Jingle*Jingle*Jingle is coming!

Good Evening All!

Sure seems like the holidays are just around the corner and decorations are going up everywhere!  I just wanted to post a little bit tonight to let you know that our next new holiday design will be released next week!  I am really happy with this fun and festive project and it will be a quick one too - you decide how you'd like to finish it!  It looks adorable as a little decorative pillow (measures about 6 X 8); you can do an ornament or just frame it. The choice is yours!  Here is a little peek at the finished project below.  You are the very first to see it! We aren't even showing the entire design on our website yet! It has been pretty busy around here trying to get new designs created, stitched, printed, and shipped along with our other orders so I am going to be short and sweet tonight.  I have one more new design planned for this holiday season so I better get myself busy.  Who sleeps during the holidays anyway?  Over-rated I say!
Have a wonderful rest of the week friends.  Please feel free to comment any time. Would love to hear how everyone is doing and what you are working on.  Until next time, take care of you and yours!   Deb

A Sneak Peek - New Design! Jingle*Jingle*Jingle!

Hi Everyone!  
It has been busy here today! Just finished designing the chart for another new holiday design that is going to be so much fun to do and it is a quick project! 
I released a little sneak peek on the website and thought I would do the same here for all of our blogging friends. Jingle*Jingle*Jingle* just sounds festive and I wanted to use a holiday pallet.  You will be able to create many things with this finished piece such as a small decorative pillow, an ornament, or just frame it and sit it on an easel or hang it if you'd like.  Because it is going to be a "Stitch-It-Quick" design, you may even want to do another for a gift!  There is a picture below of the materials being used.  The size of the design including the embellishment will be approximately 4 X 6 but you will want to add additional fabric for framing or sewing allowances.  Here is a list of the things you will need in case you want to get them ahead of time:

* Weeks Dye Works 30 count linen in a BRAND NEW color: Grasshopper. You will need at least an 8 X 10 piece to allow 2 inches around for finishing.

* Weeks Dye Works Cotton Floss in the following colors: #4105 Noel, #1276 Kris' Bon Bon, and #4125 Snowflake. 

* Mill Hill Button #86155 "Star Santa" which is about 1"X1".

 Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far. The weather in Missouri today beautiful...sunny and 57 degrees. Couldn't ask for a better fall day. Please keep the prayers going for those on the east coast who are trying to recoup after Hurricane Sandy. Thoughts and prayers are with them all. Oh, and don't forget to turn your clocks back tonight if it applies to you - 1 hour back so that means one more extra hour of stitching on Sunday!  Whoo Hooo!

Until next time - I wish you "Beary" Happy Stitching~   Deb
