Happy Holidays

I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very happy and festive holiday season. Regardless of what holiday you are celebrating this time of year I hope you enjoy spending time with family and friends!!

I've been busy knitting & crocheting kitchen sets for customers. That seems to be the hot item for us this year. They are so practical it makes perfect sense to me!! And I love making them. Making handmade gifts are always fun for me though.

The crocheted sets I have posted at the web site, Crochet Kitchen Set. I wish I had a picture of the Knitted Sets. Unfortunately I can not find the cord to my digital camera so I can down load the picture to my computer!! I use the Peaches & Creme cotton yarn and let the customer pick their colors. They have been moving like wild this year!! Hopefully I'll get more made up for the store!! I'm almost completely out of them now!!

Thank you all for your continued patronage. And, I pray all of you have a wonderful holiday season.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING and a Sale!!

What's New

Hi All,

We've added a few new items to our website so I thought I would give you an update.

For those of you that tat we have added the DMC Brillinat Tatting Cotton.

Bernat has brought out some new colors in the Boa. And they are larger skeins now!! It only takes one skein to make a scarf now!! You can find the new colors listed on our regular Bernat Boa page.

The ladies and I have been busy little bees!! We've added some items to the Gift Shop.

So remember if you want to give handmade, but you don't have time to make it yourself make sure you check out our Gift Shop. We try to keep the prices on our handmade items very reasonable. We make these items because we enjoy the craft. Getting reimbursed for the materials and a bit for our time is just an added bonus. I even have several ladies that resell our items to add to their inventory at craft shows without adding to their work load.

Thank you all for your continued patronage. I hope you have a fabulous day!!

Thank you,
Lisa

Embroidery & Quilting Patterns and Booklets

For all of our embroidery and quilting customers we've added a few new items!! You asked and we listened!!

We've added Iron On Transfer Books - These are booklets that have the several patterns with all the same theme.

Quilt Pattern Books - These are pattern booklets for cut quilts. Several of the booklets have some of those old heirloom patterns that are hard to find now!!

Hot Iron Transfer Collection - These are collections of hot iron transfers for quilts with a single theme. Like the 50 States or the State Birds.

And Jack Dempsey has come out with some new stamped items. You can find the new patterns by watching the Jack Dempsey New Items Page. I still have more items to add to this page. I'm adding them as I can so you may want to check back because there are more than I have listed there.

Sugar'n Cream Super Size

We have added the Lily Super Size Sugar'n Cream to our line. We have never carried this line simply because most you asked for the regular Sugar'n Cream. And since the cotton yarn colors in the Super Size were always the same as the colors in the regular size we just didn't bother carrying the Super Size. Well...Lily brought out some new colors that are only available in the Super Size!! We didn't want to miss out on the pretty new colors so we've made them available.

Happy Labor Day

I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very Happy Labor Day.

I hope all of you have a safe and blessed holiday weekend!!

Thank you,
Lisa
