Thread Sale

Just a quick heads up that I am loading a few more threads working towards the storewide thread sale. I will probably send out a newsletter sometime on Monday but wanted to give you notice so you can get your lists together.

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend- we have been dealing with off and on rain here but it is supposed to warm up towards the middle of the week. I have been working on a sewing piece for my parents 50th Anniversary....this is a surprise so I won't give details now but will post pictures as soon as it is done.....only have a couple of weeks to finish and frame- better get to work ;) I will have to say that plain cross stitch is not my favorite....this is a larger piece and I have to change colors every few minutes. My first and true love is hardanger and even some cross stitch with speciality stitches is great. My next project will be a petit point that I am excited about- I have not done a 1 over 1 in some time and just love the look of it.

Enjoy whatever project you are working on and I will talk to you soon!

I'm Back!

Well actually we have been back since late (very late...hate delayed planes) Monday night. I have been busy this week trying to get everything caught up. I have been adding a tone of things to the site and will get out a newsletter hopefully later today but thought you would want to see a few pictures. The first is my daughter McKayla- she loves animals and thought it was cool to hold the starfish. The of course is Trey- he really wanted to find the bottom of the beach- he wants to go back to he can find it. Last is a picture of both kids and my husband enjoying the fun times!
