Hi! How's the weather going for you? It's been beautiful!!!! But, I don't trust Mother Nature. I believe she's going to get us at least one more time this year. Hope I'm wrong!

We've been getting some new things in the shop since market. New charts are still coming out. Little House Needleworks has two new charts out - her new Monthly ornament #5, Winter Sheep should be in the shop today. Her new chart Robin Hood is just out and ordered. But note, there are 2 mistakes in the chart, both spelling mistakes: Sheriff is spelled on the chart with 2 r's and she tells you to just delete the one r and keep stitching; Lady Marian is actually spelled with two a's and she uses an o , so just replace the o with an a and you'll be okay.

Country Cottage Needleworks is putting out The Book Store and it's a cute blue house.

We've just gotten in a new stitching 'toy' that's neat. It's a Mini-Clip Magnifier Light. A 3.5 inch diameter magnifying lens with 2.25x magnification (5-diopter). The 7 inch flexible arm allows you to find a comfortable working position and the spring clamp is great for easy attachment to a table or frame. There is a double LED light and the 3 batteries are included. A great buy for under $21.00. This magnifier is also great for hobbies and crafts and electronics, not just for needlework.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: WE WILL BE CLOSED EASTER SUNDAY, THE FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH. WE WILL BE OPEN SUNDAY APRIL 11 FROM 11-2. COME CHECK US OUT.

Don't forget to start packing up that unwanted needlework stash for our Memorial Day Weekend Porch Sale, proceeds go to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. You can start dropping off your items anytime after April 15. I've had a lot of calls so I'm hoping we get a lot of good stuff. Thanks for your support in donations, both stash and cash.

Keep stitching...
