Summertime 2022

It has been a beautiful summer here in Victoria.  The warm temperatures are welcome after the cool spring we had.  The berries came later this year because of the cool weather but they are abundant and delicious now.  Blueberries and strawberries are my favorites, what are yours?

Have you been knitting or stitching this summer?  Many of our customers do both.  Some knit come fall and stitch in the summer.  I have been busy stocking the store and getting ready for the fall season.  A difficult task when I just don't want the summer to end.
