Fall lingered here in Calgary and we had wonderful bright days and then the Daylight Savings time-change happened and Bam! dark at 5pm ...
I have been having a fun and busy Fall with back to back Pop Up Events and retreats from August all the way up to November! Finishing up this coming weekend where I have my last 2024 Pop Up Store in Calgary.
This weekend's event is also a Stitching Retreat, Amy and I are excited to host 30 stitchers and welcome 2 other vendors! Natalia from Beaver's Stash.com and Kathy from Starry Village Stitcher! Everyone is welcome in the afternoons Saturday & Sunday 1-5pm at Meadowlark Park Hall in SE Calgary.
... and then I had more "adventure" than I was expecting when Canada Post announced they were going on a Nationwide Strike. I want to thank everyone who has been super patience with their orders, both the ones that are in limbo having already been mailed and then new orders waiting to ship.
Feel free to email if if you have any questions about your order.
Happy Stitching,
Jennifer Care

November Embroidery Tip of the Month:
Re-discover your Stash!
I know its rare for a business to not encourage you to purchase the newest designs or product but I think the end of the year is the perfect time to dig through your Stash and re-discover any hidden treasures.
Did you fall in love with a design but found you didn't have time to start the project during the year?
Do you have a beautiful fabric you have been waiting to use?
Did you purchase some fun and sparkly threads perfect for a holiday design?
Take some time this Holiday season and surprise yourself with a 'gift" you didn't know you already had!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
May the New Year be bright and your threads never tangle
