Coming Soon!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I spent mine doing chores around the house and raking leaves....ughhhhh. Wish I could say that I will not have to rake anymore but there are still a billion more leaves yet to fall from the trees around my house. Oh joy! 

On a more positive note, I did get some stitching done. Yay! Take a look at some of the new designs that will be arriving in the shop soon. I think a few of these will be heading straight to my "stash" as soon as they arrive.

From Hands on Design

The felt leaves, which are included in the chart, give the sunflowers a very fun effect. 

                

Sunshine on a Stem               Stitching is My Heart's Desire

From Heart in Hand

A new quick to stitch series called Merry Making Minis. Each of these designs is printed on a small card and includes the beads. They look absolutely adorable. 

    

 Merry Making Mini - Tree        Merry Making Mini - Bear

            

    Merry Making Mini - Peace      Bird in the Hand - Christmas

From Heartstring Samplery

I love both of these designs but the sampler is my favorite. The verse reads..."Someday at Christmas man will not fail, Hate will be gone - Love will prevail. When we've found what life's really worth, There'll be peace on Earth". 

  Someday at Christmas                         Winter Snow          

From Bobbie G. Designs

A beautiful piece. The colors are amazing.

We Three Kings

From Abby Rose Designs

Two lovely Christmas designs. The mini stocking ornament would be quick to stitch (my favorite kind of project). 

 Tulip Basket Ornament                     Yuletide on Thistle Hill                  

           

      

From Country Cottage Needleworks

The seventh design in the Main Street series. 

Main Street Cafe

From Lucy Beam

I think "Plenty" would make a really cute pillow or ornament.

Bee A Haunting                                  Plenty   

From Kathy Barrick

This is a companion piece to Kathy's "Heaven and Nature sing". The black swan is simply elegant.

Repeat the Sounding Joy

From Mirabilia

A beautiful oriental piece.

    Miss Cherry Blossom    

From Sue Hillis

These ornaments would make a very spooktacular Halloween tree. The small brown sled ornaments have been painted with Halloween colors. What a cute idea! 

Monster Mash                                          Witch Hat? 

From The Vickery Collection

For some reason, this really appeals to me. It's different. 

Oak of the Year

Happy Columbus Day!

Happy Columbus Day! For those of you fortunate enough to have the day off...enjoy! If you are like me and have to work, then it's just another Monday (ughhhh). Although, today is an extra special Monday for me. It's my husbands birthday. Woo hoo! He is not overly excited about it so I'll be excited for him. Maybe his day will improve after he receives his presents tonight. Presents and cake should make any day a little brighter. Don't you think?

Here are some new designs heading this way....

From Amaryllis Artworks

I just love all the Quaker Ball designs but this Halloween design is just too cute. I may have to try this one.

Halloween Ball

From Plum Street Samplers

This is a fun woodsy sampler with a deer and his friends romping in the forest. It's hard to see in this picture but there is also a fox, owl, squirrel and some crows.

Friends of the Hart

From Stoney Creek

The two Halloween designs are both "spooktacular" but my favorite of these is the "Give Thanks" design. It is simply gorgeous!

Spooktacular Halloween                         Happy Boos to You  

Give Thanks

From Tiny Modernist

This is the first part in a 3 part Christmas Mystery Sampler and is the left hand side of the design (the border is available in another chart). From what I can tell so far, this looks to be a fun Christmas piece.

Christmas Stitch A Long - Part 1

From Deb Bee's Designs

These Halloween designs are fun and colorful. I really like how they are displayed in the pot of candy. Yum!

Halloween Stake Out

From La D Da

This is the best and most meaningful Christmas sampler that I have seen. This is so going into my stash. Not sure when I'll get it started though.

Tidings of Great Joy

From Needlework Press

A lovely reproduction sampler.

Jannet Speirs 1813

From New York Dreamer

A very nice rendition of this very popular verse. Ugh, another design to go into my stash. I really need to stop hoarding cross stitch designs.... but I won't. 

Lord is My Shepherd

Another wonderful batch of designs from Plum Street. "Merry Two" was previously released as a limited edition kit but now is available as a chart only. "Merry Three" is the newest design in the Bowl Full of Merries series. It is also a chart only.

Give Thanks Pincushion            Autumn Sewing Basket

24th of December Ornament

From Annie Beez Folk Art

Another "Give Thanks" design. I really like this one and this is something we all need to do every day. I know I'm thankful each day for the life I have. It might not be perfect but it's mine and I'm thankful I have it.

              

Make Hay While the Sun Shines                  Thankful Pumpkins           

From Imaginating

Just looking at the two snowman designs is making me cold. (Of course, it could be the air conditioning that is blowing on my back). Burrrrr.

What wonderful seasonal designs. They would both make nice pillows and should be quick to stitch.
