Happy New Year!

It's been over 2 weeks since the last blog. Surprise....I'm back. I enjoyed the holidays but I'm glad to get back on my normal schedule (whatever normal is). Now that a new year has started, it must be time to start a new project. There are many new designs on the way and even some that have already arrived. Take a look at the "what's new" section on our website to see what has arrived.

COMING SOON!

What a cute kitty. I love his snowflake eye. I'm just taking a guess here, but I believe this is the start of a monthly "Whiskerkin" series.

They will all be stitched on 30ct Gunmetal linen from WDW (or 14ct or 16ct Shadow Aida from Picture This Plus).

10 Days til Christmas..but who's counting?

Only 10 more days until Christmas and I'm still not ready. I have shopping that needs to be finished and the only time I will have to get it done will be Saturday (yes, this Saturday...the last Saturday before Christmas...uuuugh!!!!). Luckily, I don't have much to get but I will still have to deal with the crowds (oh, and my husband...he will be going with me.....even more fun for me).

I'm not sure if I will get a chance to blog again before Christmas, so if I don't, I want to wish everyone a very joyous holiday.

I'm going to post some new designs that are on the way (maybe a great new year project can be found). Also, make sure to check out our "Holiday Hours"...I will post them at the end of the blog and they will also be on the front page of our website.

ON THE WAY...........

"Old Colonial" is the 1st design in the "Sampler Tree Ornament" series and I believe this series is off to a great start. Of course, the sheep look good as well.

17 Days til Christmas!

Christmas is rapidly approaching and I wish it would slow down a little...I'm not ready yet. Well, I was able to get my house decorated this past weekend including the tree. That was a major accomplishment. What I still have to do is....SHOP. I did some shopping online but there are a few items that I need to go shopping for. Not sure when this shopping will happen but I have 16 days to get it done (no pressure).

New designs are on the way. Take a look, you might find a project to give as a gift or even something for yourself.

COMING SOON !

From CM Designs

Ok, I have to say it...these designs are as cute as a bug.
