Christmas Week

Greetings, fellow stitchers! Well here we go on this quick slide towards Christmas-how fast the time is flying! I don't know about you but I still have quite a list and very little time left-yikes! And there is no way to hit the "HOLD" button for a bit more time! I did stop to make lace cookies (I know they only take a few ingredients, a quick set up and 7-10 minutes to bake)...I did get my tree up and decorated and did manage to place a few non-nostalgic ornaments down low-those little white fluffy boys have managed to only sniff these low hangers but there is mischief in their eyes. They are waiting for a distraction-a doorbell, an unbalanced load, a smoking oven....they know (as do I) that it is only a matter of time!
I also pulled out a bunch of my stitched Christmas pieces-how fun it is to see all of my old friends-I switch out everyday pictures for these Christmas ones-some I keep up all year long...
The above will be out from By The Bay-appropriately named "New England Winter"...
Well, I hope you are enjoying pieces of your holiday season-or chunks if you are so lucky! Take care and be good-Santa is watching!!

PS Thanks to all of you that came to stitching on Friday-it was a fun evening!!

Yahoo-Cliff Lee!

To all of my Phillies compadres-this is such a gift!! To have four fabulous pitchers under one rood-to have Cliff Lee back in Philly-we never wanted to see him go! For him to chose us over the NYY where he could have made more money!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cliff!! You have made the unbearable cold weather bearable-you have given us a hop in our step! I have been wide awake since hearing the news at 6:15AM with hope for a season of entertainment!

For those that aren't sports phans I do hope you are enjoying this season of hope, joy and love-I am loving today!!

Tuesday's News

Howdy to all-Today's news has 4 designers with new projects for us--the first four seen are from Aury TM Designs-Too Hot...

Too Sweet...

Too Windy (note that some of his head is blowing off!)...

Too Scared (that squirrel does look hunree aka hungry!)...

From Plum Street Samplers comes We Three....

From Just Nan is Snowball....

And last but not least is Snowman Kisses from CherryWood Designs...

I hope you all had a good weekend...Mine was very sad...one of my Mom and Dad's dogs (I mentioned earlier she had bladder cancer-had been going through chemotherapy and some other treatments to extend her life) took a sudden turn on Saturday night and was gone by Monday noon- Zoe was a dear soul with a loving heart-everyone that met her instantly loved her-she will be sorely missed...

I will keep you posted on any other new items I see-next Friday the 17th is Stitching at the Ford-looking forward to that---Until we chat again, take care of yourselves!! Molly

New from Annie Beez

Well hi all! The above will be coming from Annie Beez--cute for ornaments, huh? How are things going for you? I'm heading north this weekend for a Candlelight Celebration at Canterbury which is a Shaker Village in New Hampshire...it is a nice way to bring in the Christmas season...
I have two very dear friends that are each going through very dark days right now-during this season of lights, music and joy I don't know how they find the strength to get out of bed...to all of you, especially NC and SB I send out my love, prayers and hope for peace.
Until next week, have a good weekend!
Molly
PS If you are local there is a food drive at the Metroplex in Plymouth Meeting-Camp Out for Hunger-they take non-perishable food items, pet food, cash donations or you can donate at your local Acme--it is a wonderful thing that the crew at WMMR are doing with Philabundance!

Happy Cyber Monday

Hi all-Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving-wow, did that go fast...I still think we are heading towards Halloween! Yikes!!

I've started my Christmas shopping-I went to the outlets on Friday morning before working and then went to KOP yesterday for a bit-on Saturday I went to several small businesses...how's it going for you all? I've had the best luck so far at the outlets...

Don't forget that we are having a fabric sale through tomorrow-all in-stock fabrics are 20% off-please let us know if you need info on what's in-stock-we'll be glad to check!

Up above are gorgeous and on their way to us soon-from Drawn Thread-the smaller pieces are meant to be calendar covers but definitely could be small pictures...and they don't necessarily have to say the month--it could be a family name, an address...I also think this would be great in a frame that could be changed each month-even one that has room for calendar pages! I just love the designs!

Well, that's it for today--more tomorrow(OMG that will be the last day of November!)

BTW Thanks for stopping in today, Catherine!!

Happy Birthday, Nemo!

Above-new from Primitivebetty-love it!

Here it is Friday again and I feel like I haven't gotten anything accomplished-I spent the day yesterday stitching, grocery shopping and doing laundry and didn't get a single picture of Miss S on her new bed-what a slug! And now today is bubby Nemo's big 1st birthday (a made-up day as I don't know when he was really born) -the above picture was his first night at my house-his little face tells it all-what have I gotten into? But he is such a little imp and loves his big brother, Miley.

Heading to stitching in a few minutes-looking forward to seeing some of you there! I've only brought three projects with me :D

The new Country Cottage Snowflake Serenade and Little House North Wind graphs will be next week-and don't forget about our post-Thanksgiving free gift we give away while supplies last-we also will be having another special on Friday and Saturday-stay tuned...

Have a good weekend, get some stitching in, and thank you to all of you that emailed/called/stopped in with recipes!!

Til next week--Molly
