It's still August... barely

My goal was to update at the last online show, but life happened. It does that sometimes. The house settling in has been good. I have models on the walls, thanks to the visit of a friend who wanted to see everything hanging. It was a good encouragement to finally make it feel more like a home. Since then we have been hosting friends and family for food and fun, which has added a joy that I had been missing. Good times! I have a few accessory items for update, and then next week I will be adding new designs!

Gingher Lauren has arrived! And she is beautiful! Her bold blue geometric design was just needing an equally bold color choice and adorable bird charm. They are now available (as soon as I make more than the one of each that I did for the picture!) to adorn your favorite snips.

Coffee fobs were introduced as a very limited item and I had no idea how they would do. They sold quickly and I ran out of beads! The good news is that I found another wholesaler who had them in stock and I bought as many as I could. It isn't enough to last for decades, but it will get me through for a few more of the coffee addicts (like me!).

Best Friends mini fobs are the new must have for you and a stitching friend. I have them in all sorts of colors, even more that are pictured, and I am glad to make you something with colors that are personal and unique to you. These come packaged as a matching set and will be great for holiday gifts.

Life in our house tends to revolve around the child, cat, dog, and chickens. Not always in that order. The cat and dog run the show inside, the chickens are outside for obvious reasons, and this is what I walked in on the other day. The dog was pouting about not getting enough play time, and the cat was tired of my vacuuming so staging her protest by sleeping just five feet from her own bed - and on my coffee table!  It's a good thing I love them so much.

Come back to visit in a few days when new charts are available!
