HERE WE GO - a new look for town.

Welcome to 2018! Happy New Year! The holidays were as usual, a rush, lots of busy times in the shop, late hours in the studio and plans with family and friends. I am actually enjoying these quiet evenings now that things have settled.

The one thing I do miss though are Christmas lights so tonight my sweet hubby- bubby, wound amber colored lights around my raven screen in the dining room. I adore the color and every time I see the special light, the glow of this warm color, memories of the holidays rush in to make me smile and pause in the moment. 

If you have been to downtown Port Townsend since New Year's day, you just might, maybe, have noticed all the construction equipment about. Big diggers, lots of men and women at work, noise, trucks, signs and dust. Port Townsend is undertaking a massive project for 4 blocks; redoing streets, sidewalks, under grounding power and fixing ancient water lines. It may be noisy and a bit congested at times, but we remain open for business from 10:30 to 5:00. ( We will be closed on Tuesdays beginning next week. Finally, Phil and I will have a day off together! ) Who knows what mischief we can now get into? Maybe we will do some long awaited projects ourselves and even tidy the warehouse or...or....or....

Everywhere a sign - directing you to wonderful, bountiful shopping and dining!

With all the construction around, the activity has inspired me to clean out all the secret nooks and hiding places I have squirreled away stuff into for the last oh, 26 years or so. Great stuff. Treasures even. What am I going to do with all this stuff, you might ask? I will be putting it out all over the shop, yarn store and lobby at garage sale prices. Ah, the good Feng Shui of it all! Stop in, you may be surprised at what you find.

Now, it is getting late and sleep is calling me. Class schedule is coming up shortly. Until then sweet dreams and a pleasant tomorrow.

 Summer is really here with the temps expected to rise to the high 80's or low 90's next week. In my shops downtown, it makes for warm times as we are in that wonderful old 1889 building. No one wants to see me in shorts but I will be thinking of my one ago youth when short and halter tops were my go to summer wear.  These days, when I am not at the shop you will find me knitting in the sweet blue Amish made rocker on my front porch. I even hooked up a fan out there. It keeps the mosquitos away. I am a daydreamer the entire time I knit so I am having mini vacations on the porch.  Sorry this posting is so brief, but it is Sunday and I promised to work Diva so off I go. Today I am open from 12 - 3ish. Come say hello and see the new Cascade yarns that have arrived. Pictures next time. XO, Lois in summery Port Townsend.
