July Updates

Summer is here and school is out!  :) The Laines Magnifiques webstore will be closed from the 23rd of June until mid July. I am taking some time away from the internet to work through co-ops, and to spend some quality summer time with my family. I will be checking emails but I am going to try to limit it to once a week during this time, so please keep that in mind when emailing me as I will not be responding immediately.  Thanks very much and have a wonderful summer!!

In need of a yarn fix?

I’m having a huge sale right now at www.lainesmagnifiques.com  There is still lots of in stock yarn available which I have marked down 15% off!  Sale is going on until June 24th!  Be sure to check it out!

On my Hyena Cart I have quick preorders of Strawberry Wine and Alice!  This are available until Friday and then they will close for dyeing and shipping by the 23rd!

Webstore is Open! Stocking tomorrow!

Tomorrow morning I will be re-opening my webstore with a few new changes!! Canadians will now be able to pay with Canadian dollars!!   Choose your currency; USD and CND available!  I will be stocking many different colourways, on different yarn bases.

 

There will also be 3 preorder colourways:

 

Zelda

Eurobirds

Mock Turtle

                                        

 

 

Due to a technical issue that I haven’t figured out yet, preorders will be stocked on my Hyena Cart at 10 am

 

In stock yarn will be stocked around the same time on the main store.

 

And don’t forget about surprise yarn subscriptions!!  A yarny suprise in your mailbox every month!

 

Hope to see you on Thursday at 10am!

Yarn Club Spoiler for April~ Pics are UP!

Pics coming soon! All subscriptions have shipped! I have to say that I adore this new colourway and stashed a skein of it to keep for my own personal use!! Keep an eye out!  I will give you the name though!  I’ve called it “New Beginnings”, since dyeing this yarn became very helpful for me during this difficult time.  I put it on the lovely worsted weight Rayonannt Organic Merino.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it all as I have creating it!  

ETA: Pics are up HERE

Happy Birthday Artiste!!

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been with the congo Artiste for a year now!  It seems like just yesterday a group of us WAHM’s were getting together and putting together this new congo.  Here we are one year later with a few small changes but still an amazing group of WAHMs getting together and sharing all the wonderful hand-made items they create!  I am so very proud and honoured to be a part of this group!  Not only are them my co-workers (in a manner of speaking) they have also become my friends!  They are always available for to listen, to offer advice and to be a shoulder to cry on when needed!

So, before I get totally emotional (which tends to be happening a lot lately) I should now tell you about the fabulous stocking that has been in the works for weeks on end.  All these women have grouped together to create something truly unique and amazing!  We’re calling it “the best of the best” stocking, with free lotteries, special guest artisans and lots of OOAK (one of a kind) and new items!!   

Here are a few sneak peaks of some of the things that will be for sale on Sunday!  But please be sure to go see everything!  You DO NOT want to miss this stocking!!!

      

        

  

And MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE!

Special Guests include: Rising Sun Earthworks Pottery, Alphabet Zoope, Natural Home Presents, Madeline Jane, Julia*Dreams,  It’s Sew Sweet,  and Who?

Mark your calendars, SUNDAY APRIL 5th at 9:00 pm EST at ARTISTE!!!!!

A Hard Week…

This last week has been filled with sadness, sorrow and loss.  As a result I’ve had to take a much needed hiatus from the work at home mom world, and dyeing yarn not only for my emotional and mental recovery but also for my physical recovery.  On February 19th we had some exciting and thrilling news, we were expecting our third baby!  Both my husband and I were excited and thrilled at the prospect of another child.  Sadly, on March 24th I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks pregnant.  We are devastated at the loss of our baby and have been taking some time to grieve for our loss as well as spend time together as a family to heal.

I have been advised by my midwife to take it easy and rest for a week or two while my body recovers.  This is one of the reasons why yarn orders have been delayed.  I intend to resume dyeing and catch up on all outstanding orders, yarn subscriptions and co-op orders starting Tuesday March 31st.  

I appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding your order, please feel free to email me.  Please be aware though, that I may not respond to your email immediately but will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.

Thank you to all of you who have sent us your love, support, thoughts and prayers;  they have been a source of healing to us and we appreciate them greatly.
