Hello everyone! This week our sale is 20% off sock yarn. (Reg. Price, in stock only). Remember if
you love to knit socks, everyone loves to wear hand made socks! So these make great
Christmas gifts. With our beautiful selection of sock yarn, you’re sure to find just what you’re
looking for.
In giftware, we have lots of new Christmas giftware, trays, plaques, plate racks, candles, and
more. So stop in soon and see these new items.

coming soon, we have put all the trunk show dates and descriptions on our class list. To view

In yarn, we now have Vintage Chunky yarn in a variety of colors. You could create beautiful Fall
items using this yarn. It’s machine washable, 130 yards, 50% acrylic, 40% wool, 10% nylon. The
price is $6.50. The Vintage yarn has become a favorite for all of us. The feel is so soft! In the
next few weeks, we will be putting new models on our website, so watch for all of these!
In stamps/scrapbooks, we have so many items from Tim Holtz. Just one of our “Alterations”
from Tim Holtz include Damask & Regal Flourishes Set. This set adds a deep, bold emboss to
cardstock in just seconds! Check out our stamp wall to see more items by Tim Holtz.
Many thanks to Megan (age10) and her sister, Amanda (age 12) who brought in their very first
quilts they have made and want to donate to Project Linus! Grandma “K” is teaching them to
quilt and guided them with this summer project, but they did all the sewing themselves. Project
Linus is such a worthy cause “ providing security through blankets”. Thank you Megan and
Amanda! If you would like to read more about Project Linus, go to our website at http://www.
