I looked back on last year’s post & was hit by the photo of Bill & I standing on the lot we had just purchased…if we were to try & stand in that same spot today, I think we would be in the garage! Exciting times coming in this New Year but 1st, I want
Architect, Engineer, & Cross-stitch Designer!
Every day as a cross-stitch designer brings with it a different to-do list! Fortunately I live for to-do lists! Sometimes it’s packing & shipping, finishing & charting, or photographing & bookkeeping. You might notice that one thing isn’t mentioned…designing! Designing is happening all of the time! You know those FB meme’s that say ‘my brain
The ‘Buzzy’ Month of May
Can I tell you how buzzy…I mean busy it has been around here? College graduation is fast approaching for our youngest, Chris – last tennis meets, last projects to turn in, last internships, last tuition payments (oh, wait…this one is for us!)

Grab Your Bread Bowl!
That title probably has you scratching your head… I have watched a few Floss Tube videos & have seen quite a few Facebook/Instagram posts about how stitchers are striving to fill their bread bowls with seasonal smalls.

‘Crafty Cathy’ comes out to play!
Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like a little Arts & Crafts…right? Like a lot of stories I tell these days, it starts like this: I saw a picture on Pinterest… The ingredients: my new favorite tag punch (the big green thingy), baker’s twine (I have every color!), Christmas cards that I bought 2 years ago &
Eat, Sleep, Stitch, Repeat…with friends
If you’ve got stitching friends, then this probably makes you giggle just a little bit (or maybe more than a little bit…) A few weekends ago, I stole away to Canton, SD (don’t blink)…to an amazing little bank turned quilting retreat: aka heaven on earth (or as their slogan says…Piece in Peace).
