Off to Nashville and new items online

While waiting for my flight to Nashville, I thought I'd make mention we have added our stitch guide section to the web site. They run between $10-15. We also added Candy Girl's section for those of you who have made known to us you want to purchase Candy Girl separately as a gift for someone . We'll add her "wardrobe" pattern books as they come available too.

The gate is calling.
Until next time...

Once upon a "Close n' Play"

I had the luxury of living near my cousins growing up. My cousins Tim, Tom and Andy had the coolest thing-

A Close n' Play. I always wanted one. It was a record player for 45's not sure if 78's worked on it. My favorite records to play on it were the coolest things ever! You see, back in the late 1960's and early 1970's the cereal boxes had "punch out" records on the back of the box. Mostly on Super Sugar Crisp, I think.

I collected as many as I could and always took them to play on the cousins' Close n' Play.

A few of my favorites: The Archies, and Bobby Sherman. The one I still have (photos above) came with my Dancerina Ballet Doll, incorporated into the packaging.

Yep, I loved reading the back of cereal boxes. Lots of animated shows were on the back of them too.

I adored having the Flintsones, Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Classic Disney (The Wonderful World of Disney show), Ruff and Ready, Davey and Goliath, Jot and a whole lot of other nifty characters for kids as part of the culture. Many were reruns, but the shows ran such a long time some were new too--but these awesome characters are for another post day.

BOOK 3 Thread Candy Studio Now available and shipping

Greetings ! The third Thread Candy Studio book is out! As we head into 2012 you'll see all sorts of different items in the books.

We've had numerous requests for more felt and felt/stitch combo projects. Enough that our Felt Candy section will soon be its' own publication and pattern line!

We've also had lots of requests for more charted designs (for needlepoint and cross stitch/counted thread use) --so we'll be adding more and more charts. Counted thread stitchers are stepping out more and more beyond the cross stitch and I constantly get design requests, so, it only makes sense...

As our first book series continues and concludes you'll see so many surprises in the current series spring boarding into the next series. One hint: less +more...

On a personal note- 2011 was absolutely the most difficult year of my life. Even more than the first year of "cancer". I am so grateful for everyone's kindness and compassion. I do hope 2012 settles down so I can

create more for you and find that serenity that is often needed in seasons of life. Again, thank you.

New products! Great gifts!

Our new purse/travel sized books will begin shipping December 5! The Stitch Journals are filled with pages to record project diary information as well as works in progress, threads, stitch guides, stitches, and more. We've also included chart paper, and various grids and blank "charts" for creating your own. They are available with a pink, green or blue cover. Click here to order and for more details.

The new SIMPLE STIITCHES book is volume one in a new series. Simple Stitches has large diagrams, a needle guide, thread guide (for canvas and fabric) and tips for left-handed stitchers too. Click here for details.

Our next "Master Series" Thread Candy Studio book releases after the first of the year. It includes an array of subject matter from Nativity/Chistmas, advent, candy, Spring, and articles. We also have a How to "Finish" section (ongoing), as we have had numerous requests for this.

Oh, all our designs will have charts and lined drawings so whether you needlepoint, cross stitch, use painted canvas or embroider you can create them.

Look in your Inbox next week for a free gift! If you have an evening you can make our last minute gift for a special someone.

Until next time,

Blessings
