12 Days of Christmas Ornament Needlepoint Class Series

In 2009, we will be offering a series of needlepoint classes utilizing the 12 Days of Christmas Ornaments from Shelly Tribbey.  Since the Shelly Tribbey trunk show is currently in the store until Nov. 25, if you pre-order your canvases during the trunk show, you can receive 20% off the canvases!  We hope to start the class series in January, so make sure when you order you canvases that you put your name on our interest list.  By the way, the canvases are very special, but even more unique are the stitch guides for each canvas which are EXCLUSIVE to 3 Kittens.  To see all of the canvases in the 12 Days of Christmas series, go to the Shelly Tribbey website.

 

 


We've Moved!

3 Kittens has moved to The Village @ Mendota Heights, located at the intersection of Dodd Rd and Hwy 110 in Mendota Heights (on the northeast corner - click here for a map).  The new store is only a few minutes away from our old location - just one exit south on 35E and less than a mile east from there. 

We're open for business - check our hours in our masthead above!  Bear with us as we continue to get acclimated to our new digs.

Here's some more info about the new location in case you haven't visited us yet:

  • Our neighbors include Sage Market and Wine Bar, E's Cheese, Caribou Coffee, Coldstone Creamery, Snyder's Pharmacy, Anytime Fitness, Verizon Wireless and more.
  • We have several quick, fun places to eat nearby:  Sage Market & Wine Bar (soup, salads, sandwiches, wine, etc.); Tommy Chicago's Pizza (pizza buffet or order off the menu; Caribou Coffee.  There are also some places directly across Hwy 110 as well.
  • Parking is available on-street and in a lot behind the store (follow the covered archway to the front of the building for entrance to the store), plus there is underground parking accessible through a ramp at the back of our building on the east end (use the elevator or stairs to access the ground level then enter through the front door) - plenty of parking and all within easy walking distance.

Here's What Our Class Attendees are Saying

"Great instructor [Janine] - she made the class; very expert in this craft."

"I got behind but still got help even though I was on a different section/stitch than the class."

"Rachael teaches in a calm, laid-back manner." 

What was your favorite part of this class?  "My talented classmates and very talented instructor - Thank you!"
