Well "Hello" 2017

It's been such an amazing, tiring, emotional, wonderful, stretching,

painful at times, exciting and overwhelming year.

I sometimes think that stitching is my therapy.

I'm sure it keeps me as sane as possible....ha!

Jose and I attended our first retail show.

We were blessed beyond what we could have imagined

when we attended the Needlework Galleria in St Charles MO in October.

We purchased a trailer and headed out.

It was so much fun to meet some

of our sweet customers face to face.

Our sweet children came to Idaho to spend

Thanksgiving with us.

I love my Minions!!!

We got them all matching gloves and beanies

and I needed to buy them fun egg cups....right?

I also made them all new flannel pillow cases.

We found a little doll bed at our neighbor's yard sale,

and Jose painted it white

and I made all new bedding.

The girls had a good time playing with it.

We we are certainly loving our new home in Idaho.

The snow is a rare treat for us.

There was so much more to share,

but we've been swamped with business,

which is an awesome problem to have

but I am hopeful to try and stay updated on my blog.

Here's to a wonderful 2017!!!

Getting ready....

In 5 short weeks we will leave for CA.

My mom is turning 80 and we will be having

a party to celebrate her with all our friends and family.

We will be leaving CA the next day

 to drive to St Charles MO. for the Needlework Galleria.

This will be our first Needlework show as a vendor.

I used to travel for work years ago

attending trade shows twice a year

but this is the first time it will be for SewMuch2Luv.

We are excited to see how it goes.

We've been busy getting things ready.

We now have more than 60 stitchable stockings,

170 side kicks, 40+ Lil' Big Bottom Bags

and I'm currently working on the larger bags.

In between I've been working on regular orders

as well as custom orders.

I always love doing custom work.

And I have to show you the garden my hubby planted for me :)

Our 12 foot sunflowers are almost at 6 foot now

and the pumpkin patch has flowers,

so we are on our way!
