It is almost time to go to the Nashville Needlework Market. How the year flies swiftly by and it is time again for the meeting of old and new friends. Sharing and visiting, dispalying our new designs!I will post the new designs on the weekend once we are at the show. Or rather I should say I hope to.... my skills on all this 'uploading' and 'downloading' etc. are sometimes a bit over my head but I will do my best. I do get all excited to share the new designs and I hope that you will enjoy them. It is always a a treat to be part of the needlework world for the weekend, so often I am alone designing away in my office. Today I look out and the snow is melting like crazy from the chinook, which is great. After the needlework show I hope to take a week off and stay in the states in some warm weather... so I might not be so quick to answer emails etc. - just so you know! Look forward to showing you all the new things! Till the weekend.
new year...
I will admit it has been over my 2 week limit, I like to post every 2 weeks... but this whole getting ready for Nashville thing... what can I say, it takes over your life and even though January is a long month, it has flown by for me. Needless to say though, we lots new coming and do look for it to come. A deadline is good they say.... I have ben busy stitching for the events this spring... Nashville was done by Christmas, it was just the instructions and picture taking etc. that needed to be done, now we are on to the next. My events for spring are coming up fast and although I did have some done, there does seem to be lots to do. Look for a wonderful piece for Stitchville USA -hint- piney, woodsy, you all wanted another Home in the Woods.....
Needleworker's Marketplace by Gitta's also some fun new projects to focus on and look for specials for the show.
Then a wonderful piece for Where Victoria'a Angels Stitch in NJ - something old world.... it's been fun to research and do. Lastly a lovely sampler for the stitchers in Rochester, NY at Golden Thread Needlearts! These projects are filling my time but oh so fun and enjoyable. It seems like each piece consumes me and I can't let it go.... but of course then the next project must be done so we move on.... and I have to think of the Just Cross Stitch ornament issue already! The invite is in plus the preview issue..... so it's 2 more ornaments.... and wasn't Christmas just over?
So you can see, it is always something. But for now we have the next owl, Friend Owl, a lovely little charmer for your friend. I think I missed putting in last months owl - Love Owl- I was so engrossed in my Nashville frenzy! Enjoy!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
My one daughter is home, finished exams and her portfolio show, the other came home from university yesterday. Now Christmas can come. This going away to university has me missing her and it is just lovely to have our family together. Now on Friday and Saturday we will be joined by all the other Douglas' so it will be great. At this busy time I do want to thank you for all your patronage and I look forward sharing all the new and fun designs we have planned. Wishing you all a lovely holiday time, whether you are near and far and whether you are working or not. In my nursing years I spent many a Christmas at the hospital but we always made it fun. Hope that you can do that too where ever you are.
