What’s new at the shop.

Wow. I ordered several new books and they came in yesterday. I forgot what I had ordered only that they are all really cool. At least to me they are. I remember several of them so I’ll pass that info along.

We got 3 charts from Lavender Wings. Candy Cane Kisses, a band sampler without any decorative stitches. It’s really a cute piece and I want to stitch it now! The other is called HO HO HO, it has Santa holding those words on a string. I also want to stitch that one right now. Another one that I really liked is from Ewe and its called Room For Ewe, and it has a sheep sitting in an overstuffed chair. Way cute! We got the new White Christmas from Mirabilla, amazing what that lady can do every time. Becky Boo’s has a really sweet design out called Let It Snow, it’s snowmen that can be made into tree ornaments, but I think I’m going to do them all on one piece of fabric. There is another one by her that’s called Sweet Tooth; it has Santa holding up a string of cookies. There are buttons from Just Another Button Company on this one

Actually there are so many that are really great. I think that the designers have been very busy these past few months. I can remember some titles, but not the designers and I would hate to slight them, so I will try to get on here tomorrow when I am actually at the shop to include them in the list. Oh, Barb Peterson from Something In Common has 2 new designs out that we just got in as well. I’m so glad to see her going back to her woodland roots. I love her moose and bear and the outside creatures in her samplers. I have stashed both of those back as well to add to my bedroom walls as soon as I get them stitched.

Not to mention all the really neat Halloween ones we got in. I’m going to have to put Martina on a back burner and get out my turbo needles to get this stuff stitched before the holidays begin. Always wanting new models in the shop and I better get busy. There were several that were already out of stock when I ordered so I will be placing an order again this next week. We are going to be stuffed to bursting with new books.

We still have not ordered the Needlepoint Inc Silks, but I hope to get that done before fall arrives.

One of our silk distributors (Gloriana) is moving, so getting things from her for awhile will be a real stinker. I expect thing to be back to normal for her mid August at best.

Summer market is coming up and the designers always save their best things for that time, so by August we should have some really outstanding new things.

We ordered an up light for me to try out on one of my many Martina projects, and I think we will be handling them in the shop as well if I like it. So if you are local and you want to try it out come on in. That’s another reason we got it. Let the customers try it out.

Have a great day stitching.

Today is a great day to stay inside since its raining here. I get to brush a dog and do laundry.
