OUR OWN LITTLE WORLD
Does anyone else have times when every half hour seems to be booked...for days and weeks ahead? I try to remember what it was like to have wee ones at home and be grateful I have as much time to myself as I do. Pointless and pitiful to groan about a rich life full of fun things to do. Slap me if you catch me falling into that trap, k? Anyway this picture is our little world at Harmony in a quiet moment. So beautiful! So rich!
If anyone has not seen Patty's version of the MODERN QUILT WRAP done up as a baby blanket make sure you stop by before we have to send it off to Hawaii for her new grandson's birthday present. I'm personally sure Phil Eponge has never looked so cool!!! We are sure glad this baby has all the creative energy stirred up around here. Each mitered square was done following the previous and so no sewing up was necessary. Very inspiring!!!
The Yarn Fairies have scored!!!!
-MALABRIGO HAS LANDED! After the tragic fire in their Montevideo warehouse last month (one week after we paid for our opening order no less) we were resigned to not seeing the shipment until production was restored in a few months. We sent sympathy, encouragement and cookies to Tobias and the crew when they were in Columbus for TNNA and were so surprised to get the news our order would be shipped from the secret warehouse in Michigan!!!! We are so grateful to this family and proud to support their efforts in making a sustainable business with beautiful yarn in their country. Great going, Malabrigo. (no charge for petting the yarn. it IS awesome.)
-CAROLYN DOE patterns have been re-stocked. Thank you to all the positive response , Coeur d'Alene! I cannot wait to run into some of the hats being knit in public.
-NEW BAGS for Harmony. We are continuing our efforts to improve life on this here planet by switching to our new Biodegradable Plastic Bags. Thank you all for reducing, re-using and recycling our bags.
-LIZARD RIDGE AFGHAN project is coming to a close...very soon done. We will display this piece for a year and will be looking for an appropriate venue to auction it off to donate to the High School Art Scholarship program. If you haven't seen the pieces, ask one of us to bring them out to view. They are inspirational.
-LOUET PRE-SALE is still available for you to sign up for. We will discount all Louet products: fiber, yarns and equipment for the spinner, weaver and knitter as we set up our order and you will be able to stock your shelves with great quality.
-ENCORE is back in Coeur d'Alene again and many of you have already discovered we are building the color selection. We will get new stock every month through September. It is truly America's favorite worsted.
Come on in and join us for some yarn play! We do indeed love to share our favorite yarns.
