~ A Friendly Reminder ~

 

 Hello Friends & Folk...

just a friendly reminder (again) that our OPEN HOUSE on SATURDAY DECEMBER 6th

does NOT INCLUDE A STITCH IN!

 

we are simply hosting an old fashioned Open House for our Needlework Shop,
 to see old & new friends and have a festive time of friendship 

BUT ~ No Stitch In is happening,
and I have been receiving numerous messages about this,
and am posting again as a reminder :)

 

 

STILL hoping to see you soon!

Hello Friends!

 

 Happy Autumn to us all! 

it is not quite 8:00 pm here in Virginia,

but it is totally dark outside...

we went for a walk after our supper of chicken soup and rosemary toast...
still very warm here, but hoping that will change now that it is 'officially' fall?

found a few snaps in my camera roll to share...
these are sassafrass leaves up in our big field...along the edge actually.
I love their shapes and colors!

this guy, below....
we don't know where he came from 
but he stays on the fringes of the field due to Grizzly
always chasing him.
I've named him Batman {lol}

a few weeks ago I visited Hannah & Marcus in Richmond, 
and this beauty was living outside their front windows!
I know I know...but I find them fascinating and beautiful and worthy of life too...

...and speaking of Grizzly...
here he is in Peter's His recliner cuddling with the throw pillow.

the 80lb. baby.

{xoxoxox}

I'm wanting to get started on Christmas designs,
and am almost finished cross stitching models for a few more of my 'littles'
that I hope to release very soon.

I want to hook some chairpads too.
and do some primitive applique.

and work on my spun cotton things.

and crochet. 

and and and...

~ SCAM ALERT!!!!

Well the world just gets uglier.
I was just notified by a customer/friend, that there is a website

www.lariveesewing.com that is offering kits AND patterns of my Little Nick & Cookie Klaus 
without my permission or having notified me, contacted me or even purchased from me as a wholesale or retail customer. I went to this website and sure enough, there they were, with MO MENTION of myself being the actual designer....

there is even another product listed on there that employs customers to purchase a cross stitch design to 'help out a young family dealing with cancer'....with no mention of the actual pattern designer's name.

and there are patterns from other designers of needlework on this website as well...

I called the number listed in their 'contact' info, and it took me to a shop in the USA that said they are receiving numerous phone calls from others concerned by this, 
and they told me their phone number was stolen and being used by someone internationally.
when you click on the websites 'customer care' link, it blathers on about refunds, tracking and shipping...highly suspicious!

*PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE!*

IT IS A FRAUDULENT SIGHT AND THEIR ADVERTISING FOR PRODUCTS IS A SCAM*

PLEASE pass this info along to your needleworker friends!

I truly thank everyone who is vigilant against crimes like this...
it hurts hard working, self employed, small business owners such as myself.
