The week that was - or still is!

So, this is how my week began.  With the closure of the shop nextdoor to mine, I have been able to re-open the doorway between the two shops and move my shop into nextdoor (a much larger shop area) which means I now have a fantastic light and bright sewing classroom (where my shop was) - absolutely wonderful! 

The empty "new" shop was cleaned up and painted in just a few days.  Maybe I should go on one of those reality home reno shows - I think I may even enjoy painting, but shhhh, don't tell anyone!

Look at all that extra space I can fill up!  And another lovely big window for creating window displays (I love that part) and also lots of light.

Can you see the corner of the classroom to the left?

All was done in time for Wednesday when I held a bit of an impromptu Sit & Stitch.  The stressing is over and now comes the fun part!  Please call in and visit the new & improved version of Veronica Violet Stitcheries.

My lovely friend Kathy, (who had a holiday "shack" next to us at Moyhu when we were kids) and  who I have known for 41 years (OMG can you believe that) came to stay and "play" in my shop for a couple of days.

There was lots and lots of talking, laughing, sewing and eating.  Check out this yummy lunch Kathy made for us and yes it was delicious.  I tried to convince her to stay and although the lure of the fabric was strong, I really had no hope of stealing her from her husband and kids.  Come back soon, we miss you!

My newsletter is well and truly overdue, but all good things come to those who wait.  I'm still in the last stages of finalising the class list, which will be added to my blog and to facebook hopefully next week.  Don't really know what I was thinking when I planned to print and mail 500 news letters while moving shop.  A wise man once told me not to get my "capablety mixed up with my ability" or was it my "ability with my capablety"!!!!!

That same man also told me "a wise man never goes anywhere without his coat", something I remember everytime I walk out my door :-)

Happy Stitching,

Carolyn
