Spring is on the way!!!!

Finally, the weather is becoming more enjoyable. The high for today is around 78 (of course, Thursday's high is around 49). Well, we haven't quite become consistent with spring temperatures but it looks like we are closer to spring and finally getting away from winter. I'm going to go outside this afternoon and enjoy this wonderful weather and then later this evening I'm going to sit down and stitch (the perfect end to a beautiful day).

Need a new spring project? Come by the shop and see all the wonderful new items we have. If you are unable to visit the store, then feel free to browse the "what's new" section of our website.

Take a look below to see some new designs that will be arriving in the shop soon.

COMING SOON!

I love her petite mermaid collection. Have I mentioned that I'm stitching one of her mermaids now. It is over halfway down (yeah) and I can't wait to finish it.

From Imaginating

Yes, I believe that life is better in flip flops but look how much stitching is in those flops...whew! Love them though. I would also like to stitch the "Gone Fishing" for my husband, who always wants to be fishing! Might change the colors a little to make it look slightly more masculine. He's really not a purple guy.

Finally....a new blog post!

I'm sorry that I missed blogging last week. Peggy & Carol came back from Nashville with a lot of new items that had to be checked in, put on the web and in the store. Needless to say, everyone had to help with this process. We now have everything done and can get back to normal (whatever that is).

Even though many new items were brought back from market, there are still new things on the way. Take a look.....
