More Items, More Photos!

Mom here, We're rapidly trying to replenish our crochet inventory after the virtual sell-out at our 5/1 Millis Roche Bros sale! On 5/7, from 9am-3pm at the Millis Roche Bros, we'll also have beaded charm bracelets for sale for Mother's Day! Please let us know if you'd like to help crochet or knit with our supplies! Thanks!

Charm bracelets like these will be available for $10 at our 5/7, 9am-3pm Roche Bros sale to benefit the Millis Ecumenical Food Pantry and the Millis Purr-Fect Cat Shelter!

We've had bags in every color of the rainbow, and then some! On 5/7 we'll definitely have lime green, American stripes, pink, pink/purple, Girl Scout green, turquoise, brown, and other color bags along with 18" doll bags in many colors! They make wonderful Mother's Day gifts!

Let us know if you want to reserve a specific toy or bag color as we have limited yarn remaining and try to use scraps of yarn on the toys so we can't always make more of any one toy!

Crochet or Shop With Us at Casa

Hi, this is Nekhebet, I am thanking the Millis Senior Center because yesterday we worked with them on making bags. It was fun and was our second time at the senior center! Thank you!

Now today and tomorrow, we're at our grandparent's store in downtown Beverly to teach crochet and sell our bags and toys! Come down to 272 Cabot St, Beverly from 10-6 to pick some up or drop in for an hour or two and help create items with us! Uatchet posed for a photo of our little display!

Hi, it's Uatchet! :) Today me and my sister went to the Senior Center! We made wonderful cat toys there were sardines, rainbow and many more fish, small ones, even long ones! The other cat toys we have been making include more fishes, bunnies and birds! One bunny looks like Totoro (from a japanese cartoon movie)! :D

The fish in the photo to the right uses Lion Brand's Undersea Mobile 80797AD Pattern, isn't he adorable? He's one of Nekhebet's favorites!

Huge thanks to the ladies at the senior center (and Stephanie R.), who helped us make cat toys and produce bags! Mary, Jo, Lisa, Rose, and Lillian... you were awesome! And thank you for letting us play bingo with you after!

Thanks for tuning in! See you on Sunday!
