Last week's email had some link issues. While the developers are still working on the problem, you can get to the link by clicking through (the scary looking) verbage that says the connection is not secure. I was able to test this out and it works fine. If you are using Safari for your web browser, you may need to pull up the website on your own and look for the classes on the calendar. Sorry for all the confusion. Gwen
Hello friends! I am beginning to wonder if we will get any snow this year. This has been the strangest winter. However, I am optimistic and looking forward to more sunshiny days with maybe a few snow flurries for which I will not complain!
The following are shop happenings for the next few months. Now is the perfect time to check out all of the new fabric, kits, and notions we have gotten since you have last visited us.
