Yeah!!

Healthy and happy.
Aelyn's back to her old tricks... running around "her" shoppe, eagerly awaiting customers to entertain by dancing to Moby, sprawling herself out in the middle of the sales floor...
or just sitting cutely on her shelf amongst the beautiful prints of Anna Maria. :)

Happy Every-Day and Joyful New-Year!

Hello friends,
Hope you all have had joyful and love filled days with your family and friends.
We are greatly looking forward to a New Year of service to you and to our sewing community. There are many wonderful things coming up, two that I am particularly excited about. The first: Over 20 prints of Anna Maria Horner's gorgeous NEW line Good Folks (oh, look at this too!), due to arrive January '09! and second our Shoppe is gonna have it's first Birthday! February '09. Yippy :)

Happy New-Year,
From your friends at Sew To Speak.



P.S. My apologies for not yet sharing pictures of the winning sheep. I will be posting some soon, I promise. But first things first... my baby's got a flu bug we've gotta nip. When it's safe to come out of quarantine we'll be going straight to the shoppe to visit Grammy, feed my fabric addiction and snap some pictures of those winning sheep.

The Gangs All Here

Hi friends,
The contestants have all gathered to graze in our front window and the votes have been pouring in. Thank you all for the wonderful response to our contest. We have 15 in the adult division and 2 in the young sewers division. If you haven't seen them yet you must stop in to check them out. Today is the last day to vote for your favorites from each division. It's truly a tough choice, they are all so unique and cute. Your winners will be announced and the prizes will be given in the Shoppe at our Sheep Celebration, this Saturday, Dec. 20th, 11-5.

Here are just a few of the members of furry flock...

For those of you that can't make it in this Saturday, I'll be sure to post pictures of the winning sheep and the names of their makers some time in the coming week.

Have a happy weekend.
bahhh.....
