Inspired Ideas!

Amy Powers has outdone herself again!  Her new Christmas issue of Inspired Ideas is chock-full of fantastic projects -- just brimming with inspiration!  Go here to take a peek for yourself!

In other news, I hope you'll consider joining the holiday stitchalong!  If you're interested, just leave a comment here or on my stitching blog -- and please leave your blog address if you want me to add you to the blog roll!  Also, I'd love it if you would grab a button (the code is over there to the right) and help me spread the word!  The more the merrier!  :)

Holiday Stitchalong!

Even though I didn't get an overwhelming response to my poll, I couldn't get the idea of this stitchalong out of my mind, so I decided to go for it!  I'll be doing a 25 Days of Christmas stitching project of some kind (not sure yet if it will be a Christmas design or a 5 x 5 sampler grid), but I'd love for you to join in!

If you'd like to join in on the fun, please leave a comment here or on my stitching blog, and give me your blog address so that I can add it the blog roll I will have on the stitching blog.  If after a couple of days you don't see your blog listed, please just drop me another comment as  reminder.  Also, I'd love it if you would grab a button and add it to your blog to spread the word.  The code for the blog button is right over there to the right -------------->.  The more the merrier, really!  It's so fun to log on every morning and see what everyone has stitched.

Once we get rolling, I'll set up a Flickr group as well where people can post their stitching pics.

So, I hope you'll join me for some holiday stitching!

Say Hello to my Little Friends!

So, what does one do when trapped in a hotel room for 3 1/2 weeks?  Other than climb the walls???  One makes lots and lots of little festive trim tags, of course!

These cute little trim kits, that include these darling vintage picks that someone, long ago, must have spent lots of time creating, are now available in the shop.

In other news, my movers are here as we speak.  I think last night may have been our last night of sleeping on a mattress on the floor in my daughter's room.  Hooray!!  Hope you're having a great week! :)
