Moving westwards, from our old friends Permin of Copenhagen, we have Christmas in Town Advent Calendar - and there's just about enough time to make it before next Christmas.
Lanarte have released a third 2025 Collection with flower designs by Marjolein Bastin. Please ask for details if you're a fan of hers. At the same time they've brought back an old favourite Vera the Mouse.
Bothy Threads will be introducing a whole new set of the sugary-sweet Gorjuss kits in April, each with cute girl and interesting printed background. Watch this space (and remember to brush your teeth).
Kreinik The Light at the End of the Tunnel
We had another delivery of Petite Treasure Braid from Rainbow Gallery and a few Kreinik. (although only some of those requested by our customers). We've expanded our stock to include the complete range of Rainbow Gallery petite treasure braid.
Because of postage costs, we can only offer these items for UK delivery.
Vacation
We, like many other small UK businesses, have been bludgeoned with more and more red tape over the past few years. So we're planning to take a break some time in April to recharge our depleted batteries. This means the shopping cart will be unavailable for a week or two during April.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We hope to be return recharged and re-invigorated!
And Finally
Our title this month is from a poem by our perennial favourite poet Emily Dickinson:
«A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period
When March is scarcely here»
We think she meant the word 'light' to be taken figuratively, a light that we feel rather than see with our eyes. The light of hope and optimism.
We hope you agree and we wish you the lightest of Aprils and the pleasure of your stitching.
