Forgive me dear blog, I have not forgotten you or those who read you; but you know how it goes, works gets busy, the weather turns warm, the snow melts and then suddenly after months of not having anything to do your overwhelmed with the shear quantity if things you must accomplish…
And here we are, just days away from the May-Jun of the Spin Along shipping and I never even showed you a hint of what the Mar-Apr round looked like! How can you ever forgive me?
I will not make a promise I cannot keep, but: I will try really, really hard to stay on top of things around here…
Has really been a year?
Really? One year since ITW was launched?!
Over the past year I have learned more then I can even begin to describe. I have been blessed with many things since the launch of ITW, but none of them rival the friendships formed. To describe the past year is virtually impossible. Instead I will just say that it was spectacular and thank each and every person I had the privilege of working with, talking to, chatting with and in some rare yet delightful instances; actually meeting!
I think one of the best parts of ITW’s birthday is that it coincides with the Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool Festival which pretty much guarantees lots of colourful pictures in this post…
In celebration of ITW’s birthday there will be a shop update on Saturday May 1st at 8:00pm EST. And, as an expression of my sincere appreciation; shipping fees will be disabled from 12:00am Saturday morning until 11:59pm Saturday night.
Thank you again and see you Saturday!
Twenty-seven pounds of hand painted fiber bagged, tagged and ready to list in the shop on 1.12.2010 at 10:00pm EST!
