Snowmageddon!

February 8th, 2010

I’m hoping everyone is having a great and safe snow day, and everyone got some great knitting time in! 

I’m still stranded at home.  We’re praying we see a plow sometime today or tomorrow morning.  There’s only so much my truck can get through, and since I live uphill both ways, we have to wait for the plows to get out to the main road.

Here’s hoping I see you all tomorrow!

Stay warm and safe!

Yay snow!!!

February 5th, 2010

I’m hoping it’s a real snwstorm, and we get the expected snowfall.  Since it’s looking good, I’ll be closed Saturday, so I can stay home and knit.

I hope everyone has enough yarn to get them through the weekend.

Happy Anniversary!!!

January 30th, 2010

Can you believe that it has been 1 year since I first opened my doors?

Come by and celebrate with me on Tue. Feb. 2nd!  

I’m having a big sale - with a twist.    Everyone making a purchase that day will get to pop a balloon at checkout to receive their discount percentage. One lucky guest will receive 50% off the entire purchase!!!!!

Can’t believe how many great folks I’ve met this last year.  It had it’s ups and downs, but all the love and support I got from you guys made it all worth it!

Thank you all for your support!

Here’s to you!

The following is a huge thank you to all who donated scarves for the pancake house!  You all ROCK!!

The Original Pancake House

 

Thank you to all the knitters and crocheters.

 

Our Christmas day breakfast was a big success.  We served over 475 guests.  Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and especially enjoyed receiving the beautiful scarves that you all knitted for them.

 

The tremendous effort put out by all of you was way beyond anything we expected.  A total of close to seven hundred scarves were knitted.  The scarves that were not given out on Christmas morning were sent to various shelters and organizations that serve the less fortunate populations of our communities.  They were so beautiful and well done that some of the volunteers wanted to buy them (not for sale!).

 

Our special thanks to Kathryn Winsberg, Stacey Rabinovitz and Kathleen Stobie for their help.  With out them we would never have achieved such success.

 

Thank you again,

 

Jeff and Jane Bulman

Sneaking out early

January 28th, 2010

Tonight is my eldest first strings recital.  First year strings, for those of you not in the know, is a painful half hour of Mary Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and a third little tune usually involving the plucking of the strings.  Painful.

Since the only excuse I can think of to get out of the torture is a trip to the hospital, I’m sneaking out early to get to the concert on time. 

Believe it or not, I’m really looking forward to it, and will be the proud momma sitting in the front with the recorder on!

I’ll be here until 6:30.

See you tomorrow!

22 inches means that all HC schools are closed.   That means I’m home with my kids and a few extra.  Be safe out there, and I’ll see you Tuesday!
