Fall and Winter starts showing up in Nanny Goat Crafts

I have some new aprons and towels that have Halloween and Fall motif.  Now that Irene has left town I can start working on more Fall and Winter goodies.  Aprons, hot mitts, napkins, coasters and towels are on that list of things to make.  Right now we have some onesies, tee shirts and bibs for the wee ones to add to their fun of Fall and Halloween.  The sizes of 4 to 6 have a few tees to put them in a Fall mood. I have sweat shirts for the 4 to 12 sizes for the cooler weather that is coming.  Then I have the wide verity of caps and mittens from 0 baby to XL adult.  There are a few scarfs too.  A lovely pray shawl in multi colors awaits a lady who is in need of the comfort of its warmth.

Some Christmas has showed up in the store for those who need to get things early.  Aprons with old world Santa's and snowmen are in. Hot mitts that match some of the aprons are here too.

From pumpkins to Santa's there are a few new items to look over here at Nanny Goat Crafts.  Come on down and find the right gift or clothing here at 15 E. 2nd Street in downtown Frederick.

Oh Irene

We are very happy that Irene has gone on by.  We here in Frederick town have had no damage to our house or most of our neighbours.  The only thing that I did notice were the leaves stuck on all of the walls of the house and windows.  Today, Monday, is bright and sunny with a bit cooler temps.  Thank God it was not worse!

Do I hear Fall taping at my window?

Oh, I think I hear Fall tapping at my window. Yes, I do believe, I have seen a few changes.  The goldenrod is five fingers long and very golden in color.  The chestnuts have started to fall and the chipmonks are running to harvest all  the nuts they can find.  Some of the trees are dropping their leaves because of driness but some have turned just a little. 
Here in the store have started to see the Fall and Winter fabrics come slipping in and I have started to clean up the Summer fabrics. There are new aprons for Fall and a few for Christmas too.  I shiver to think of the coming of Fall and Winters chilly days.  But that is a good thing since we have been haveing very hot temps for a few weeks now.
I have been getting a few over coats that need the linning rehemmed and the buttons put back on.  The hems of a few jumpers have come my way too.  So, my faithfull readers, if you have a few things to be fixed before you wear them for the Fall and Winter please bring them down so I can fix them soon. 
In the store I have a few new clothes for Halloween. Childrens sizes only for now.  But I plan to have more clothes soon.  Not just for kidds, but everyone.
The children will be, if not already, back to school and there will be more time for looking into all the find shops in town.  You might even find here a few great ideas for the college bound student too.  And, Oh my, the gifts that you will need for all the up and coming celebrations.
So, when you get to cleanning out your Spring and Summer clothes to move in the Fall and Winter clothes check out the sewing problems or needs and come see Me, Trish, at Nanny Goat Crafts I will help you.  That way Fall and Winter wont catch you off gard.

First Night of August

It was a grand night for  the August's First Night weekend.  It started out to be the usual hot and dry. But it
made it to cool rain in a hurry.  The sky's opened up with large rain drops and the rain was a cold rain.  People ran for cover. The people that ran into our small shop got to see a shop that some had not been in before.  We all were talking about  Nanny's Mending Basket and the many things that are in the shop.  With Fall coming in with schools opening, kids going back at the end of August, we started talking about hats and mittens.  I have been asked if I will be making anything in fleece.  Yes people I hope to have a few things in fleece like scarves and capes.  I have been thinking  of making a few new things too.  But, you will have to wait and see what comes up in the window.  Please come and see me if you need anything made for you or your children.  Oh yes, we make pet things too!

All and all we had a wonderful August's First Night weekend!  Thank all who came in last night it was great having you here.

Nanny' Mending Basket

We have said in other posts that Nanny Goat Crafts will be opening a new part to her shop.  Well on August's First Night we did.  Many people came in an asked questions about what will I be working on.
I talked with a few that wanted to know if I would be doing hemming, Yes I will be.  Can we cuff pants? Yes, I will do pants.  Torn seams and hems and buttons are things that many people need help with.  Waist bands on skirts and elastic in pants. Cuffs and pockets and knees patches.  Even patches on your elbows of
jackets.  I have mended sweaters and fixed dog beds.  I have even fixed a dogs fave toy with a new squeakier. 

In the Store we have Knitted, Sewn and Counted Cross Stitched clothes and other items.  We make new clothes and we also fix clothes at the Mending basket.  So come see us or call us.  The stores address is
Nanny Goat Crafts, 15 E. 2nd Street.  Our phone is:  240 367-5532.   Mark your apt calender to come and see us today.  My prices are reasonable.

Ah beautiful rain!

Hot and humid has been the buzz words for Frederick.  Dry and hot had a good running for 2nd place. That is till tonight.  While sitting here working on my site I heard this sizzling noise.  Then a knocking at my Bay window!!!  I pulled back the curtains and what a wonderful site I saw.   RAIN !  At first it hit hard with the
big drops which made people run for cover.  Then it slowed down to a nice steady rain.  Then it stopped.
We got wet for just a little, but I am sure we all felt the coolness that it gave us.

Here at 3am I stuck my head out thru the curtains to see what woke me and it was raining lightly.  The sizzling again had woke the dog who woke me.  She is now fast to sleep and I am here.  I am hoping to hear the rain come more tonight.  They are calling for it to be a 2 day forecast of rain.  Gee will they be right????  We will see.
