As of January 2011, Serendipitous Ewe will be taking a 6 – 9 month hiatus. One of the reasons for this is because I am expecting a baby boy at the end of February! I have not been able to help Angela much since October due to being put on bed rest a number of times. Also, my husband and I purchased a house that is planned to be built this Winter into Spring. So I will be busy taking care of my toddler and a newborn then moving into a new home before the end of May. The major upside to our new home is that the location puts me about 25 minutes from Angela’s house/dye studio as opposed to the current 45-55 minutes it takes to get to her home!
The other reason for the hiatus is that sadly, Angela was in a head-on collision mid-December. She sprained the entire right side of her body from the neck down. She is currently okay, but has a difficulty accomplishing simple physical tasks that require the use of the right side of her body and her recovery is going to take some time. With everything going on ( getting ready for a newborn baby, moving into a new home, Angela’s recovery and physical therapy ) we feel that it is necessary to take this hiatus so that we can focus on our personal lives until things settle back down. We want to be able to put 110% of ourselves into our business and currently that isn’t something we can easily do.
We will be slowly selling our inventory through etsy as there will no longer be an online shop. We will try keep our etsy shop stocked and open until right before I am due with my son. But there is always a chance I could go into labor before or after my due date. So please understand that we will keep you updated as to when the etsy shop will be back up and running. Also, with Angela’s injuries it is impossible for her to keep up with her daily life let alone attempt to dye any new stock right now. So what we will have listed on our etsy shop is all we have.
Currently, you can still find some of our yarn at various retailers.
