Short and sweet!

There is not much going on right now but I did manage to find a few new things that will be arriving in the shop really soon. As we get closer to the fall, things will pick back up again. Now would be a good time to start on holiday stitching ( like Halloween or Christmas). I have recently started a small Halloween design which I hope to finish really soon. I'll share a picture of it when I'm done. I changed the colors and fabric that were called for. Imagine that?

Show & Tell

Carol has finished another project (yes, I know, she is speedy).

This one is called Taby's Needle Cushion from Priscilla's Pocket. It is a quick to stitch pincushion which can be done in any color that you like. Also instead of sticking your needles directly into the stitching area, it is finished with a fabric band to be used a needle parking spot.

FYI

If you purchased a 2012 Halloween magazine from Just Cross Stitch, be aware that they accidentally left a pattern out. "Not Forgotted" from Plum Street Samplers was the design.

Just Cross Stitch has put the design on their website. Click here to get it.

Thank you Charlene for bringing this to our attention.

Last week, I put part 4 of the Calico Sampler (from Summer House Stitche Workes) on the blog. Today, I want to show you a picture of all 4 of the parts stitched together. It looks amazing. Carol is stitching this but has fallen a little bit behind. However, she said that she plans to catch back up.

Calico Sampler: parts 1 - 4

Speaking of Carol, she has also started the Lizzie Kate Halloween Mystery Sampler and has finished part one. I am posting a picture of what it looks like so far. She has decided to make hers a bell pull. Check out the really neat wooden hardware that she chose. I can't wait to see what the rest will look like.

Vacation is over....or is it?

My family and I had a fun, although short, vacation last week. Now, my husband wants to take a long weekend and go to Ohio before he starts his new job on Monday. This is fine with me except that I have to work today and that will leave me with little time to get ready since he wants to leave when I get home. He really must think I'm Superwoman. Of course, I am but he doesn't need to know that. So before I head off on yet another great adventure, let me tell you about the new designs that are at the shop (some of which are on the way).
