winter 2010

cabin fever

Congratulations!

(What are you being congratulated for, you ask?)

You have navigated safely through the Holidays and now that 2010 is off and running it is officially "Sewing Season."

If you ever needed an excuse to stay indoors and plant yourself firmly in front of your sewing machine, the cold weather and shorter days are surely valid reasons.

(Of course, if you live in a warmer climate I have no excuses to offer you: only jealousy!)

Winter in Maine can be wonderful, but it can also make you a little "nutsy."

We have all developed our own coping mechanisms: snowshoeing, baking, reading... February getaways to the Virgin Islands...

And of course what could be more therapeutic than gathering with a group of friends to socialize, commiserate, eat, laugh and sew?

Here at Alewives we would love to fill your days with inspiration...

Whether it be taking one of our classes, joining our Sewing Lounge, participating in the Craft Swap or stocking up on all the latest fabrics, the ladies at Alewives Fabrics will be here to get you through.

Hopefully you can find a little space in your day to peruse our ever-changing website and find something to keep you out of trouble here at Alewives Fabrics.

And if you start to feel a little bit of the "Cabin Fever," sympathy is just a car ride, phone call or e-mail away!



Sincerely,

Rhea and Barbara at Alewives
