I was hoping to have the latest batch of hand-dyed threads in the shop next week but unfortunately that’s not going to be possible.
A few thread types are done but I still have many more skeins to wind, and then they will need sorting into sets, photographing, describing and listing, all of which takes more time than you might expect.
Further progress will be limited because it looks as if our long-awaited house move may finally be happening the week after next, and I will have to close the shop temporarily while I focus on packing.
The shop will close on Tuesday 20th February, and will re-open as soon as I’ve been able to unpack my supplies in our new home. I don’t know how long that will take, but I’m aiming for the first or second week in March. If you’re looking for daily stitching templates while the shop is closed, you can now get those through my Teachable school here.
A preview of some of the silk threads that will be coming next month:
And in the meantime, here’s what I’ll be doing next week:
See you on the other side 🤞🏻

So glad for you that the new house is finally going to happen! It will be a LOT of work between now and settling in. You know how to do that: take it one day, one small patch at a time.
I’m kind of dreading the upheaval and temporary chaos etc but yes, I will try to pace myself. I’m probably better at doing that with needle and thread than in real life 😎
Good luck! Very best wishes for the move 👍
thanks so much, Marjorie
Good luck!! 🤞 It will be so lovely to have it finally over and done with! 🙂
won’t it just! thanks so much 🙂
Good luck with your move! You probably won’t be able to find anything when you arrive in your new house, but I look forward to ordering some skeins when you’re settled. 😊
thanks so much, Pauline. We’ve been in our current home for twelve years so a change could be challenging! We’re looking forward to it though.
Ugh! Moving. Every time I do it, I say never again. But then I get there and empty all the carboard cartons and get settled, then all is well again.
ha, yes it’s usually the thought of it that’s so off-putting. I like unpacking much better than packing and am looking forward to finding new homes for everything.
Good luck with the move. It’s challenging and exhausting but no doubt you will get it all settled.
thanks so much, Bernie. Looking forward to getting settled.
Oh, hurray for you! I hope things settle into place for you with the least bit of confusion possible.
thanks so much Stephanie 🙂
Sending as much encouragement as I can – I hope the move is as painless as can be!
thank you! it’s been unbelievably difficult so far, so it’s good to know the end may finally be in sight
