SUPERBOWL STOCK UP SALE!!! Friday & Saturday only , February 5th & 6th
I don’t know about you, but the Superbowl for me is usually a Super Craft day! Either I take no part in it, and head down to my studio for some much needed extended sewing time, or decide to be a joiner and watch while knitting. Honestly I cannot sit and watch anything on TV anymore without a knitting project! I feel too sedentary, but with a project in hand, I am getting something done!

We have been un-packing lots of new patterns! Some of the best are these two from Amy Butler. Sweet Harmony is a tote pattern and the Liverpool is a versatile button front style that can be made into a tunic, shirt, or short or long dress. There are also a ton of new patterns from Sew Liberated. I will share those with you later!
Piper is very fond of rummaging through my purse, apparently there are all sorts of treasures hidden inside. The other day she pulled out my lip gloss and started rubbing the closed container on her lips and laughing. So I guess she is watching my every move, which is a little scary and very sweet all at the same time. Now every time she gets my handbag, she goes right for the lipstick, and is very pleased with herself once she finds it. I may need to find a locking lip gloss now.
I can only seem to narrow it down to four favorites from the Dolce collection from Grand Revival. Besides loving these prints, the fabric seems to be extra silky and soft. Okay, I guess if I was pinned down and forced to choose one, it would be the Robins Egg blue floral below. Its funny, I was noticing that a great many of my favorite fabric picks are blue. Yet I don’t really consider blue one of my favorite colors, maybe it is after all??
This fabulous coat has become my latest obsession. It is getting to be that time of year when you start thinking about updating your wardrobe for spring, and I think this would be a perfect start. I may have to order it for myself today, or that might just be wishful thinking. I may have to check my out my bank account and let it make the decision for me.
We sell the fabulous pin cushions and pins made from felt flowers that are shown above. We sell them like hotcakes! They are so beautiful! Ida who makes them for us, now has put out a pattern to share with you all of her secrets. So now you can make your own!

A few weeks ago, I was helping a customer in the shop with a project she was working on. As she left the store, she gave me a little business card and said “Thank You”. It is the card above and on the back it had the quote above. It really made my day! I have never seen these types of cards before, have you? What a really unique way to say “Thanks:.
