We are lucky in the town where I live - we have 2 knitting/sewing/crafty shops, both well stocked and very helpful, but I sometimes need to look further afield. <BR/><BR/>A xStrawberry Jam Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695110960213262472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-64325073630801080592008-11-25T10:32:00.000+00:002008-11-25T10:32:00.000+00:00HI Winnifred!Lovely kits..Sew and So are fantastic...HI Winnifred!<BR/>Lovely kits..Sew and So are fantastic and are often winning awards from Uk X-stitch magazine poll awards..I use them for everything we cant get here in Ireland..which is most things.<BR/>Some kits will come with pre-sorted threads..but a lot dont, especially the smaller kits.

There used to be some little scrapbook stores around us, but they just can't compete with the big craft stores. <BR/><BR/>BTW, the next time it snows in Marion, I'm going to take a picture of Jim and the snowblower.<BR/><BR/>`hippo hugs~<BR/><BR/>P.hippo chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404395478018699210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-62862554841061823322008-11-24T04:24:00.000+00:002008-11-24T04:24:00.000+00:00Gday Winifred, Love the Beatrix Potter cross stitc...Gday Winifred, Love the Beatrix Potter cross stitch. I used to do a lot of Tapersry's and cross stitch and Taught my daughters they do lovely fine work. I only knit or crochet throw rugs ,Afghans these days. I can get my wool locally and most cottons but would have to travel about 45mins to get if I still wanted fabric or charts.. If you wish to View my Taperstries and embroidery there in my Archives on my side May 2008 and june 2007 and a couple of my rugs September 2008... Happy viewing<BR/><BR/>Hugs JenJeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993328454036416214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-32104659349548480512008-11-24T04:22:00.000+00:002008-11-24T04:22:00.000+00:00Oh peter Rabbit!

I do love the bear and Peter Rabbit. I have so many projects that I have started and not finished it is sad. I must have thought that if I bought all these projects when they were "on sale" I would make them when I had the time. It hasn't happened yet. Ha.

It's too bad so many of these specialty shops and factories are closing. I've been ordering my knitting supplies online for quite awhile. I've only been disappointed once or twice when the final item has arrived. I've only been let down by a supplier once when ordering supplies online. Because I'd used Paypal, my purchase was readily refunded.<BR/><BR/>I adore that teddy bear.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-16549342716917050702008-11-22T17:07:00.000+00:002008-11-22T17:07:00.000+00:00I don't cross stitch, but I love the Tale of Peter...I don't cross stitch, but I love the Tale of Peter Rabbit.
