this was to have been the day
so, today was supposed to have been the big opening day, but alas and alack, we are unable to open. we tried, dear readers. we really did. i was convinced that sheer optimism would be enough to carry us through. not the case.
we are diligently working away at the things yet to be done in order for twisted to open, and open big and beautiful. soon, we will be throwing open our doors and selling yarn, embroidery kits, tea, and juice to the masses. not today, but in a day in the not-too-distant future, twisted will be a real, live shop.
in the meantime, let’s craft. some fabulous family (hi, jill! hi jackie!) came into town for the “opening,” and we are taking full advantage of the together-time and crafting like crazy.

emily’s folks are in town for the opening-that-isn’t, and they, too, are having a grand time.


Hi Shannon. When will you be here again? I love you.
Hi there Emily and Shannon!
I am Azlina from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and I got to know your website from Emily’s father in law, who is my Uncle Mike :), he is a good friend of my mother and late father. I really enjoyed myself checking out your website! Really an eye candy! Congratulations and all the best of luck on the opening of your yarn shop and hopefully it will be a great success now and for many many many years to come….
I am a great fan of any form of artwork so thank you very much for sharing your art world with me and for everyone else too…it’s very inspiring for me to see new art forms and creative designs.
