Happy Fall!

Happy Fall! Time for the leaves to start falling and the rakes to start raking (or in my case, the blower to start blowing). Of course, it's still a little early so I haven't had to deal with many leaves yet but I know it's coming. 

FYI.....The Fall Custom Framing Special starts this Saturday, Oct. 3rd. and goes through October 20. You must make an appointment during the special. 

The holidays are quickly approaching (no, I'm not counting the days...yet). There is still time to get some gifts stitched. Need some inspiration, take a look at some new designs that are on the way. 

From Heartstring Samplery

Something a little different...a journal cover. Each volume has its own unique quote and contains different elements inside the dream bubble on the back cover.

Happy Monday!

 

Happy Monday! Another week begins. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. The weather here was wonderful. It is finally starting to cool off. Even though it is not actually fall yet, I'm glad that it is starting to feel like it. Guess what is just around the corner? Yup, you guessed it...the holidays. Even though they are getting closer, I'm just not ready to think about them yet. 

Need a new project? Take a look at some great new designs that will be arriving soon.

Happy September

 

I know that it has been a while since the last blog and I do apologize for that. Last Monday was Labor Day and the shop was closed so I enjoyed the day off. I had hoped to do a post on Tuesday but I ran out of time (imagine that). Needless to say, I have quite a bit to share with you so go ahead and take a peek at some new designs that will be arriving soon.
