It’s been awhile since I logged in. Our grandson, Kristopher, has gone home. We had him visiting for several months during the summer. The house seems empty again. No constant chatter, and daily replay of his day. He is truly loved and missed. His 4th birthday is coming up this month. Hard to believe he is 4. My oldest grandchild is Haley. She is 7 years old now and is such a joy to have around. During this past summer she played with Kristopher in the pool. We had a hard time getting her out of the water. Her brother, Logan is coming up on 2 years as is Kristopher’s brother, Korvous. Gosh - I just love the grandkids.

It’s back to routiine at our home and we are starting to prepare for the holidays as I am sure many of you are as well. I’m thinking about humiliating my dogs (as hubby says) and put them in holloween costumes this year. We have yorkies. Hubby says he doesn’t have yorkies, but he sure does like it when they sit with him on the couch. We started out with two: Barney and Pebbles. Pebbles had a litter and hubby got attached to one and now we have three. But he doesn’t have any dogs.

I’ve been busy at work and have enjoyed talking to those of you who call. We have two new lines from Kona Bay coming soon. The Recesskits and jelly rolls have finally come in.  I have a slew of Hoffman handpainted batik fat quarters to put together, and the Garden Twist collection from In The Beginning is here.  If you like this collection, you’ll want to place an order quickly as this line has been discontinued.  Rainy Daysfrom South Sea Imports will be on the site shortly.  This is a really cute childrens pattern.  City Girl from Benartex looks like it may be on the discontinued list as well.  I was told that they are not reprinting the fabric, so don’t delay if you love this line…buy it now! I have several collections on order and will get them posted to the Coming Soon section of the website this weekend.  Don’t forget to check out the Last Call area.  There are some terrific deals there.  So much sewing, so little time. Where does the time go?

Until next time,

Take it one stitch at a time…
