Working on a New Display for Sassy Skein

(This post was put on hold due to a family emergency. All is well now)

The Sassy Skein's Karibbean Kotton Kollection and patterns are due to arrive early this week. Wanting something special for displaying the yarn and patterns, Joe suggested we search our favorite antique gallery for furniture. After a couple of hours +, we finally decided to put 2 pieces together. The top is an Ethan Allen hutch and the bottom is an old desk that is about 50 inches wide. We will be arranging/moving things about to make a bit of room in the shop.

We have a lot of leftover Anne Sloan paints. Joe,of course, thinks its sacrilege to paint Ethan Allen even if it is missing its bottom half! The orange sherbert color came about after some creative mixing! Joe painted all day Saturday and they look great!

This is the before picture -

This is the after picture

 

We are pleased with the outcome and hope everyone enjoys the new line of patterns and cotton yarn!

Louise the Lovebot

I don't think I posted a final picture of Louise. She was fun to knit! Ella rae Classic wool was used for her body. Louie became Louise when she decided she needed a little skirt/tutu in Tecido Trico Floral. It was so easy and really "made" her! Then, she had to have a necklace and earrings...... You know how girls are!

Louise is on view in our front window. After Valentine's Day, she will be moved to the Baby Area. I'm sure she will love it there!
