Summer is coming...

Wow, next Monday is Memorial Day. Where did the Spring go? Summer is just around the corner but for me it will be starting this week since the last day of school for my kids is Wednesday. Let the sleeping in begin (for them anyway...I'll still be getting up at 6:00).

Just a reminder... the shop will be CLOSED on Monday May 30th for Memorial Day and I will not be posting another blog until June 6 (sorry). I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend. I will be traveling (ughhhh). 

Here are some new designs and accessories that will be arriving in the shop soon. 

COMING SOON!

A quick post.

It's Monday.... again. I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day weekend. Mine was great. I was able to get quite a bit of stitching done yesterday. I should finish the project I'm working on sometime this week (yeah!!!). 

I did not find much to share with you this week so this will be a short post but be sure to take a look at what is coming. Also, don't forget to check out the "what's new" section on the website.
