Sullivan's Thread Packs - check it out!

I am doing some work with Sullivan's Threads in the next year and just received these seasonal thread collections - aren't they so cool! I love that you can have the thread color palettes by season already chosen and you don't have to try and figure out what goes together!

New Hanukkah treat bag design featured in "Just Cross Stitch"!

In the brand new December 2016 issue of Just Cross Stitch I have a Hanukkah treat bag featured - it turned out so cute that I couldn't wait to share it with you!

Hiking into Autumn and plenty of stitching

I know I've been slow in posting to my blog recently and have to say that it was a combination of getting designs ready that are appearing in upcoming print publications as well as stitching my new Christmas designs - whoohoooo - there are some good ones coming out, I promise it will be worth the wait!

In other news I went hiking today with the kiddos at Buffalo River State Park in Minnesota and enjoyed the changing colors of Autumn. Here's the worst story ever - my sister came along with us and is a huge photography fiend and brought her fancy camera along with various specialty lenses - walked the trails with us capturing the scenes around us then realized at the end that her camera didn't have an SD memory card in her camera and poof - no pictures at all - everything she so carefully framed out and snapped didn't exist...EEEEK! 🙀😱😩😤😰

I will post a bunch of the photos that I took today though!
