LOTS OF NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY "LUCKY" CAT-ur-day!  MOM is at the shop working, so I thought I {Oliver} would do this week's giveaway so she can finish up her work and get home and let me outside to play!  I am working on being the world's best bird watcher!  {....So is my sister Wilma, we are a good team!} 

I haven't seen mom much this week... She said she has to work to make sure she keeps her customers happy!!!  So I am glad to share her with you!  I do know that the BB gals have been having a blast working together cutting kits, filling orders, taking your WOOLSTOCK sign ups.. as well as getting the Summer Blog Hop & Christmas in July ready!  I don't know how she does it... I can barely fit in eating and bird watching around my naps!  And I forgot... they have been getting in tons of new product for the shop (which will be open during WOOLSTOCK & the website!)  You can sign up on the website!

You should see the NEW threads she is putting on the web this week!  She told me that I could NOT play with them!  She said that they are special & gorgeous threads and all HAND DYED!  They are 6 strands embroidery floss in solid & variegated... as well as 2 weights of wool thread!  She knows you will LOVE them!  So watch for them on her website this week!  I promise I will only "LOOK" at them!!!!!! HAHA!

She also wouldn't allow me to lay on these pretty NEW Holiday wool bundles made for her by Blackberry Primitives.  You do not know how hard that was to resist!  She only has 24 bundles on her site now!  I told her they will fly out the door and that she better order more {and a few for me to lay on!!!}.  So I hope she does!  OH…. she also got her hands on some 5X5 inch charm packs of the Humble Beginnings line & coordinating Homespuns!  {Supply is limited}!

WOOSTOCK!  WOW!  Mom & the gals are getting excited!  They are half filled in 1 week!  They can't believe it!  They have so many exciting things {that she said are a surprise} planned and continuing to be planned!  They checked out the new facility and were able to add more students!  The facility is the perfect venue!  It is only 25 minutes from the airport {in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities}, is tucked back in a little wooded area, has beautiful lighting, bathrooms, is air conditioned….  And the best part is that it is super close to the shop, allows for late night open stitching/socializing & is one level… No more steep stairs!  Since it is so close to the shop… I will be keeping my eyes on all of you!  I know you will want to snatch all the new wool & fabric mom is getting in for the shop's début!!!!  I will be keeping my "paws" on a few pieces too!!!!!  AND… If you want to shop, you should plan to come!  I don't think mom plans on being open every day!  We all need her too much!!!!!

I tried to get mom & Joey to stop cutting more kits yesterday to put on the website, but they didn't listen {they never do!!!}!  So be sure to check out the truck kits… especially those NEW MINI ones!  They are super cute and if you have a cat… they will LOVE to lay on them too, like me!  They are 6.5X11!  They whip up quick and easy!

If you need some snuggle time with your cat… be sure to pick up the NEW SUMMER SIMPLY VINTAGE magazine to read while your cat snuggles in by you!  They now have a great new price of $13.95!  {They are now printed in the US}!  Now, if only mom could add cat treats to the website!  I might have to work on that one!!!!

Yesterday mom did take a break to go pick up the girls as it was their last day of school for the year!  Now Grace is a Freshman & Hannah will be a senior!  They are growing up!  I am reallllly lucky to have them as big sisters!  Now I have to adjust to them bothering me alllll summer long!  No more napping all day long!  That's ok… I think that might make it easier to sneak outside and study birds!!!!  {Hey, just because they are off of school, doesn't mean my "bird studying" is over!!! 

OK--- I need to take a nap so I better wrap this up!  Please leave a comment over on our FB page for me about your flowers, birds {haha} or anything that you are enjoying!  I will read them in between my naps!  Stay cool!  It is a hot one here today!!! KITTY KISSES FROM OLIVER!!! XXOXOXOXOXX
