First Meeting...good times!

Yesterday was the first meeting for the 2010-11 year of Holly Berries.  We had a wonderful time...all five of us. Missed Wanda, Susan, Ginny, Jeanne.  But we did come up with a basic calendar for the first few months.  AND we agreed that the FIRST Wednesday of every month will be our Wee Care time.  Not always workshops, but just a day with some time to sit and work on wee care.  Sit n Stitch time!! 

Sew...soooo....Our first Wee Care sit n stitch will be:  October 6th at the shoppe. Bring any wee care you are working on, or come prepared to put some together!! And please don't forget that WeeCare is not just gowns...bonnets, hats, blankets and more.

See you real soon!!   

Meeting on Wednesday June 16th

Email out to all members about our next meeting. Visitors welcom...this meeting will be Wee Care gown work and collection for year end report.  This is also our last meeting for the year, July and August will have sit n stitch days, along with some work days for our convention project.  Hard to believe we are into summer!! Come grab a small gown for summer stitching. See you Wednesday!!

Mother's Day 2010

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL

Samantha is modeling a sweet bishop dress which is now on it's way to be included in a raffle.

The yellow roses are from my garden here at the shop. A favorite of mine, my sister and yes, Our mother.

Mother's day memories are many. But none so sweet as all the other ordinary, everyday Mother's Day...each day with our mother, or with our children, all are sweet. May today be one of many to come for the young.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
