Back from Vacation

September 13, 2008

It’s been a very busy summer and we just returned from a long, over-due vacation. We had a wonderful time visiting family and friends in Colorado. We went to the Scottish-Irish Games in Estes Park Colorado. It is a beautiful setting with lots of things to see – caber tossing, dancing competitions, bagpipe bands, clan tents, shopping, and more. It was decided that it was typical Scotland weather on the first day – cloudy and really cold. By the last day, it was beautiful and had warmed up.

In our shopping, we found some fun Celtic cross stitch bookmarks and clan crests. We have some fun Celtic projects on our site.

Since we moved to California last summer, we have been in cramped quarters. We are currently building a proper office space in the shop. Dennis is doing the work. I’ll get to paint and help move stuff in. It is a bit slow because of competing priorities, but it will be very nice when it’s done.

We’ve added new features to our website – a “What’s New” page and a “Kit of the Month”. Check out http://www.acornneedle.com/ for more information.
