January 2022

              January has arrived and so has the cold weather - it actually felt good to have a few days off in a row that I could stitch. I will be posting new shop models once they are framed. As many might not know, we have been having issues with our inventory program for some time. Well things came to a head in November, and we were forced to get a new program fast. Since that time, we have been trying to inventory everything in our shop. If you have ever visited us, you will know that is a very large undertaking and it is taking us much longer than we expected. Hopefully within the next three months, we will know what we do and do not have in stock. Also, I will be posting under a "One Time Only" tab on our website, one of a kind pieces of fabric many are hand-dyed fabrics as well as discontinued Zweigart fabric . These are off cuts, or odd sizes. I will be adding some each week, so check back often. I have added counters so they are deleted as they are sold.

Also, once our inventory is completed, I will be adding more items to our Dollar Days tab.

            As I say again - Lakeside Linens and Picture This Plus are taking 9 months + to get back into stock. They are out of 40 Ct. Linen and have been for months with no idea when they will receive more. Also, all flosses from The Gentle Arts and Gloriana Silk are taking weeks to months to get back into stock. These issues are supply and dye issues with no end in sight. Again, as I always say, order well in advance or sub these products if you want to start you project sooner rather than later. Mill Hill has increased all their bead prices as well as all their Kit prices. Zweigart has increased some of their fabric prices as well. Our suppliers always tell us what is new, they never give us an advance warning when prices are going up. We only find out when we place a restock order. We have been experiencing delays with receiving patterns and kits from overseas. All items are sent the day they arrive. Again - order well in advance to avoid disappointments.
