Coming this week...

Appliqued baby onesies!! These things are quick, easy, and oh-so-cute!! I love making them for baby gifts, and of course for my own little one. I have a pattern for a snail, an airplane, a 4-petal flower, and a pinwheel. I think I'll sell them all together in one pattern, but I'm still figuring out the details. Stay tuned!!

And the winner is...

... GURL! Congrats! I will email you to get your address, and the book will be in the mail. :) Thanks to everyone for being so supportive. You're going to love this book.

BOOK GIVEAWAY!!

It's time for a giveaway!! This Little Birds book is so cute, and I feel honored to have a couple of my patterns published in it. I have a copy to give away for FREE!! If you want it, just leave a comment (with your email address) to this post. I will put all the comments in a hat and randomly draw one lucky person. Drawing ends a week from today, Monday the 28th. You've got a week to enter. One entry per person, please. Good luck!!

Our Family Tree

Finally, a new pattern!! I love birds lately. And since we are adding a new (and final) addition to our family THIS WEEK, I wanted to make a family tree stitchery, complete with our four little birds. Of course, you can customize this pattern to fit your family, adding birds wherever you want. Pattern goes on sale on Etsy on Monday. Be sure to check back for the link. :) Hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day weekend.

PS - There will also be a BOOK GIVEAWAY next week. Get a free copy of the Little Birds book!! More info coming tomorrow...so check back. :)

I bet you think I fell off the planet...

...but I didn't! I've been right here, remodeling, struggling to get off the couch with this huge belly of mine... celebrating 3 birthdays, moving bedrooms to make room for baby #4 (and yes, this is our caboose. Our final child. The end.) Oh, and I've been stitching. And sewing. And gathering many, many new ideas in this crazy brain of mine.

Here is the book. The cutest bird book ever, that is. Little Birds. I am thrilled and excited to have a couple of my patterns published in this sweet little treat of a book. They are exclusive, so if you want the patterns, you gotta buy the book. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. :)

And by the end of the week, I'll post my newest pattern (yes, it has birds on it. They are my new favorite) and I am also almost done with the Christmas pattern that should have been done last Christmas, but wasn't! It will be kind of like a Christmas in July thing. Which I never really understood, but oh well. I am also working on some appliqued baby onesies that are fun, fun, fun. And easy. Who doesn't love that?

Thanks for not giving up on me. :)

Back on track...

After taking a break, I am back to sketching and stitching! I've got some new patterns in the works that I am really excited about. AND... 2 of my patterns are being published in a new book coming in April, and I am excited to show you the designs. This book is beyond cute, and all about birds. I think you are going to LOVE it. I'll have a give away and one of you will win a copy of the book, so stay tuned... :)

My CRAZY life...

Things have been a bit slow on the blog lately, I apologize. My life has been a bit NUTS for the last little bit. Between two surgeries (My hubby's sinus/deviated septum surgery and my son's umbilical hernia surgery) and me finding out I'm pregnant...well, things have been a bit topsy-turvy lately. Busy. Not so fun. And I haven't had much time to stitch. So, I'm back. I am working on one more Christmas pattern. It will only be available online, I won't get it into stores on time. But it's cute, and I hope you like it. I will be finishing it this week. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanks for checking in with me from time to time. :)
