Tis the Season!

December 12, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

This has been a slightly different pre-Christmas season for my husband & I. With no one in High School anymore, there are no winter band concerts, no Christmas Sunday School programs, chasing to find the “hot” Christmas toy. Different, but not bad. Maybe the nest is empty, but as they slowly make their way back

November 15, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

Whew…it has been a busy Fall! I do not normally “move about the country” (stolen borrowed from the Southwest commercial…who has let me build up an impressive number of frequent flier miles btw) as much as I have these past few months. Before I continue the travelog, I want to share a (bad) picture of

Stitching At the Beach!

October 23, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

I’m back from the beach – sand, surf, and stitching…what a combo! (I highly recommend it!). I am getting on the road again so I thought I would post a few quick pics with more to follow later. After what seemed like a journey that took forever, my friend & I landed in Myrtle Beach

To The Beach!

October 14, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

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

Finish It Friday…on Saturday!

October 5, 2013 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

My computer decided it didn’t feel much like working yesterday! Thanks to my techie husband, he got me up & running again and I can leisurely look for a new laptop instead of runing pell-mell to the nearest Best Buy… So my Finish it Friday is coming to you on Saturday! The actual title for

I have had many questions about some of my finishes that I occasionally post on my Hands On Design facebook page and also here on the ol’ blog, that I decided to try Finish It Friday’s. Every once in awhile…on a Friday, I will post about a project that I finished with some great pics

I was thrilled to hear that the Fall TNNA Needleart market was moving back to St. Charles. What a great place to come back to markets with my new company! That was not to be when I saw the dates. As I have talked about in posts & on FB…we will be moving our baby

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

It’s almost time! For the past 5-ish years, I h It’s almost time!
