I can not believe it has been a whole week again!

Well an entire week has once again passed by and I am just now getting around to writing. I really am going to have to make time during the day at the shop so that I can keep myself up to date.

First off we got several things in the shop this week.

Books came in from Hoffman Distributors which is always a nice thing. We got the automatic shipment from Bent Creek; they have a new Snapper Ville set of charts. It’s the spring version of the winter charts. This is really cute as it has a path that will lead from one chart to the next one. We also got in a bunch of new Dinky Dyes in and they are just as wonderful as the previous colors have been.

I will be expecting more books the first of next week in from Norden Crafts.

We have decided to do a stitch along in the shop of the alphabet from Carriage House Samplings. The 1^st 2 charts will be free as will the border to surround the alphabet.

I have got to get my husband to help me with the camera thing so that I can get some photos posted here of works in progress. I have been busy working on Mystery 9 and have finally completed part 1. I feel like I coughed up an elephant with that one. I should get completely caught up before part 5 comes out. I have caught up with Christmas Mystery 3 as well. The next part of that chart comes out on Tuesday next week. On the 1^st of May I will begin the new online class Persian Iris Garden (PIG) so I will have some more time sensitive stitching to be doing. The next part of MTM (part will also come out on the 1st as well part 5 of Mystery 9. I hope to get caught up with the mysteries so that I can get going on MTM and possibly get it completed on time. I also want to get started on some of the new designers that are now coming into the shop and get models done of them. It’s hard to get my stitching done and the stuff for the shop as well. I really should take some time out and just do shop stuff for a break from the really long stuff. Then there is that chart I’m doing as well. I have decided to change parts of it, so I will have to get back on here soon and begin the re-vamping of that chart.

Now there is also the matter of brushing the dogs. I have begun to brush Aspen and I am trying to get her ready for a possible show in mid May. I’m trying to see where the competition will be to see if it would be worth it for me. I also need to wash and blow dry the baby girl so that I can see how her fur is coming along and if she might also be entered in upcoming shows as well. Rocky’s fur is really doing well; I hope he stays on course like that; he will have the best coat in the house! I believe that if he stays in good shape he will be the next special we have here.

I need to get photos posted of the kids as well on here.

Well I hope to get back on here tomorrow and give yet another update, possibly with photos. Till then, keep stitching!
