New Designs

Hello Everyone!!

First of all, I want to thank all of you for all

of your kind words about our accident.  It

meant so much to me that you took the time

to send your thoughts our way.  What a

wonderful group of ladies you are.

  I'm still sick about not being able to

be at Notforgotten Farm.  Just cannot seem to let it go.  

But since I cannot lift anything until further notice, 
it is just impossible.  Let me get the other bad news 

over with first and then I'll move on to happy stuff. 
Our car is totaled.  No surprise, but

still really upsetting.  I went to the Orthopedic 

doctor on Tuesday.  No firm diagnosis.  She

gave me medicine to take for two weeks, and if

it doesn't improve, then I will have MRI's.  So

far it is about the same.  I keep thinking I'm

going to wake up and all the pain will be gone.

Old muscles obviously don't respond very well.

OK, enough of that.

Here are my new designs that will be shown

at the St. Charles Market.  I wish I could

be there, but it was just not possible this year.

I have all kinds of new things to share with you.

You may remember that I mentioned that an

announcement was coming.  That announcement

is that I am going to have a new collection

called

"A Halloween Year."

This is how it will work.  Starting with

October, two designs will be released

every other month, for a total of six

shipments.  If you are interested in an

automatic shipment, just let your shoppe 

or me know.

All designs will retail for $7.00.

The first shipment will include

CS-45 - "Stitching Witch"

 I have TEN

 hand-painted - 4" X 4 1/2" 

Brown Grain Wood frames and the

Olde Brass "Star Pumpkin" button

available for the special price of $28.40

plus shipping.

Normal retail is $35.50.

This design was stitched on 30 Ct. "Straw"

hand-dyed linen by Weeks Dye Works.

The second design in this first shipment is

CS- 46 - "Brooms For Sale."

This design was stitched on 30 Ct. "Havana",

hand-dyed linen by Weeks Dye Works, and 

embellished with my Olde Brass "Squirrel"

button.  The hanger is made from Rusty

Wire with an Olde Brass "Star" threaded

through the wire.  So simple and so 

primitive.

I have the embellishment pack available
that includes my Olde Brass "Star" and
"Squirrel" buttons and a piece of Rusty
Wire to make the ornament for $6.50
plus shipping.

My 2010 Annual Sampler Ornament

is next,

10SP - "Reindeer 'A Waiting".

Now we know what the reindeer are doing

while Santa is working!

This design was stitched on 30 Ct. "Mink"

by R and R Reproductions.  The "Snowflake"

brass charm is included.

This design retails for $8.00.

This completes my ANNUAL ORNAMENTS

for 2010.  I hope you like them.

And, last but not least,

No. 231 "Holiest Of Nights".

This design was such a joy to work on.  I hope

that this will be a classic that you will always

love displaying at this most special time of year.

It has traditional elements such as the sampler border

and sampler style lettering, but a little primitive in

the overall design.  I love my Olde Brass "Angels"

in the upper corners of the arch.  A cotton

trim that I had in my collection was coffee dyed.

 I am trying to find some more of this trim or something 

very similar to offer you.  Will let you know if

I have any luck.  If the blue that I used in the arch

and the border do not go in your decor, just change

both, but remember to use something in the same

tone. Don't go too light or too dark.

It is stitched on 30 Ct. "Putty" hand-dyed linen by

Weeks Dye Works.

Retail $9.00.

Hope you have enjoyed my little personal show.

If you have any questions, just email me.

Also, we now accept Paypal in addition to VISA,
Mastercard, and personal checks.  I haven't 

used Paypal yet, but it is suppose to be easy.

"Many Happy Stitches",
