You may have noticed this same photo off to the right,

Easy peasy!

This is "Summer" by the Cricket Collection

stitched 2 over 2 on 32ct linen.

I've changed out colors to make it brighter.

You know I added some red :)

This is my new start. 

It's Warm Winter Woolens by LHN

stitched 2 over 2 on 40 ct Mocha Linen.

I do love me some sheep :)

What are you working on?????

Stitchy Goodness :)

This is "She Seeks Wool" by Teresa Kogut.

Isn't she awesome?

Of course I had to add some red :)

Once I had her stitched I decided to turn her into

a project bag for myself.

I love the way she came out.

Yesterday was a rainy day here in Idaho

so I decided to drink some hot tea

and do some stitching.

So I started "Warm Winter Woolens" by LHN.

I'll show you my progress next time.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!!!

I'll be back in a day or so with the details of my new 

Birthday Club :)

Well.....HELLO!!!

It's been such a LONG time since I posted

and I have to say that I have missed you all.

We arrived in Idaho at the end of January 

and we've been crazy busy since we arrived.

My awesome hubby worked so hard to get

my sewing studio ready :)

We have witnessed Spring.

This is a big deal for me as I have lived in California

most of my life and it's just one big Summer there.

I've stitched......

We've taken a gorgeous motorcycle ride.

The scenery here is ah-mazing!

And I've stitched.....

We flew back to California for our nephew's graduation.

We drove back to California because my Nana heart couldn't

bear to be away from my Minions for another second.

And I've stitched.....

And we launched the Bag of the Month Club.

It's been so much fun and it has doubled in size since January.

So crazy but I'm so blessed by my wonderful customers!

Well now that I'm back I have so many fun ideas for my little blog!

Stay tuned and expect to see me more often!

I'd love to hear from you!!!

Long time no see....

Wow!

Has it really been since June?

I'm not even really sure if anyone reads this blog anymore.

I haven't had time to blog in quite a while.

My little etsy shop has turned into

a full time job.

I've been super busy sewing every single day.

It's a wonderful problem to have :)

This morning I actually took some time off

to sew something for myself.

I had recently finished this adorable 

cross stitch piece.

It's the Dutch Doll by CrossStitchObessesion.etsy.com

I stitched her 1 over 1 on 28ct Jobelan so that she would 

be small enough to use on a project bag.

I ordered this darling Dutch Tile fabric from Holland (HannahsCottonShop.etsy.com)

and I've been waiting for the chance to put it all together.

Now I have the perfect project bag to take with me 

when I'm away from home.

Let me know what you are working on.

I'd love to hear from you!

The lucky winner is.......

Some of you know

 that I have deep love for cute little lambs

and  probably thought the sheep would be a sure bet.

But not this time.

I just love love love these 3 :)

And the winner is.....

BRENDA!!!

Congratulations Brenda!

Please email me with your full name and address

and I'll get your new beachy bag out to you on Monday!

Thanks everyone for playing along 

and stay tuned for more fun giveaways soon!
