Stitch Groups!!

Posted by on July 18, 2010 Leave a Comment

This week has been a week full of stitching…I know – I witnessed it!  Monday started the week with the daytime Build a Stitch Notebook Class and we had added two new stitchers!  That is one of the nice things about the BSN (Build a Stitch Notebook) – you can come when you can – we do three new stitches each month.  We offer these classes twice a month – one day and one evening! Wednesday brought our regular Wednesday stitch in and WOW we were packed!!  Then Thursday,  the local Guild had scheduled a “Guild Stitch In” and the stitching tables were full again!  Here are a couple photos for more check out the tab to the right “Bug Photos”

Change

Posted by on July 12, 2010 Leave a Comment

Change is good but labor intensive!!!  The Bug is undergoing some changes, while it will not affect you quite yet, it is affecting us at The Bug.  We are switching to a new register program and preparing our shop to go live on the internet!! YIKES!  The new register program requires us at The Bug to label each, yes I said EACH item with a tag…..just for a humorous thought…pearl cotton size 5 and 3, well there are over 10,000 skeins…over 10,000 tags and that is just PEARL.(are you laughing yet)  Well anyway change is good, not only will it make checking out faster, the program provides lots of perks for the customer like actual Bug gift/money cards that can be purchased and used like a credit card and the program also has a rewards system – meaning each time you purchase at The Bug you accumulate Bug Points that entitle you to a monetary discount!  There are other benefits* but I guess the true purpose of this post is to tell you  – It is customers like you that make doing business a real pleasure! – so thank you for all your patience during this transition!

Change is good!!

*Benefits of new program apply to in-store, phone/mail and internet customers!
