Life has been hectic for the past few weeks. (That is very likely the understatement of the century. Possibly the millennium.) The reason for this is that my Mom and I have done a completely crazy, insane and wonderful thing…
We bought a yarn shop!
Not just any yarn shop, but The Village Yarn Shop, which we’ve renamed The Village Yarn & Fiber Shop as we now carry spinning fibers and supplies. For the past several weeks we’ve been spending every waking moment (and maybe some sleeping moments) counting, inventorying and shelving yarn. We are nowhere near done, but we opened the doors yesterday and will be having a grand opening sale through the end of this week.
It’s been busy, in a fabulously good way, and aside from the guilt I’m feeling over no longer being a full-time stay-at-home mom to Carrie, this has been wonderful so far!
(And yes, I know, technically the yarn in the shop is not my own personal stash, but it’s fun to pretend!)

Wow….congratulations!!! How fun to be able to work with your mom.
Wheeee! How exciting. Best of luck to you and your mum. If i am ever in your neck of the woods (unlikely, but ya never know) i will pop in and say “hi” . And maybe then spend some money. :P
Yay! Congrats on making it work! That shop is right across from my old church… I’ll pass it along to people (of course, you’re closed on Sundays, but I can’t blame you for that!). Any chance of extending that sale for special out-of-town visitors over Labor Day Weekend? Hint- hint… I’ve got a few hours to kill and would love to stop out if I can convince the family that I need more yarn… :)
Yay!
Very very nice . . . and I probably would consider it my very own private stash . . . even though I would have to part with it.
My comment disappeared…weird.
Anyways – congratulations! That is so exciting.
Talk about busy – whoo lady you must be run off your feet.
And ummmm I think it is your stash – until someone else buys it – I mean, possession is 9/10th’s of the law right?
Congrats to you and your Mom again.
:-)
Hi!
I found your blog from reading ljcfyi, and I have been quietly reading and enjoying since before you had Carrie!
I know you must be really busy right now, but I am just dying to know how the yarn store is working out for you! Congratulations!
