Mail Call!

My Little House Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks charts were delivered the other day!!! I am so excited about these designers! Little House Neighborhood and Though the woods are the first two I am starting. I have a basket on my dining room table with my current wip's. It was just a little overcrowded in there (imagine that) so I finished up a couple and now I can start more! I have started The Sweetheart Tree 12 Days of Christmas Series. I have the first 2 'days' so I only have 10 left to buy. Another fun shopping spree! I do not have any stitched ornaments I have made for my own tree so I am excited about having at least a couple from this series finished this year. I'm looking forward to alot of snow/stitching days!
Happy Fall my stitching friends!

Another Finish!

Bent Creek Zipper Kit: Snow is in the Air is finished! I am going to put it in a small frame.

Holiday Snapper Finished!

Bent Creek Holiday Snapper Series is finished! I am going to make it into a pillow.

I've been shopping!!

I went to my favorite LNS, which, sadly for me, is online and not in person. But I had a great time! In a couple of days I will be the proud owner of Little House Needleworks: Acorns, Through The Woods, Lavender Hill, Hollies And Berries and Little House Neighborhood!! I also ordered the Crescent Colors and Gentle Arts that go with Through The Woods. I am so in love with all the Little House Needleworks charts! I made a wish list that includes nearly all of them. I think I will pass a copy out to all my family members this year at Christmas. Too forward??? Well maybe I will try and control myself. If you have not discovered the awesome charts they have to offer then take a few minutes and visit their website. www.littlehouseneedleworks.com
Next, make out your wish list and then visit www.houseofstitches.com or your LNS! Happy Stitching friends!

Got A 'hall closet'?

Anyone else have a 'hall closet'? Actually, its a small bedroom that holds the Christmas/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Easter/4th of July decorations, several tubs of keepsake toys, all the prom dresses the dear daughters could not bear to part with and their china dolls, books that don't fit on the over stuffed bookshelves, broken lamp, the hugh Bread Box your youngest child will not let you get rid of because that is how she learned to spell B-R-E-A-D, suitcases, tent (still in the box) dear daughter won at a school function, couple of boxes of dust collectors I could not part, extra blankes/quilts, baby clothes, lighted 5' Fig Tree from daughters wedding, old broken stero, etc...You get the picture. Anyway, my question is....How do you clean it out???? I have tired several times, I end up moving things around but thats about it. My GOAL is to try and get some things out and give them to my daughter who is having a yard sale this week. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!

My Poor Neglected Blog...

I have neglected my blog for almost 2 months! Sorry blog!! Its always extremely difficult for me to get back into the 'work' mode after summer vacation. I am lucky though, most people don't even get a summer vacation. I have stitched alittle but not too much. Things are kind of getting into a routine now, so I hope to get started back with my stitching. I have some great fall projects I would love to start and a few UFO's I need to finish! I will try to stay focused on getting in some 'me' time which means computer and stitching!
