Flying #Porter gives me a chance to see this great mention in person. Thanks again to @susan_l_goldberg for this opportunity! To be featured in re:porter magazine #reportermagazine along with the other outstanding #ThunderBay businesses, restaurants, and locations is pretty special.
The photo is a little embarrassing, of course that ridiculous dissected unicorn continues to follow me... I’m certain my gravestone will read something along the line of: ‘she lived a good life, did stuff, and crocheted a dissected unicorn.’ Mhmm. (Also important to point out that made work isn’t for sale in the shop, though there is an abundance of beautiful yarn to make things with - and people willing to teach and help you to make your own!) In the end, I feel like a silent celebrity on this flight and I sort of want to stand up and shout: ‘Hey everybody! Check me out, I’m in your seat back!’ Instead I just showed it off to the guy beside me - who as it turns out used to crochet hats for his ski buddies. Cool. .
Oh and I’m making a tornado finger puppet for Hannah to remember this bizarre weekend by. ;) #woolshop #lys #localyarnshop #fibreart #yarnshop #yarnshoplife #woolyarn #woollovers #fibrearts #crafting #makersgonnamake #handmadeisbetter #worklifebalance #momlife #smallbusiness #shoptbay #tbay #thunderbay
For many reasons the September calendar is mostly about closed days. Thank you for understanding.
The shop is closed today, Friday, September 14th.
Finn’s 5th Birthday, Tuesday the 18th the shop of course is closed. 💙
On Saturday, September 22nd I’m going to visit my daughter in Ottawa. She’s running another half marathon on the 23rd so I’m going to support her. This is the first year I didn’t go with her to settle in for the school year as I couldn’t do both trips, and we decided being there for the marathon was more important to her than the start of her third year. It felt strange to just see her off at the airport a few weeks ago.😕 The shop is closed again on the Wednesday, September 26th.
Tiffany will be running the shop for me on Saturday, September 29th ((thank you)), allowing us some much needed space without having to close yet again. I trust she will host a great day of stitching. 🙂
Again, thank you all for understanding, for all the thoughtful messages, and helping to ease the stress of trying to juggle all this during a difficult time.
Watch the workshop schedule for more updates as October and November classes get organized. Needle felted pumpkins are happening again on September 27th and October 3rd.
