New designs are brewing!
I have already started working on Halloween designs and started stitching the first one this week - as it progresses towards the being finished stage I will continue to post pics!
The only other thing to worry about is spring flooding here in Fargo - we have had a freakish amount of snow this winter, and all that snow still has to melt..,which means they are expecting another 100 Year Flood next month. Fargo has spent about $100 million dollars on flood improvements since the last big flood in 2009 but we will still need over 1.1 million sandbags to help protect the city. Not to mention the small fact that we live directly across the street from the river - I predict a lot of sleepless nights ahead of us.

More snow and more to come...plus stitching update!
Hello! I have to start by apologizing that I haven't been posting anything stitching related recently but I sure do have a good reason...JustCross Stitch Magazine picked up 7 designs to publish in 2013 issues (including the annual Christmas Ornament PREVIEW Issue as well as the ever great Christmas Ornament Issue!) so I have been madly designing, stitching and finishing all of these designs. Trust me when I say it has consumed every spare minute I had over the last month plus the fact we took the kids to Palm Springs for 8 days last month for Spring Break. I can breathe a sigh of relief finally and start designing some summer themed designs for release and I have a really cute one that is half done right now that should be out next month sometime. I did release "Sail Away Sampler", "Winter Alphabet" and "Sand Dune Bay" at Nashville Market earlier this month!
Now the snow - holy smokes, every single weekend for the last 6 weeks we have had a major snow event - sigh - another one happened yesterday with more expected Sunday night into all day Monday AND if that weren't enough they are saying yet another storm should be rolling this way by about Thursday. We went from having a 5% chance of Spring Flooding to having more than a 80% chance now. The snow banks are so high that you can't see around corners when turning from one street onto another....we are even running out of places to put the snow we shovel. ...it really is insane and a little scary all at the same time.
Happy Stitching and the new charts are being sent out Monday morning to everyone who was a contest winner a couple of posts ago - thanks for your patience!!!
