A humble thanks....

I wanted to thank you all

so very much for all of your wonderful, kind words regarding my book ~

from shop owners to friends to folks that are new customers,

the emails keep pouring in!

I'm so humbled by all of this ~ I am truly so very thankful for everyone's support of my work.

You have no idea what it means to someone like me who just likes to share what I do with you all ~
and now I get to do that on a much grander scale thanks to Kansas City Star books and all of the folks there who work so hard for designers like me.

here a just a few snaps of the projects you'll find in it...

There's a little something for everyone who loves needlework & handwork...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cannot believe that our SHOW is a week away!

every year we get so excited about seeing all of our vendor friends and guests,...

we are looking forward to another wonderful show and hope you can come by for a visit!

we have 25 vendors this year

I can't wait to see everyone and all of their goodies :)

and I'll be holding a small book signing too, if you'd like to purchase a copy of my book

or bring along one that you already have ~

the weather is looking to be perfect for us as well ~ yay!



and of course I have to share my pretty girl Minew in the marigolds ~

...Charlie is still in the hospital

and will more than likely be there for a while

before having to then reside in a

long term care facility ~
he has pneumonia now, they think

and is very weak...

thanks also to those that are keeping us in your thoughts & prayers ~

We will be fostering his little calico kittygirl Annie in the meantime...

hoping that she & our Minew will get along and be bestest friends.

Wishing you all a most wonderful and creative day

and Happy Friday the 13th to all!

*Blessed be, my Friends*
