I already have the dye and know-how so it should be easy peasy. Only problem is I am missing some key components. That's where you come in. There are a lot of great rewards waiting for you. Please consider helping and thanks in advance!<br />

New website is up and running! I've decided to make my website the only
place to get threads and PDF's. It was a little confusing having to go
back and forth between there and Etsy. To celebrate this change, until
Friday, everything is 15% off! Use code: Spring15 for the discount.

Visit me @ www.shipsmanor.com to order individual skeins, some hard copy patterns are also there and my Etsy site is full of PDF's for all of you tablet stitchers! A link to Etsy and my Facebook page can be found on my website.<br />

Some new changes to report for Ship's Manor. New threads and an additional format to get my designs. I've always enjoyed stitching from my computer and tablet. The zoom feature is amazing. No need to make a copy to enlarge. You can now, with a stitch app, mark off your stitches as you go. This is not a replacement to my printed designs and you can still get them from your LNS. I currently have 20+ PDF's on Etsy. Let me know what you think!<br />

<br />
I've updated my website and all of my designs, minus the magazine/book designs, are on there. It's too bad I can't connect this to the website. It seems like when I am able to say less I say more.<br />
<br />
I see all of these beautiful blogs with amazing pictures all over the place. Like just today...Not Forgotten Farm had an amazing blog, with pictures, about how she was looking forward to fall. Her words painted pictures of cool nights and colorful leaves. How I wish I could entertain you like that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ycf_COBAdgw/Vc1WcLalmEI/AAAAAAAAAVA/08Dj3zSsokQ/s1600/IMG_1054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ycf_COBAdgw/Vc1WcLalmEI/AAAAAAAAAVA/08Dj3zSsokQ/s320/IMG_1054.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
Perhaps you could imagine behind that clown is a beautiful New England town filled with beautiful leaves and hot mugs of apple cider, baskets filled to the brim with linen and shiny needles just waiting for you to use them? Maybe?<br />
<br />
Now, here is another problem with blogging. I am leaving out all of you Summer, Spring and Winter lovers. Maybe you're not looking forward to Autumn. Maybe it is the season you like the least.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_O9qIuix3yU/Vc1ZnMxnxHI/AAAAAAAAAVc/D9NqPmIkw2Y/s1600/Tire%2BAfghan2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_O9qIuix3yU/Vc1ZnMxnxHI/AAAAAAAAAVc/D9NqPmIkw2Y/s320/Tire%2BAfghan2.jpg" width="192" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Behind this tire afghan, trust me it's there, is snow and warm sunny beaches and the first buds of Spring. Can you feel the cold warm hot air? Taste the Hot Peeps Watermelon Cocoa?<br />
<br />
I'm glad I decided to stop by. I still have no idea what to say but at least I feel a little better for not letting you go a whole year without hearing from me. Not sure you feel the same now. You should come say "Hello" on facebook or stop by to check out the new website. New designs have been released since I last talked to you. Like... Happy Halloween! and Gossamer Threads Two.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J5EZmG8q-mo/Vc1bFpgILUI/AAAAAAAAAVs/gxo9dlq-_Lk/s1600/Happy%2BHalloween%2521%2BSmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J5EZmG8q-mo/Vc1bFpgILUI/AAAAAAAAAVs/gxo9dlq-_Lk/s320/Happy%2BHalloween%2521%2BSmall.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sv51yAd3g64/Vc1bL9f0vNI/AAAAAAAAAV0/ERtzqzZXQwA/s1600/Gossamer%2BThreads%2BTwo%2Bsmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sv51yAd3g64/Vc1bL9f0vNI/AAAAAAAAAV0/ERtzqzZXQwA/s320/Gossamer%2BThreads%2BTwo%2Bsmall.jpg" width="286" /></a></div>
The first Gossamer Threads was in the magazine Cross Stitch & Needlework. I can't remember what issue and if I were a good blogger I would've had that information handy to let you know.<br />
<br />
I hope you all are well and enjoying the dog days of Summer or the cat days of Winter. I would say I will try to stop by more often but I have a bad memory and writing in a "Diary Blog" feels like a chore. :( Say "Hello" when you get the chance. I would appreciate a little company...especially since I am deathly afraid of clowns. <br />

Come by the Hills is a design previously released, as a series, in the magazine Create & Decorate. The magazine is no longer published so I decided to release the design as a PDF (Digital Download) on Etsy. The file will include a B&W and Color copy. Use code Nov20 to get 20% off your purchase (for a limited time).<br />
<br />

I had an idea of where I wanted to go but, for the most part, I just let go. It's like having multiple destinations on a map but no routes to take to get there. A whole bunch of designs have been released, some through magazines and one in a Christmas book. These designs have told a story...perhaps not subtle but definitely known to me. Some of them have been familiar places and others are completely new. I pretty much wound up in a new town with unique inhabitants. When you're a new designer you have no idea what designs will be welcomed by the people. So, you throw yourself out there and see what happens. <br />
<br />
Thank you for believing in me and guiding me along the way. We may not know where we are going but, with you by my side, we will definitely enjoy the journey.<br />
<br />
Now, lets celebrate! I created a new freebie for you. It is called 'My One Weakness'. You can get it on the Ship's Manor website.<a href="http://www.shipsmanor.com/"> www.shipsmanor.com</a><br />
<br />
I have also made a bundle for you. It is on etsy and includes a signed copy of the design, the fabric, a needle minder and some mill hill beads. Unfortunately the fabric is difficult to make. It was just one of those happy mistakes so this bundle is limited to 20 people. That's all she wrote. You can get the bundle here.<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/shipsmanor"> https://www.etsy.com/shop/shipsmanor</a><br />

So, my little blog will not grow. But, I'm very fond of the followers I already have. It's a lovely "garden" already.<br />
<br />
If you have no idea what I am talking about...it's ok. Because most of the time I just ramble on anyway. So, without further ado...here is Linda, The Pink Lady. She will be headed to the distributors next week. Which means....you could have her in your hands/stash very soon!<br />
<br />

Update: Since I had a request to pretend I was a part of "grow your blog". Honestly, I don't blog much. Never wrote in a diary. But, I did write stories all the time. I wrote many stories for my website www.shipsmanor.com <br />
<br />
I love crafting. I am interested in pretty much anything artistic. I've been stitching since I was a child. I also was taught to crochet when I was young. Anything that is hands on is fun to do! I recently started building a dollhouse. Yes, my business is cross stitch but I always have something non-businessy on the side. So far the dollhouse is fun. The kit I am building from is called Beacon Hill. But, the dollhouse will be called Ship's Manor when I am done. LOL<br />
<br />
I am extremely humbled to have been in 3 magazines so far. I was a featured designer in Cross-Stitch & Needlework and have been in Create & Decorate twice. I've also designed something for DMC and will be in something (I can't say yet) later this year. This business is all about secrets!<br />
<br />
I love photography and gardening. I built a small greenhouse a couple of years ago. I blogged about it! I also blogged about my fascination with bonsai. Unfortunately, the cold crept up on me too quickly this year and killed my bonsai. I am looking forward to getting another this spring and pruning it...also keeping it alive.<br />
<br />
That's about it for now! If you'd like to see another interesting blog check out Jill Rensels! She is amazing and I believe her link is here on the right!<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone! <br />

This year is a year of charms for Ship's Manor. I've always liked how beads and charms look on stitched pieces so the majority of Ship's Manor designs, this year, will include a special charm. This year is also about the ladies...the cameo ladies. The first lady will be released the end of January. She is called Linda, the Pink Lady. The new banner on my website includes a little clue as to what she looks like. <br />
