Blizzard!

Well it looks like we are right smack dab in the middle of a blizzard right now...it started snowing overnight and hasn't stopped since. I went out this morning and shoveled out front but looking now you would never know. The Interstate has been closed down officially and the City of Fargo has just issued a no- travel advisory within the city - meaning unless it is an emergency everyone needs to stay home. We've already had a foot of snow and are expecting ANOTHER foot before it ends tomorrow!

The JUST CROSS STITCH invite has arrived!

Hooray, I officially received my invite from Just Cross Stitch magazine to participate in both the Halloween and Christmas Ornament Issue - I am delighted! Not to mention the small fact that I have already completed both ornaments already so I am ahead of the game.

I am preparing to release 3 new designs at Nashville Market at the beginning of March so stayed tuned to my blog because I am going to hold a giveaway starting next week and 2 winners will each receive all 3 new designs BEFORE any stores can buy them at Market - you lucky followers. I will post the rules between now and Monday so keep checking back!

In the meantime if you live in the East I hope you don't get slammed too hard with this super storm blowing in - what happened to Spring???

Early Summer Smiles!

Doesn't this fabric swatch just make you smile and want to hum Beach Boy songs? My sister picked it out at Joann's Fabrics this afternoon and liked it so much that she bought 6 yards and doesn't even know what she will use it for yet! My guess is that she will get an armchair recovered using it - and no doubt it will make her smile every time she walks past it as well!
