Goodbye July!

It's hard to believe that July is over. My kids will be starting school in just 17 days. Where did the summer go? I'm not quite ready for school to start again and I'm positive my kids aren't. Once school gets started, it seems like the holidays arrive way to quickly. Time to start working on those holiday gift ideas. Need some suggestions? Take a look at some new designs that are on the way...

From Heart In Hand

Three quick to stitch fall/Halloween designs.

Have a great week!

On the way....

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was great even though it went by way too fast. I had a nice visit with my mom. We didn't do much because it was just too darned hot. We watched a couple of movies, cooked together and talked. It was a wonderful indoor weekend.

There are quite a few new designs that will be arriving soon. Take a look....

From Country Cottage Needleworks

My favorite main street building so far...the coffee shop.

Main Street Coffee Shop                 Time for Tea              

         

From Little House Needleworks

If you are stitching the Early Americans series all together, "Freedom" is the center block. Although, it makes a nice piece all by itself. 

                Freedom                        Fresh Brewed Coffee

#5 in the Early Americans Series

A perfect design for Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday).

Celebrate with Charm: Thanks

From Stoney Creek

These are some really "cool" ornaments.

Christmas Ornaments IV                     Christmas Ornaments V

A creepy version of Mary Mary Quite Contrary.

Happy Stitching!

Where has the summer gone?

July is just marching by. I can't believe it is already July 17th. My kids will be going back to school soon...wow. Before you know it, Christmas will be here (and with that thought in mind, it is never too early to start your holiday stitching).

Take a look at some new designs that will be arriving soon. Maybe the perfect gift idea is on the way. 

From Plum Street Samplers

Another batch of great designs from Plum Street. My two favorites are "Judge Not" (love all the different sheep) and "A Thousand Hills".

Berry Cottage

A Thousand Hills

Judge Not

Sampler House III                Sampler House IV 

From Scattered Seed Samplers

"Sewing" doesn't mend my soul but cross stitch sure does. 

  Mend Thy Soul                            Heart of Wisdom

From La D Da

Beautiful sampler. Reminds me of folk art.

Auspicious Hope

From Bobbie G. Designs

A bright and colorful snowman design. Looks like it would be fun to stitch.

From My Big Toe

I usually like the designs from My Big Toe and these are no exception but the one I really want to stitch is "More Than Coffee". My family would totally understand this.

       Amazing Grace                   Christmas Pinkies VI

More Than Coffee

From Heartstring Samplery

Another addition to the alphabet series. The best so far, in my opinion.

B is for Beekeeper

From Nora Corbett (Mirabilia)

More mermaids! These are very nice (and not too big) but I'm not adding these to my collection. I'm working on my 3rd mermaid now and at this rate my whole house will be nothing but mermaids. (ha ha)

La Petite Mermaid Collection

Luce Mia                                     Cara Mia
