Thank you part two!

I know, I know-so many of you have been waiting for Spring-not only the real season but also the Cricket Collection graph-well, it is due out mid-February so hold on-and I know around these parts we will see and feel a touch of Spring next week-Fox news said by Thursday we will be close to 60 degrees-and Miss Beth will miss it! That will be a tad warm for me-but it will get rid of all of the nasty ice in my back yard-if it weren't for YakTraks I would be sending those pups down into the yard alone-and can't do that with Mr Fox around!!

So again, I want to thank all of you that sent in orders, that have sent kind remarks, comments, support and love-I am running around here trying to figure out how the heck to get this all completed yesterday!! But with the wonderful help from Mary Ann, Phyllis, Nancy, Eileen, Connie, Stella and Lise I am treading...I do apologize if I haven't gotten to all of the emails-I am slowly making my way through-so if you sent one and haven't heard back, hang in there!

Along with Spring, look for La Mer (the sea) from Cricket Collection-won't Beth love that one? Great for a beach house-or like mine, a wanna-be beach house!!

So back to mail order and talk to you soon!

Molly

Thank you!

Hi all-Thank you to all of you that came/emailed/ordered online to TSS on Sunday...we had sooo many familiar and new faces-so many lovely emails-so many nice comments-Thank you to Melba for bringing her new little fuzzy, Amiga-she is so sweet-I can't wait to see pictures of her in her many years of fun to come! To the sweet lady(I don't know your name) in the shop that commented on my stitching challenge-thank you!! To Liz T -thanks for allowing me "leeway" on my challenge!! To Barb W we loved your comments on our not so favorite FB player-we totally, totally agree here!! We will be sending out an email today (hopefully) -with any luck I am going to try to get it out as Beth is heading to New Zealand and I will be the one sending out info-so ahead of time, wish me luck on my temporary job!! I'm thinking I'm gonna need it, folks!!

The above are coming later this month from The Drawn Thread! Gorgeous as always!!

Have a good day and again, we can't thank you all enough !!

Molly

New from Prairie Schooler

Hi all-sorry it has been forever since I've updated you on the news-Beth and I have been crazy-busy trying to keep up with the mailorder, the web, ordering and the store-and it has been fun! There are tons of new goodies about to be released-and of course, this weekend is our annual Superbowl Sale! So I have been working like a dog (although my dogs don't work so hard-maybe I don't push them enough!!HAHA) to get items up today-and will again, tomorrow-so there will be lots to choose! The sale is from 12 noon until 4PM --20% off all but Dazor lights, DMC floss-we don't take framing in on Sunday either-other that that it's all up for grabs! Even the items that haven't made it to our shop yet!

Well, the above are new from Prairie Schooler and my favorite is As the Crow Flies-I think I will take it and use some overdyed floss like I did with Christmas Eve-that is when I finish up one of my challenge pieces-am back to Sampler Roundy and want to finish before Sunday so as to get it in one of our new round black boxes--stay tuned! The challenge is going extremely well-in fact I would highly recommend it--

Well, off to make dinner for my hard-working dogs!! New pics of them as well!!

Hope to see you (or hear from you) on Sunday!

Molly

Okay...okay

Hi all-Okay I've have been accused of switching up my order of projects in my challenge and, in a world of many that don't take responsibility, I am here to say, yes, I am guilty. But to be fair I am being accused by someone that would not even try the challenge. Furthermore, I am staying within the confines of my list-I have not deviated to other projects. In fact, I have stayed the course of the three days per project. So I say to my buddy Beth, bring it!

The first two above are coming from Amy Brueken and the third a sneak preview from Lizzie Kate-a Spring Alphabet...

Hope you all are good-not too sick of this weird January weather-I kind of like it but don't want to let my sunny weather loving friend, Beth know-so don't tell her I said--

Take care and enjoy this fabulous stitching weather!!

Molly

PS Sad we won't have stitching tonight-but after a bad accident on black ice I will be just fine with Mr Miley on my lap tonight!

Update on my projects

Above-A Bird in Hand La D Da

The Perfect Tree- Chessie and Me

Sewing Bird Pinkeep-Country Stitches

Jenny Bean Friendship Sampler-Shakespeare's Peddler

Hi all-A few pics of my challenge pieces-I had to change the order a bit as my Jenny Friendship Sampler is on display at the shop ( a Jenny Bean and Friends display)...but I am working away!! Have a great weekend-stay warm!! Keep your critters warm too! xoxo

Hi all-Am having a blast with the stitching challenge-I started stitching La D Da's Bird in Hand and now on to Country Stitches Sewing Bird--Each project is so much fun and how I am looking forward to getting back to them-it's interesting that knowing I only have the three days on each makes me want to get a bit of time of them each night!

We are now waiting for another winter storm here-maybe a chance to get in some stitching !!

Hope all is good with all of you-Little House has previewed the first ornament of the year-let us know if you want to be on our list-I already love the first one! Plus I love the new sampler she has debuted(neither one is here yet but we are hoping soon!)! Also new is the Love-Filled Heart from Country Stitches!

Thanks for stopping by and catching up-let me know how your challenges are coming--I will get more pictures of mine up soon!

Molly

Happy New Year-Project One

Well hello 2011! And so long to 2010!! I hope you all had good days over your holiday time-mine went very quickly-and back home I was! But how good it was to be back in my bed with my pups!! Their Grammy got them warm and fuzzy presents-one being a couch cover that we opened last night-never saw so much rolling around!!

I have completed days One, Two and Three on my first project-and I have posted a picture-I have also decided to include four projects I have started-so I will have to delete four and insert these four---

1. Sampler Roundy

2. Bird in Hand

3. Jenny Bean Friendship Sampler

4. Sewing Bird Pinkeep

5. Green Snowman

6. ABC Hornbook Primitive Needle

7. Frosty Flake

8. Perfect Tree Chessie and Me

9. With My Needle Quaker Sampling III over one

10. Cricket Collection 299 Picture Perfect adapted into a birth sampler for my great niece Molly Jane-her first birthday is in April!

I have included a picture of my progress on Project #1-it is over one and I have, of course, changed the colors-now I must move on to Project #2 but will look forward to getting back to #1 (the point really! This is already keeping me constantly interested!)

Thank you to all that sent comments along--and let me know how your challenges are going!

Molly xoxo
