Tuesday, March 18th:
​
WHOO! Market was a whirlwind, and although I am so excited to go, it's always such a relief to be back home. I drove for 13 hours straight on Tuesday, the 11th, and got home a little before 11 p.m. It was one hour until my birthday, the cats were swarming me, and I had to go to the bathroom. My phone rang, and I saw that it was Graham (he lives in Topeka). I thought it could wait a minute, so I came back to my phone, and it started ringing again. Graham, again, and I answered.
​
He started singing "Happy birthday to you," and I kept saying: "It's tomorrow! It's tomorrow!" Then....the singing was suddenly WALKING TOWARDS ME and Graham came into frame. He had flown from Kansas to celebrate my birthday! He and my husband had cooked it up over Christmas, as my husband knew he wouldn't be here (again) for my birthday; almost every single year he has a conference that falls on my birthday. Last year, I spent it alone.
​
Such a great surprise!
​
Anyway, came home to 850 orders, and am finally gaining speed. I made a trip into the doctor Thursday for a sinus infection, spent a few days printing invoices, and I just dropped another 155 packages off. Thank you for your patience. I am working very hard, but market always creates a bottleneck of orders. Lots of good stuff, for sure, and last night, as a treat, I let myself sit and stitch the first six letters of Kathleen Littleton's STUNNING new reproduction, "Amelia Fox 1868 Bristol Sampler." IT IS GOING TO BE GORGEOUS. I'm giving a try to 46 count linen, and you know what? Not so bad! Six letters down, hundreds to go!

I don't carry anything I don't like -- truly! There are so many great designs, old and new, so many samplers to stitch, so many fabrics to fondle, and lots of great fibers, books, tools, trims, and more.... watch for more expansion of products -- to not only include what's good in needlework, but what's good in .... well, being good!
​
You're going to love my flat shipping fees -- $5 in the U.S. Really! The more you buy, the better that deal gets, so get a clickin'.
Orders are always filled in the order they are received -- shipping waits can vary from one to seven days, depending on order volume. If you can add it to your cart and pay for it, that means that item is in stock and ready to ship to you (unless it's marked as a "preorder.") If you place an order and then see that an item is marked "out of stock," you probably purchased the last one. Items are subtracted from my inventory one-by-one as orders are placed.
​
I appreciate your business, support, friendship, and well-wishes. They keep me going day-after-day. Cheers! - Theresa
