Good morning!

I would say "rain rain go away" but we need the rain if for no other reason than to wash away some pollen. However, this cold rainy weather is rather depressing. I want to go home, crawl back in bed, listen to the rain and go back to sleep but I have work to do so napping will have to wait. 

New designs are on the way...take a look!

From Little House Needleworks

The second design in the Early American series and a new Hometown Holiday design.

This design is just as lovely as the first one in the series. Love the colors.

The Light Upon the Dawn

2017 Loose Feathers Club #2

From Just Nan

Another "mouse house". Miss Strawberry Mouse (who lives in the house) is too cute. The Little Lady Mini Needle slide is small enough (1" x 2") to fit inside the house as well.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

On the way...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. My weekend was very nice except it just went by too fast. The weather was beautiful on Sunday and I was able to get out and enjoy it. Unfortunately, I did not get any stitching done. Oh well, maybe I can find some extra stitching time this week.

New designs are on the way...take a look!

The colors in this design are stunning and the queens look very elegant and regal.

            HAVE A GREAT WEEK

It's Spring Break!

This week is spring break (at least for my kids it is....I'm not getting a week off). Needless to say, my family is not going anywhere for spring break (which is why I'm sitting here at work...blogging). Actually, I would rather be at work than going to the beach on spring break. I'll save the beach for the fall. That is my favorite time to go to the beach.

Need a new project? Well, take a look at some new designs that will be arriving soon. Maybe the perfect project is on the way.  Also, be sure to check the what's new section on our website (I can't possibly blog everything).

From Carriage House Samplings

This is a very interesting design. The more I stare at it, the more I like it. I wonder what that says about me?

Tropical Hat Lady

From Shepherd's Bush

What a beautiful Easter sampler.

Easter Notes

From Xs and Ohs

What a wonderful piece for a beach house. I myself do not have a place at the beach but I would stitch this even if it did make me wish I was at the beach.

Anchors Away

From Plum Street Samplers

Two new designs and a reprint.

It's April!

I can't believe that it is already April. My kids will be on spring break next week (yikes). That means the end of the school year is near (double yikes).  Where does the time go?

I agree with the "stitching is best with lots of coffee" part.

Miss Kitty Cupcake

I really like the "Christmas Party" but boy would it take a while to stitch. I guess I can plan to have it ready for Christmas 2021.
