Choose Happy Sometimes, it is a conscious choice to be happy & now, more than ever, we might just have to say these words out loud…’I choose happy’. A conversation among a group of designers has come together as a tiny but mighty movement to create a project of free designs for stitchers. Imagine
THANK YOU
Thank You – a complimentary design These 2 words pack a lot: they are strong, they are healing, they are kind, they mean so much. I thank you for your support of my designs, your friendship & the kind words and messages that you send. They mean the world to me. Thank you from both
MEANT TO BEE
Meant to Bee It feels like just yesterday when I was sharing ‘Love is Kind’ for our 31st Anniversary & we are about to arrive at our 32nd year as Mr. & Mrs. HOD 😉 We often talk about the good old days when we first met & started dating. Of course you always think
FALL IS FOR TEACHING
Fall is for teaching…well realistically, I teach other months as well (March to October), but there is something about the Fall – the school supplies back in the stores, the crisp air, or pumpkin spice everything!

FARM FRESH
It really seems as if everyone has gone farm crazy…& who knows how it all started…sort of a chicken & egg type of thing – (see what I did there?) As I was finishing my Fresh Eggs Farm for the front cover of this first Chalk on the Farm chart, I grabbed a few JABC
