Styling your self!

I wondered why no one had commented on any of my posts lately (though there have been very few posts!) and this a.m. when I went to post about the Renato Parolin book for sale  (below), I saw that somehow, comment moderation had been turned on (NOT BY ME!).  :-(  I just went through & added SOME of the comments, but on others, I hit the wrong button & deleted them.  :-(  I'm really sorry....  it wasn't intentional - I have never done this before - and I clicked the wrong button (which I have done before, just not on this blog!). :-( I'm going to figure out how to turn this comment moderation off now (I hope) and thanks very much to those who visit & to those who post.  Look for a giveaway very soon......  August has just been a busy month, and with the Pals Fall Fling about 6 weeks or so away, it's going to stay busy I think! ;-)  Looking forward to seeing many of you there, we have a great group this year!! Thanks agai...

I ordered this for someone & they won't pay me for it, so I'm offering it up for sale. The cost is $45 + postage and I can take PayPal, CC's or money order for payment. If you're interested, send me an email. Here are the details - L'abécédaire fleuri Renato Parolin gives honor to the beauty of flowers, their infinite forms and colors. He proposes you some deep red embroideries for a marvelous cross-stitch sampler where flowers and letters mingle together in a very elegant way. 96 pages. Thanks, Amy amycspals@yahoo.com

For those of you who wanted to know when we're going back to The French Hens for a stitch-in, it's set for Dec. 4th - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We'll have a nice lunch, a great time stitching and we'll do some sort of small Christmas exchange since it's in December. Mark it on your calenders now - giving you PLENTY of notice! And don't forget the Pals Fall Fling Stitching Retreat in Myrtle Beach in October.  It's almost full now, but we might still be able to squeeze in one or two more.  You can find the details here - http://crossstitchpals.com/convention.html Marie of Blackberry Lane Designs & Louise of Cherished Stitches will both be there.  Louise is going to teach a "Halloween Quaker" themed class on Saturday - can't wait for more details on that.  They will both be bringing their models for a "show & sell" (selling patterns of course, not models!), can't wait to see those in person!  Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stitch...

I had a great day last Saturday with a bunch of stitching friends. We got together at at a small cafe here in town & spent 6 hours stitching & chatting & having a wonderful lunch! I took a few pics and here they are.... Donna, Myra & Lynn Kathy & Debbie Charlene, Deborah & Carolyn (l to r) Judy, Donna, Karen, Yvonne, June, Susan & Carrie and in that middle table on the right, there is Nicole, Faye & Linda.  I managed to delete the pic of them together & couldn't get it back, sorry my friends! Hoping to do this again in EARLY December - maybe you can join us! OH, and the pics are clickable to see larger images if you'd like... I hope to get some pics taken this weekend so I can share some of my stitching pics...  yes, I've been stitching a little bit! :-) Have a great weekend & HAPPY STITCHING!

Think that was a long enough title for such a short post?  ;-) I've had a busy summer - and it's not over yet! ;-)  The SC Stitch-In is this Saturday - it's not too late if you want to come, just send me an email for details!!  We're going to have a great time! And I have to share the new t-shirts we just got today - I think they're going to be a big hit - And you can visit here to order and to see the other 4 designs we have as well.   They're all really cute & really popular (and this is MY new fav!)...  who doesn't need a new stitching shirt? Oh, and we just added HUNDREDS of items to the Down Sunshine Lane Sale pages - 25% - 40% and 50% off.   I'm sure there is something you MUST have from one of the these pages - so come on over & check them out .  There are new releases added too of course.  I've been stitching a bit off & on - hopefully will have some stitching to share with you soon. I'll try & catch up next wee...
