SISTERHOOD FIBRES IN BARACHOIS SAVES THE DAY!!

 I visited Sisterhood Fibres today, in Barrachois, just outside of Tatamagouche, on the north shore of Nova Scotia.  I was in search of a special yarn to finish a little project - keeping in mind, that I haven't picked up my knitting needles in a couple of years ... but with all my spare time ... I ended up running out of yarn to finish the last couple of inches of my project. 

Fortunately, the wonderful owner, Faith, helped me to find just the right yarn to compliment the yarns in my project ... now the trick is to get it finished - in my spare time!!  😂

If you have a love of yarns, whether you knit, crotchet , weave, macramé, or enjoy any facet of the world of fibres, you must visit Faith at Sisterhood Fibres!!  Her wonderful shop is as warm and welcoming as she is ... and if you are interested in starting at the beginning of a yarn adventure, Faith has the skills, patience and ability to get you started along the right path!

And, let me add a happy hello to Sue!  She was coming in the shop as I was leaving ... Sisterhood Fibres is a wonderful place to meet wonderful people and enjoy the magic of the fibre world!  I do hope you will plan to visit soon!

Looking ahead - Spring 2022

    With the sunshine streaming through the window, the snow receding to small patches along the fields and roadways, signs of new daffodil shoots popping up under the apple tree - all encouraging signs that spring will be along soon!

   My 'to do" list seems to have grown over the winter, even with a steady pace, I have slowed down since last fall ... isn't it amazing how Mother Nature leads the way with energized encouragement by the slow and steady renewal of spring.

   I am going to be purging my fabrics and supplies - hopefully by finishing up some projects and preparing for some new project requests for this year.  One never knows what adventures can be found when you least expect them!

   I think it's almost time to recruit a helper - Thimblelina - or an apprentice to learn the trade ... it seems to be a lost art, and there's so  much to share and teach to those who are interested in the sewing world.  

   In the meantime, I'll continue down my "to do" list and be ready to jump into the spring activities that I have prescheduled!  It's going to be an interesting year!

  Hope your spring is refreshing and reenergizing as we pick up the pace with the longer sunny days ahead!  Enjoy!!
