Trapeze Mystery KAL Almost Finished!

I have really enjoyed this project from Laura Nelkin.  Each clue was given with enough time to finish the step and go work on other projects.  I can't wait for the last clue so I can see what it is going to turn out to be!


Happy Stitching!

Please Help Me Support Animal Assisted Therapy at PCH


Lily Bear and I have been volunteering at the hospital since January of this year. We can see, on a patient by patient basis, the positive results of pet therapy for patients, family members and staff.  Please help us meet and exceed our goal of raising $100.00 for the animal assisted therapy program at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Regards to all,
Karen (Sadow) and Lily Bear

Desert Dog Dash benefiting the Animal Assisted Therapy program at Phoenix Children's Hospital will run September 23 - October 23.

Thank you for helping me reach my fundraising goal!  This is a great opportunity for us to work together and make a difference for sick and injured children in our community. I'm really excited to help the patients and families at Phoenix Children's.

It's so easy to make a donation - just click here.  Then you can say, "I helped the kids at PCH!"

Restock of Ecru Spinning Fibers!

One of the things I love most about this store is when I receive a shipment of new spinning fiber.  I had that pleasure a couple of weeks ago when I received a fresh box of roving.  Included are:

BFL Superwash
Merino/Bamboo
Merino/Bamboo/Silk
Merino/Tencel Superwash
Firestar





Happy Spinning!

c2knits Katy Top Down Tank

I've just received another wonderful design from c2knits

Katy is a simple topdown tank with tons of great color blocking options!  Pair her up with some some shorts or the perfect little summer skirt.  Don't forget to search through your stash for some lingering leftovers; you can mix-and-match all over the place!

Happy Sitching!

City Girl's Fiber Farm Update

I have received several pictures and a video of ZZ Top being sheared.  For those of you who purchased shares, I will be cleaning the last 2 fleeces from ZZ very soon.  We only have one fleece from Cocoa this year as she did not have a good coat this spring, sigh. I am still working on a logo for the farm, so I still may not have certificates this year for you, but I will still keep trying to get that done.  We may be breeding Cocoa in a few weeks.  I will let you know if there is a new lamb on the way! 

Happy Spinning!

Something You Might Like-Phoenix Children's Hospital and Petsmart Video

Many of you know that one of my greatest joys in life is volunteering with one of my dogs, Lily Bear.   Yesterday Lily Bear and I were invited to participate in the launch of a new program at the Phoenix Children's Hospital.  Petsmart donated over $400,000.00 to fund the animal assisted therapy program at the hospital and we were on hand for the big event.  All of the TV stations had cameras on hand and Bear made it into several shots.  She is one of 2 yorkies on the staff at PCH.  She is the little one sniffing the camera lens.  They have shortened the clip from it's original size, but they did keep showing her during the story, along with many of the other special dogs that are part of this program.

Happy Stitching!
