One week until Christmas!


Christmas is almost here. Is everyone ready? I only have three more gifts to wrap and then I'm done. Yay!! Maybe now I can enjoy some stitching time. It feels like forever since I picked up a needle. Due to Christmas and New Year's falling on Mondays, this will be my last blog until January 8th so I want to wish everyone a very blessed holiday season. 


COMING SOON!

Counting down to Christmas!



Oh my, it is only 2 weeks until Christmas and I'm not as ready as I thought I was. I even have two items sitting in my shopping cart on Amazon (guess I should get those ordered). I plan to finish shopping this weekend and then the wrapping and baking will begin. It is going to be a very busy weekend with no stitching time in sight. Oh well, I'll get back to it eventually.

Here are some new designs that will be arriving soon...take a look.



COMING SOON!


From Bobbie G Designs
The flowers look stunning on the black fabric. The colors just"pop".  I just don't know if my eyes would let me stitch on black fabric. I tried it once and they didn't like it but for this piece, I'd try it again.

Iris on Black


From Amy Bruecken Designs
What fun and festive designs. I want to stitch these for next year! The moose is just too cute.

Happy December!



It's December! Wow, this year has flown by. I can't believe that it is almost 2018. Where does the time go? I hope everyone is having a great month thus far and not stressing about the holidays. I'm not. I have my house mostly decorated (should finish by the end of the week), have done some shopping online and made a list of the other things I need to get. I'm actually on top of things for a change. 

As always, new designs are on the way...take a look.




From Plum Street Samplers
A wonderful new collection of designs from Plum Street. I really like them all and can't decide on a favorite.

The Original Gingerbread Mouse from 2012 is back for a limited engagement and features a new gold tail. She goes back into retirement at the end of the year so get one while you can.

From Stacy Nash Primitives
Well, I have managed to stay away from collecting the "Animal Crackers" but I will definitely have to have "Whittaker". He is so cute and he shares my name. Even though mine is spelled with one "t".

Another design will be added to my collection. I must have "Nativity Row". It will be a great new addition to my Christmas decorations for next year. I even think it would make a wonderful long pillow.
