Sit among friends, family and colleagues and cheer on your favorite Baseball Team. Beginners, intermediate and experts are all welcome. | Our list is growing! Don't miss out!

the Angels: September 14 Save the date, make plans to invite your
friends to a FUN afternoon at the ballpark! Our own Cherie is the contact person. Talk to her about it and get on the list! The Angels aren't sure if we can fill the seats...... LET'S SHOW THEM!!!! Tickets are $12.00 each plus a possible service charge of $3.00 per order if you want the tickets mailed. Call Cherie at the store 949 770 7809 for more information | ||
| Hall of Fame | Some time ago this question came up and I received wonderful letters from some of you, telling me what makes knitting and crocheting so important in your lives. Why is it that we spend lots of money on yarn, patterns and supplies, spend more time learning the craft by taking classes and workshops and then spend countless hours actually making our project? When we first started our business at the Orange County Swapmeet, I had a customer who bought lots and lots of wool for an afghan she was making. She finally told me that she was working on her Ph.D. in Psychiatry and keeping her hands busy helped her. We had already opened our store when she came in one day all excited, waving a business card under my nose, exclaiming: "Gaby! I did it! I opened up my office! If you know anyone who needs counseling......" and before I could grab the card, she yanked it back with: "What am I talking about... they come to you for counseling......!!!" We
would love it if you shared with us again, why YOU knit or crochet and what it
does for you. |  | ||
| Inspiration | Have you ever wondered where inspiration comes from? Our favorite son-in-law is just finishing his second book on inspiration. The first one is titled: Caffeine for the Creative Mind and soon his second in the series will be available. A
while back he offered a workshop at our store to help us find the creative person
within us. Since they have moved farther away, it is not as easy for us to ask
him back, but I thought his ideas were worth re-visiting. Please |  | ||
| New Summer Hours | Just another reminder...... Our new Summer Hours are: Monday - Thursday 12-8 | This gives us a little breather during all the vacation times during the summer and we hope it doesn't mess with your schedule too much! | ||
| New Class | New Sock class | You KNOW how popular socks
are. Jan is offering yet another sock workshop beginning on July 23 and it will go for 4 weeks. The classes will be held from 6-8PM Please contact Jan for info | ||
| New Workshop | New Friday class | Jan is adding another class by popular demand! It will be every Friday from 10 to 12 AM starting July 18, 2008. If you want to join her for knitting and crocheting just show up or contact her in advance. | ||
| More Free Patterns | Recently
I have decided to share with you some of my patterns for free in appreciation
of your patronage and to help you use up your stash yarns and to inspire you to
buy new yarns. So rather than sending them to you each week, which proved to be
quite the task, Please call the store toll-free at 1 888 770 7809 for any of your yarn needs or e-mail me with any questions. Enjoy! Please note: The patterns are mine and you have permission to use them for yourself and even pass them on, but not for you to use commercially. Thanks so much!

| Yarn Lady on YouTube | We had so much fun uploading the last video to YouTube, that I searched my files for film I had taken at the store and uploaded two more small clips. Enjoy! | |||
Store Samples
| As you probably
know, we try to have lots and lots of samples throughout the store. Perhaps you
wonder what happens to those samples after we no longer carry the yarn. Well I
gave many of them to our daughter and she placed them on Etsy to sell. If you are interested, please check them out! |

| On a personal note: |
A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' . For those who didn't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island . Father and son went on to complete the race together. Click Here to View the Film Clip of the Duo. What challenges are we facing today? Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:25-27 (in Context) Matthew 19 (Whole Chapter)
