From Country Cottage Needleworks
Two great new designs. The colors are so vibrant in "To be Thankful" that the whole piece just pops and of course, the sentiment is perfect.

Snow Days

To Be Thankful


From Blackbird Designs
This is the 12th and final part of the Garden Club series and what a beautiful series it was. I wonder what will be next?

All in a Row


From Imaginating
A great collection of designs. Does stitching"Let's Run" count as actually running? This would be a great gift for my daughter since she IS a runner. Me, I prefer "Let's Take a Bubble Bath".

                       Let's Run                             Merry Christmas Snowman  

      
Let's Have Fun at Grandma's          Let's Take a Bubble Bath



From Designs by Lisa
That's me....I'm "Just One Nut Shy of Crazy". The witches riding in the hot air balloon just crack me up. Are their brooms broken?

It's almost fall!


Image result for clip art autumn


Despite the heat and humidity, Fall officially starts on Thursday. For me, it needs to be in the 70's to feel like fall. I sure wish these temps would ease up. I spent a lot of time outside on Sunday and thought I was truly going to melt. I wonder if this winter will be as cold as the summer was hot. I say....bring it on!

Need some new stitching ideas? Well, take a look at what will be arriving soon.


COMING SOON!

From Plum Street Samplers
Two very Autumn-like designs. I love the colors in both of them.

What a great Halloween Sampler. I would love to have this one done for next year.

Haunted Hollow



From AAN (Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks)
I'm not into skulls but the "Lace Skull" is very creepy looking. It would make a cool Halloween decoration. The sleigh, however, is gorgeous.

It's that time again!



My favorite time of the year is back....FOOTBALL SEASON! Yes, I love football (college & professional). I watched quite a few games this past weekend. One thing I really enjoy most about watching the games (and I do watch them) is the amount of stitching that I can get accomplished. I was able to get a good bit done over the weekend so it won't be long until I'll need a new project (yea!!!!).

Speaking of new projects, there are many new designs on the way. In fact, there are too many for me to post on the blog, so please check the "what's new" section on our website often to see all the wonderful things that will be arriving soon.

Here are some things that are coming but haven't made it on the website....YET.


COMING SOON!
