As I sit at my computer, it is rainy and dreary outside. It is not supposed to let up until Wednesday! I suppose I should be thankful that it is not the white stuff coming down. What I am most thankful for is that this wednesday I am boarding a plane (cue “leavin’ on a

October 5, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

Surf, Sun, Sweet Tea & Stitching

July 31, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

This week I took a trip that was 30+ years in the making. Topsail Beach, Topsail Island, a NC barrier island was my family’s vacation destination while I was growing up. As the youngest of 3 girls, I spent that precious week growing through those awkward pre-teen and teenage years and enjoying the freedoms of

Happy Independence Day!

July 4, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

It’s sunny outside, I have a cup of coffee, a view of my neighbors lovely gardens (gardening=not my forte), Wimbledon on the TV, and everyone is still asleep…this is called ‘me’ time! I was going to stay off the computer today as I spent a loooong day charting & designing yesterday. My husband left for

Road Trip!

I’m joining fellow designing friend, Tracy Horner of Ink Circles. Food, fun, friends, and stitching of course! I’m really looking forward to meeting face-to-face a few of my Facebook friends and teaching

I’ve Been Framed!

June 7, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

Well, it’s about time life returns to “normal”…or at least what passes for it! I don’t do a whole lot of framing any more, but every once in awhile, I get on a framing frenzy. (Or at least, my customers do!) This is a cool project I’m finishing for a stitcher. This is a monthly

I am often asked if I ever get to stitch for enjoy I am often asked if I ever get to stitch for enjoyment & my answer is…of course, I always enjoy stitching 😉❤️

Yes, I know what you really mean…do I get to stitch designs that are not my own. Sometimes, yes. 

My favorite time to stitch is early morning, with a cup of coffee, watching the world wake up…a little calm before the day begins.

What is your favorite stitching time?
