Dear Friends,
      HAPPY 2009! I am so glad 2008 is over and now we can start our new year with the hope of peace, happiness and prosperity for all!!
      This past year has been a struggle for so many of us. For those of us who stitch, we know that it is “good therapy”.
      So, what has been happening here to A STITCHER’S HAVEN throughout all the mess? Like most businessess we have felt the strain. We had to tighten our belts as well and we continue to appreciate the loyalty that you have shown us. We will continue to have our bi-monthly CLINICS plus I am continuing to write blogs.
      Speaking of blogs, check out our blog at:
               www.gotyarn-ginny.blogspot.com
      There are lots of helpful hints and at times I get ideas because of a customer’s problem (that gets solved.)   So, I like to share them with you. Please read my blog. There is a tab you can click onto for “COMMENTS”. Please make them because I would love to read them! You will DEFINITELY learn a lot!! Take a few minutes and see for yourself.
      Check out our CLASS SCHEDULE! This is a chance to unleash your talents! If you are STUCK in the scarf/afghan mode, then our classes will get you out of your COMFORT ZONE. You will be surprised how much fun you will have--I guarantee it. You dreamed about it, now you can do it!
See you all soon!
          Love,
             Ginny

WWKP

What does WWKP mean? World Wide Knitting in Public Day. We held WWKP on Sunday, November 9.
Instead of just knitting to show the community that people still DO knit, we decided that it would be better to have a community service project as well.
We chose to knit sweaters to fit stuffed bears. Plymouth Yarns donated ENCORE WORSTED. Everyone had yarn to knit with and you should have seen the variety of sweaters. We had 18 stitchers that started outside (and some went inside to keep cool.) As we knitted, people were passing by to and from Publix and saw what we were doing. Thanks to one of our customers, Blanca Adornos, who has a special talent, patrons were donating bears and dollars towards our efforts! Thanks Blanca!
It’s funny, when we do community service, the help comes pouring in! I was pleasantly surprised !! Bears, reindeer and penguins were donated by many! Blanca went into Publix and showed one of the assistant managers what we were doing, and Publix donated 6 animals!
The deadline for the sweaters was Monday, December 1 and our animal total was over 60! In our shopping center, we have a State Farm Insurance branch and they were a TOYS FOR TOTS drop off. We brought in all the toys to them and I received a letter thanking all of our stitchers. We were also informed that the toys went to the I. Lorraine Thomas Children’s Home Society.
Ladies, you went above and beyond the call of duty!!
Thank you so much for your time, energy and love! I am so proud of your efforts!!!! Here’s to our next WWKP!!

 


RESULTS OF DECEMBER SPECIAL

We held a December Special, which ended December 23. With every $50 purchase your name was placed into a drawing for one of three $25 GIFT CARDS to PUBLIX. The three winners of the GIFT CARDS were:
Fern Gerber, Sandy Grodin and Shoshy Roback. Congratulations to all of you. I hope that we helped during the holidays!
