End of Summer

Hello Woolies!

Here we are at what feels like the end of Summer!  It has been a very hot Summer here in Colorado and I must admit that I look forward to cooler days.  I will miss the local Farmer’s Market that has been just around the corner from the shoppe.


We have been extra busy at The Little Wool Shoppe (our retail space) as we begin our “Close Out” sale next week and begin the process of closing our doors.  After 8 years and lots of changes it is time to close our doors to the day to day retail business.  I do believe that change is good and I am looking so forward to the next chapter in my designing life.  I will be so happy to be able to spread out my Studio/Design space and actually have room to breathe and more space to be creative in.  We plan to really “poop up” all of our on line services and will provide lots of great projects on line.  Still Retail….but Cyberspace style!  Stay tuned for all the fun!

So…………..as I have been cleaning out storage spaces and finding all kinds of cool things that I have had tucked away, I found these really cool Moda U tin boxes.  I was thinking………………how fun to fill this up with little fun projects, etc.  So…………………..leave a comment, sign on and we will draw for a winner on September 14th.  Here is a sneak preview of the tin box……………………





It is “Snowbuddies” time!  Well, I think of October as Halloween, so I have dressed our Snowbuddie this month in his Halloween mask and of course he is holding a carved pumpkin.  Instead of Bees fluttering around….a few bats.  Hope you like it!  Next month I will preview how I am planning on putting my blocks together.  



Have a great Labor Day weekend!  Bee safe!

    I love tins, and when not toting a project in it, it would make a great storage in anyones sewing room.

    What a cute tin. I am currently recovering from afractured arm so the only quilting I an doing is in my mind. This tin would hold a lot of Moda 2 1/2 squares for a charm quilt.

    Sure hope in all your cleaning out of "STUFF" you find a little woolie lamb with monthly blankets kit. I'm sure it would fit in one of those cute tins!
    Even if it doesn't, I still would love to have one of the kits...

    I really enjoyed it, too! The drive down the canyon in the rain was a challenge tho!
