Hello Monday!

Happy Monday...yeah, it's Monday again. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was very busy, not only did I work on Saturday, but it was also my daughter's senior prom. She was so beautiful and her boyfriend cleaned up nice as well. I can't believe how fast this year is going. In about 1 month, my daughter will be graduating from high school. I'm not sure I'm ready for this.

Enough about me, let's get on to the fun stuff.....cross stitch. Take a look at some of the new designs that will be arriving soon.

From Hands on Design

The next three designs in the "White Christmas" series and the second design in the "Laundry Company" series. My favorite is the laundry series. Probably because I spend so much time dealing with laundry.

Wouldn't the the little monthly designs make cute ornaments or small pillows? I think so but I really like the two Quaker designs. I may not get them stitched but they are definitely going into my stash.

On the way....

Happy Monday and yes, it is Monday. Mine started out wonderfully. Thought I had my husband out the door when I heard him call my name. I went to see what he wanted and it turned out his car battery died so we had to use my car to give him a jump start. No big deal but it made me run late...ughhhh. I also have a dental appointment this morning to get a cavity filled. You can see how my Monday is going. I sure hope the rest of you have a better day and even better week.

Now, on to the good stuff. Here are some new designs that will be arriving soon. Take a look.

Have a great week!

April Showers.....

Today's April showers should be bringing forth May's flowers. Hopefully, it will also take away some the pollen that is floating around out there. So far so good for me, but I know many people who are having allergy issues. Of course, this will probably only get worse before it gets better. My suggestion, stay inside and stitch. Sounds like a good plan. 

Remember....The Spring Custom Framing Special is now underway. Get those projects finished and come take advantage of the savings (20% off with a 50% deposit). The sale ends on April 24th.

Take a look at some new designs on the way.....

I love the title of this design..."Fast Food". I'm still chuckling over it.

Coming soon!

I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. Mine was great except for the pinched nerve in my neck. Oh my gosh....it hurts and I am not able to stitch because of it (ughhhh). The pain I can deal with it's the not stitching part that is driving me crazy.
