good morning! we are nearly done with our expansion…still a few details to finish up then i’ll take you on a tour…promise.
but in the meantime…the shoppe is back to normal hours…10ish-5ish m-f and 10ish-3ish sa…so you are more than welcome to pop in and see it for yourself.
while we’ve been working with power tools not needles and rotary cutters…our Christmas orders have been arriving…lots and lots of Christmas…cuz you know…we had all these June shows lined up. well, we all know how that turned out…but at least people are safe…in the end that is all that matters!
today i have our new Santa Claus Lane Collection by Melissa Mortenson of Polka Dot Chair. This collection is just yummy! It looks like all those pretty sugar gum drops mixed with buckets of cotton candy, and then drizzled with some gold glitter. Anything that looks like cotton candy is a winner around these parts…
Our Santa Claus Lane bundle features the cotton candy colored prints from this collection with a couple reds for good measure.
also…there is a little gold metallic in a couple prints…like that top pink print with the gold trees…the ideas are just swimming on how we will decorate the porch for Christmas this year. plus we’ve inherited some trees along with decor…but more on that when it gets just a *little* bit closer to Christmas.
these prints are also good fussy cut for my Christmas hexie quilt which i am diligently cutting hexies for…and more on that soon!
***
i have started my grey hexie flowers and have 2 complete flowers with white…this shot is from a couple days ago…
i will be working to get this done by the end of june…i really need an EPP finish…it feels like it has been forever.
i’d better get back to it…have a safe and happy tuesday!
and remember…to treat others how you wish to be treated. right now that seems more important than ever.
**happy stitching**
