On the way...



I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I am but is it too early to be wishing for fall? Ok, if it can't be fall yet, how about another vacation? I could go for another one. Well, since I do not foresee that happening, I will share some wonderful new designs that will be arriving soon. Everyone needs a new project. Don't they?

Happy Monday!



Happy Monday! I'm back from vacation. My family and I had a nice week off. We spent some time in the NC mountains and also in Charleston, SC. The mountains and the beach all in one week...it was great. I was not ready to come back but I couldn't afford to stay away any longer. 

There is quite a bit to share so let's get started. 



From Mill Hill
A series of patriotic kits. Each kit includes: beads, 14ct. Antique White Aida, floss, needles, chart and instructions.

    Life, Liberty                                 Stars & Stripes 



From Mirabilia
A stunning woodland Goddess. Looks like I will be adding another design to my Nora stash.

From Jeannette Douglas Designs
Three gorgeous designs from Jeannette. Carol is working on the Sew Together Series. She better get hopping since two more designs are ready. 

Blooming Bouquets #1 - Thankful

Sew Together #3                          Sew Together #4



From Heartstring Samplery
The border is stunning. You can pick the "motto" that goes inside. The one shown says "All I'm saying is that you've never seen me crying and eating tacos at the same time".  The other included saying is a quote from Maya Angelou "The desire to reach the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise".

The Choose-Your-Own Motto Sampler



From Hands on Design
"Give With My Heart" includes the woolfelt for the heart and leaves, as well as, the pre-cut flowers, hand dyed buttons and a charm. A cross stitch version of the heart and flowers border is also included.

More fun Halloween designs. Wouldn't they look good on either a green or purple fabric?

From Stoney Creek
The design says "Like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions, yet our roots remain the same." 

Family Roots



From Annie Beez Folk Art

Happy June!



Well, it's June and for me that means two things: 1) school is almost over and 2) it's summer. Today is my sons last full day of 8th grade. I can't believe that he will be entering high school in the fall. Time sure is going by very fast. 

Just a quick note, there will not be a blog post next week. I will be on VACATION. (Yayyyyy!)

Due to the holiday last week (and no blog post), there is a lot to catch up on so let's get started. There are some really cute designs on the way!



From Mill Hill
Three new kit sets. The South American Santa's travel with their beloved animal companions. The Snow Globe Ornaments are reminders of Christmas' past and are adorned with a special charm. The Advent Trilogy contains three sets for a total of 26 ornaments. If you use them as an Advent Calendar, 24 can be displayed for the 24 days of Advent with the remaining two (baby Jesus and the nativity) added Christmas Day.
