WEEK
We have lots of things planned for the coming weeks. And, now with three people on board things have calmed down, giving more time for things we want to do to get done.
One the things we will be dong over the next couple of weeks are a few articles about the basics of home decorating fabric. Katie, a friend of Taber’s, had gone to a large fabric retailer, and had been so overwhelmed by the fabric, and no one to ask for help, that she left. We felt it might be helpful to people new to sewing to have some information available. So, I will be writing, Taber will be doing pictures, Christine (who sews) will be offering advise, and Katie will be working on a project. So, we will keep you posted on that project.
We are caught up on listing new fabrics that are currently running from companies. But, over the next two weeks we will be putting a fabric on a day of things as varied as Schumacher fabrics to reef to Oriental fabrics that are out of print or in short supply. So, watch the fabric blog for that!

Well, the mail service has been down all morning.
We are not ignoring questions…
we literally can’t see them, and can’t answer them!
But, not to worry, orders placed have been shipped!
A pretty cream daylily!
