Where are you Christmas?

No snow. It's just not Christmas time without it. I don't ever remember it being December without a foot of snow on the ground. It's been raining. Rain does not go with Christmas. On top of all that...I tore a tendon in my foot and am suppose to be elevating it 24/7. You ever try to stitch while lying down? I don't recommend trying it. If you do, don't drop your needle. It defeats the whole purpose of elevating your foot because you'll spend 15 minutes up on your feet trying to find the needle. Maybe needles should have FOB's.

Where is the snow? Where is the pain relief? Where are you Christmas?

...and where is my needle?

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Winter in Key Town will not be released this year. It has taking me longer than I originally thought it would to design it. The good news is that my two heart patterns will be out tomorrow. Thank you for all the support this past year. It's tough being a small fish in a BIG pond.

Updated website

I updated my website today with a story and the release date for my new patterns.

My Autumn Heart

You all are spoiled. HAHA   Here it is... My Autumn Heart.

New Patterns coming soon!

It's really difficult being a new designer. I have a ton of ideas in my head for the holidays and just not enough time to do them. I think next year will be easier since I will have a year to design for Halloween/Autumn and Christmas/Winter.  I've noticed, over the years, that my Attention Deficit is much stronger in fall/winter. I wonder if it has anything to do with being indoors more or because of the Holidays. I just find it extremely hard to concentrate on one thing for very long.  I do have a picture to show you all. It is one of two patterns I have finished and ready to print. This is called "My Christmas Heart".

Key Town Continues...

I am excited to announce the release of Winter in Key Town sometime early December. It seems that my Key Town muse, lets call her "The Keeper of Keys" has returned. I have put everything else on hold to work on it. So, look for updates here, on my website and on facebook.

Happy Halloween!
