February 2020

 

February has arrived!  How is your year going so far?  Are you taking some personal time to slow down after the busyness of the last few months?  Have you had a chance to reflect on your goals or intentions for the coming year? Maybe you are finally getting to that project that you put off until after the holidays.

The day in Victoria started with some snow, but that has now ended and we are back to the rain.  Perfect weather for stitching and knitting I say.  Here are a few new things we have in the store that might help get you through the rest of February.
