Here we go again!



There's obviously been another long lapse in posting here, so apologies for that. Sometimes life gets in the way of writing about life. ;)

Life has become a bit busier for me (Heather) as I found out in January that we are expecting baby number three. This news was quite a surprise to us and took some getting used to. I was sick as a dog for most of the first trimester and then had a period of bleeding which we attributed to a low lying placenta. That was really an emotional roller coaster ride as every time the bleeding would start, I would wonder if I was miscarrying. :( But now I am starting my 17th week and am feeling really good! Our baby is due at the end of September and we'll hopefully be finding out the gender in a few weeks' time. I have already started gathering a little stash of itty bitty cloth diapers and am most excited to find out the gender so I can start knitting little woolly soakers and longies...and of course hats and booties.

Suffice it to say, I won't be participating in the community garden this summer. Instead, we're going to do some container gardening in the backyard and will grow lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and perhaps a few other staples.

Spring is finally here, and Nona and I are back to making dresses for the shop. We have several new ideas brewing and are looking forward to offering some new items as well as new versions of our standard items. We're busy shopping for yarns and fabrics in bright and cheerful colors, so expect to continue to see our shop come to life with an infusion of color over the coming months.

All best to you - we hope you are enjoying spring and all of the inspiration and energy it brings!
