A green day at the shop and Win another pattern!

Shane was busy in the dye pan yesterday pumping out some of our popular spot dyed wools.  A full range of greens from yellow to blue and all in between.  That's a lot of scrunching!  From left to right the colours are as follows:  Evergreen, Grass Green, Emerald, Meadow, Chartreuse, Juniper (new formula), Antique Green, Spring Green, Triton Sea and Mermaid Tail.  These are but a few of our spots that can be found on our website under the wool category.   http://www.encompassingdesigns.com/dyed-spots.html

I was remiss in not taking a couple of photos of Lauri Troutman and her friend Cathy when they visited my shop yesterday.  I should go around with the camera strapped to my neck for photo opportunities.  It's a mindset I need to embrace as everyday occurrences make for great little stories.  Lauri and Cathy are in Nova Scotia for the opening of the North America Rug Hooking Museum this coming weekend and have made a trek across the province to visit as many rug hooking venues as possible.  It was really nice chatting and I hope to see them again!

Two sisters, Gail Mueller and Cheri Hempseed dropped by the shop while visiting the area from Orillia, Ontario. It's delightful to chat with rug hooker from other provinces.

Today's blog is short. I've been working nights to get orders done up and the shop is so busy again this morning there's no time to write!  So here's the pattern up for grabs today.  Select a number from 1-50 and if you hit the number in my head it's yours!  Leave your choice in the comments section of this blog.  Good luck!   Someone saw this "hot of the press" pattern this morning and bought it already so it's a hot one!   A sweet and simple design.  Sharla (named after a favorite childhood cousin from Springhill, NS) The pattern 28" x 43" -  On Linen

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Great Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Great Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Great Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO GREAT ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected] OR [email protected]

Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
