I’ve had a busy couple of weeks in these parts, between my parents visiting for Thanksgiving (they stayed a week–it was an amazing visit and I was sad to see them leave, even after that duration), my continuing to settle into my new place, and the goings-on at ThreadBear. It’s been fun getting settled [...]
I have much to be thankful for, but since I’m trying to “keep it light” over here, I’ll recap that over at my personal blog. Suffice to say that I’m looking forward to an amazing year in 2010, as the latter months of 2009 have been months of change–lots of good change.
Speaking of [...]
Yup–lots has happened since we were last together, two weeks ago. Much of it is recapped over at my personal blog, so if you’re interested, head over there. This blog is for fun and games and other happy stuff.
What makes me happy? This, without question
Yup–that’s a photo of Sabrina (ThreadBear store manager), [...]
It’s been a harried week around these parts, between our store manager enjoying her vacation this week to a wide range of activities at the shop to me dyeing a BIG pile of yarn Tuesday evening to preparations for our weekend of fun and workshops with Janet Szabo and more. I couldn’t be happier [...]
I knew WEEKS ago that today was gonna be a fun day. Les, one of my favorite sales reps, called to set an appointment awhile back, hoping to be one of the first out of the gates (I mentioned how May 1 means several things, depending on your culture, or heritage in a post [...]
It’s been an overly-busy week of deliveries, classes, and sales rep visits at the shop. I apologize for not posting for the past few days, but we’ve had reps here all day on Thursday (Cascade and more), Friday (Skacel, Louet, Claudia, and more), and Monday (Westminster Fibers, Aslan Trends, Prism, and more). Not [...]
The past couple weeks have been of one main theme–of home and family. Not my familial home, but my current home, here in Lansing. And not really family of blood, but family of choice. I did celebrate my 45th birthday on Saturday, November 1st–thank you to each and every one of you [...]
Wow, what a surprise I received on Friday afternoon, when Matt made me close my eyes and turn my back to the tables in the center of the shop! I opened them to see his mother, Mary, standing before me (wearing a black, pointed witch hat), fresh off the plane from Georgia! I’m [...]
I do lead a charmed existence–I’m able to make a living (not a fancy living, and definitely not rakin’ it in!) doing something I love. I get to work with phenomenal people (our great customers, our staff, and lots of great vendors) every day, and of course there’s the goodies–amazing yarns and fibers, stunning [...]
What a great weekend we just wrapped up, on so many levels. Definitely one to remember, on several levels, for me. First off, the shop sponsored workshops with CookieA, designer of many beautiful socks and
fun person. That’s her reaction on Friday evening, just after arriving at ThreadBear and just after she [...]
