Happy 4th ....a little early

We will be CLOSED on Monday July 4th (therefore, no blog next week). I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend. I will blog again on July 11 but do not despair, I have some new designs to share with you this week and should hopefully have even more in 2 weeks.

Just a reminder, the shop is currently running a framing special for graduation and wedding items. This would include invitations, diplomas and any other graduation or wedding memorabilia. The sale ends July 15, 2016.

Two new cottages. I wish that I was at either one of these cottages probably the pumpkin one since it is by the sea (and I love pumpkins).

Have a great week 

and enjoy the long weekend.

Hello!

What a beautiful Monday (I'm not going to mention the heat...we all know it is HOT). I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was very busy. My daughter's 16th birthday was Saturday and Father's Day was Sunday (oh, and today is my anniversary). A lot going on but I survived even though not a stitch was stitched. Hopefully, I'll get some stitching done this afternoon.

I found quite a few new designs that are on the way...take a look. 

ARRIVING SOON!

From SamSarah Design Studio

The steampunk Dragonfly looks very happy. He is kinda cute in a weird sort of way. I love the flowers in the garden design and the saying is very true. I only wish my son had read this. He did not avoid the poison ivy and now has it on his elbows and legs (not fun at all).

Have a great week!

With the summer comes.....heat!

Summer is just getting started but boy did it get hot fast (yeah, I know...it's the south). Since it was so hot over the weekend, I stayed inside (I love AC) most of the time and was actually able to get a good bit of stitching done (yea!!!). You will never guess what I'm working on now....a snowman. It's a perfect summer project.

I finally finished "Electra" one of the Bewitching Pixies from Nora Corbett and it's now framed and hanging in the shop. I think she turned out really well although, the photo below isn't that great.

Need a new summer project? Well, take a look below at some of the new designs that will be arriving in the shop soon.

COMING SOON

From Shepherd's Bush

Adorable new designs. I really like the buttons used on Sweet Honey Bee.

I love the sampler. I don't know if coffee saves lives but it does give me a great boost in the morning. As a matter of fact, I'm about to go pour my second cup.

"O" is for Old Glory

This is the first design in the "Alphabet" series.

The letters will not be released in alphabetical order

but they will all be round and fit the same size frame.
