A Quick Post!

What a beautiful morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. I managed to survive going to Carowinds with the kids. Everyone had a great time although my feet would probably disagree. They were tired and hurting by the time we left. Of course, I had planned to get my mermaid finished last week but as always I did not. Well, there is always this week.

FYI........The Spring Custom Framing Special is starting this Saturday April 11th and will end on April 28th. During this time, you receive 20% off a total custom frame order(s). A 50% deposit is required and no rush orders will be discounted.

Spring Break!

Spring break is here (at least for my kids it is). Even though I'm not on spring break, I will enjoy not having to drag my son out of bed to get ready for school. That in itself is a break for me. I am taking off on Wednesday so that my sister and I can take our kids to Carowinds. Probably will wish I went to work instead.

I made progress on the mermaid I'm stitching but I haven't finished it yet. I had hoped to finish it this weekend but I did not. Oh well, my new goal is to finish by the end of the week. I really do not have a whole lot left to do so I should be able to make this goal.

New designs are on the way. Take a look at what will be arriving in the shop soon.

COMING SOON!

From Stoney Creek

A new series of inspirational sayings. These would make great gifts (not too big & not too small). They have also added a new "Flower of the Month" - April.

Flowers of the Month - April

From SamSarah Design Studio

"Still Crazy" is a 6 part series. This is part 3. I have posted a picture of what the entire design will look like when all 6 parts are together. We have parts 1 & 2 done at the shop and it looks great so far. Very fun and colorful.

Two new primitive designs.

Two very different types of birth announcements. I like them both.

Now We Have Everything For This Child

From Lizzie Kate

My favorite new "Lizzie Kate" is "How to be a Mean Mother". Based on this, I am a mean mother but I should probably be meaner. (HA)

3 Little Words:

Today Choose Joy Never Give Up

Collect Memories A Little Wedding

includes 32ct Lambswool linen

and the antique gold key charm

How to be a Mean Mother

From Summer House Stitche Workes

"Happy House" is the 8th and final design in the "Village Home" series. As inviting as the house is, I really love "Sophia"! What a cute owl and just look at those wonderful colors. Must have this one.

Happy House Sophia

POSTCARDS FROM THE HEART

This is a new series featuring sweet, little stitched motifs that combine with your found objects to create unique projects that are as individual as you are. Not fond of the "Postcard" finish, no matter, use those same motifs to create a myriad of smalls, from bowl fillers to pin keeps. The designs are stitched in just one color, so use whatever fabric and floss you have in your overflowing stash bins. The series will be released in four installments over the next few months.

Paris (#1)

Voyage (#2)

Lark (#3)

Happy Monday!

March is just "marching" right on by. Where does the time go? Wherever it goes, I want to find it and give myself a little extra of it. Just think of how much more stitching I could get done if only I had the time to do it. I did find some time this weekend and the mermaid that I'm stitching is almost done. Hopefully, I will finish it this weekend. She looks lovely so far and I can't wait to get her done.

Here are a few new things that will be arriving in the shop soon.

From Country Cottage Needleworks

Well, if I can't actually spend an afternoon in Paris, then I guess spending an afternoon stitching Paris is the next best thing.

The "Florist" will make a nice addition to the Hometown Holiday series.

From CM Designs

"Squared" is a cross stitch design of quilt squares. Since I don't quilt, this is an excellent pattern for me! "Rainbow" is really cute. Apparently, this is what happens when a cat runs into a rainbow.
