The Needle Bug

Yes to my special friend that comes to the Wednesday stitch group…Yes I will be there tomorrow so come as usual!!!

Last Wednesday we had a rather large group at The Bug and it was great!  

 The new thread to answer the call for Medicis is in…it is called BellaLusso.  It is 100% Merino Wool and made in Italy and it comes in 45 colours!

Mighty Bright has a new lamp - it is a floor lamp and very stylish.  Stop by and check it out!

I have had a rather interesting Friday - 3 dog visitors and a set of triplets!

I know, I know!!!!   I have not posted anything in quite awhile.  The shop has been buzzing though…the Wednesday stitch group (not everyone that shows up has their stitching with them) is great!!!!  Please come check it out!  Usually the group is here from 10am until about 12:30.

Adelaide is finally back!  It has been scary and definitely trying without her!!!  Just for the record she does not return emergency phone calls while on vacation!  As most of you know the computer when down right after she left - operator error or job security - who knows!?  But thank goodness the computer is back up and Adelaide is in the house!!!

Well it is almost time for the next BUG Bites!  If you have not entered your email address on the homepage to receive your newsletter, please do so now!  Stop in and see the new trays for Christmas.

Number 4 and number 5 of the Amy Bunger DVDs are in…call to reserve your copy now!  Also do not forget “Stitch-in Wednesday”  - bring your project and stop in and stitch awhile!!

I heard from the travelers - they are alive and well!!  “Moma, it was by far the best camping experience ever!”

Few websites to check out to see and read about a couple of places they have been:

The first newsletter went out a couple of days ago!  Some people have already been by the Bug to use their coupon and others dropped out their Jumble puzzle SOLVED!!  The Bug is considering entering the completed Jumbles in a drawing!!  Sign up for the July newsletter now!

Traveler Update:  Still no news must STILL mean good news…but today hopefully is the day I will hear -HEAR- from the travelers. The girlfriend of one of the travelers came by The Bug yesterday…we discussed who would get the first phone call - she said no matter what she would tell him to say “You! of course Mom!!!”  Now that is just one of the many reasons I love her!!
