No More Holes

{Get a seat not -take- my seat. Sheesh. She wants help on the newsletter and already she's slowing me down. Lovely. Yes, ladies and gents, the sarcastic daughter is back to do her part in entertaining our fine audience. The last newsletter? That was an imposter, not me. Geez, the corruption that happens when I'm away... oy. On the plus side, I've finally gotten the website up and running for the most part. You can visit www.gthreads.com. Anyhow, here's my mother to put in her chunk for Flying Threads. Hope you enjoy it!} You can tell that Elly is on vacation. We need to work together as mother and daughter {Right. This'll run smoothly}. Christina has arrived back from the east coast where she achieved 2 more credits towards her degree {Mother, shush... and leave me alone}. I am exhausted as she puts me through the paces for the website {*gasp* She has to work!}. Yes, we are now working. Note, www.gthreads.com. Love that website address. I suggest not going to www.goldenthreads.com, it is wild {*dryly* Found that out the hard way, didn't you}. Too bad we were too late in registering the site {Not my fault}. Anyway, we look sooo good. Now Chris has me doing eBay for the Eva Rosenstand kits. Wow, I am in the world of ecommerce. Not bad for one over 50 {yes, you ancient one, you}. Wait 'til Elly gets back. And she thought I couldn't do much damage while she was on vacation {no, that's what you think she thinks}. Has everyone recovered from me in the store... I didn't think so. Time to do some ordering for those classes {quick, confiscate the phone and fax machine! Um, maybe the computer as well}. You know what? Since Chris is going back to Guelph, I can party with an open house to show off our samples {if people could actually find the house under all the mess}. Think again, mother. It's not going to happen *bursts the bubble*.

Hangin' Out

Lucky for me that Chris let me get away with this poor English {so she thinks}. She did complain about the fact that the last Flying Threads had not one, not two, but three spelling mistakes {minimum}. What do you want from someone who is too busy hanging pictures from the new picture rail in the store. Did you know that Canadian Tire has 40 lb fishing line and you can hang pictures with it? But under those halogen lights it is hot. Speaking of hot, you need to come to the store to see that I did finish my millennium project -- Lanarte's Romantic Picnic. I became so obsessed that I neglected to cook or clean {and this is something new?}. When you come through the front door, it is hanging totally framed. I am so proud of myself. However, please note that the picture may be moved when Elly returns from another vacation. The Thursday night Therapy Group keep commenting on Elly's vacation. Between you and I, when you work with me, one needs many vacations to keep their sanity {no comment}. Everyone is getting ready for fall as they select their new patterns and fabric.

Auto mail is so wonderful. It just keeps arriving in the mail. The latest charts from Bent Creek and Emie Bishop's 2000 Christmas In My Heart (it's going to be a class in the fall, check out the schedule). The double pointed needle continues to be a seller. And the sleeper of the year are the silks, called "Au Ver De Soie". A very secretive society called the Silk Snobs are stitching with them -- just can't tell you who they are. But I do have a very special sample done by one of them. Check it out before it goes on the website.
