Thoughts from Phyllis
I hope
everyone has enjoyed their summer. I
can’t wait to hear about the vacations you have been on and interesting things
you have done over the summer. I have
been here – just working…taking care of my grandchildren…and sewing a
little. I am ready to get back in the
swing of things! Ready to get back to
routine, Fall, and football!
We were busy
over the summer at Lace Cottage with our Sew-Ins. Some of you have joined us – they have been
fun and productive. We will continue to have them at least once a month through
the fall so if you get time, plan to come!
I know we
have had a few grandbabies born this summer – remember to bring pictures of
your little ones!
See you
Tuesday!
