Well, here we are in Philadelphia ready to resume our trip to Baltimore for Stitches East and then back home again. We were trusting that our van and trailer were still safely parked where we left them. Sure enough, they were. So we happily drove to a nearby hotel to spend the night, had a good rest and when we came out the next morning, there was just a pile of glass where our vehicles had stood.
So now we're hanging on to our cellphones, hoping that when the phone rings it will be the police, telling us the vehicles were found. Please pray with us that this may be the case.
We had a little bit of merchandise shipped in for Stitches East, so Cherie and Elaine, Jan and Jenny will be there. If you are going to Stitches, please stop by the booth. We are having booksignings with Kaffe Fasset and Brandon Mabley as scheduled. Dutch and I will hang out in Philadelphia hoping that they will find our stuff in time to still bring it to the show.
A few years back, I lost my diamond engagement ring. After the initial shock and looking everywhere, I thought: we lost two children. Loosing a diamond is nothing. So here we go again. As upset as we are about the theft of our vehicles and merchandise, compared to loosing two children, it's nothing.
Stay tuned. As I have access to a computer, I'll keep you posted. First we have to go clothes shopping. All we have with us is our little carry-on bag with underwear. All our other clothes were in the van. My face also looks pretty scarry, since my make-up was taken from me at the airport........ Other than that, we're just great!

About Me
- Yarn Lady
- My husband, Duane (Dutch) and I started Yarn Lady around 1990. With God's help and guidance and with the help of some wonderful staff members and teachers, Yarn Lady has grown and prospered into a store where people can come and take classes and feel at home. Today we are blessed to take a back seat and have our business manager, Cherie take over the lead. You will find that she brings new excitement and insights to an already wonderful place. We can't wait to see what God will do through her leadership. Because Dutch and I want to fully retire, we have decided to look for someone who would want to step into a great business and bring their love and passion and lead Yarn Lady to even greater heights! We so appreciate all of our many loyal customers and wonderful staff and we just know that the best is yet to come!
