One week until Christmas!

Christmas is almost here. Is everyone ready? I only have three more gifts to wrap and then I'm done. Yay!! Maybe now I can enjoy some stitching time. It feels like forever since I picked up a needle. Due to Christmas and New Year's falling on Mondays, this will be my last blog until January 8th so I want to wish everyone a very blessed holiday season. 

COMING SOON!

Counting down to Christmas!

Oh my, it is only 2 weeks until Christmas and I'm not as ready as I thought I was. I even have two items sitting in my shopping cart on Amazon (guess I should get those ordered). I plan to finish shopping this weekend and then the wrapping and baking will begin. It is going to be a very busy weekend with no stitching time in sight. Oh well, I'll get back to it eventually.

Here are some new designs that will be arriving soon...take a look.

COMING SOON!

From Bobbie G Designs

The flowers look stunning on the black fabric. The colors just"pop".  I just don't know if my eyes would let me stitch on black fabric. I tried it once and they didn't like it but for this piece, I'd try it again.

What fun and festive designs. I want to stitch these for next year! The moose is just too cute.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Happy December!

It's December! Wow, this year has flown by. I can't believe that it is almost 2018. Where does the time go? I hope everyone is having a great month thus far and not stressing about the holidays. I'm not. I have my house mostly decorated (should finish by the end of the week), have done some shopping online and made a list of the other things I need to get. I'm actually on top of things for a change. 

As always, new designs are on the way...take a look.

From Plum Street Samplers

A wonderful new collection of designs from Plum Street. I really like them all and can't decide on a favorite.

Well, I have managed to stay away from collecting the "Animal Crackers" but I will definitely have to have "Whittaker". He is so cute and he shares my name. Even though mine is spelled with one "t".
