As everyone knows by now, as of March 1st, Lizzie Kate will be sending out her final design and it is with great sadness that we say goodbye. Her designs were fun, some were funky, they were stress free and a joy to stitch. As a shop owner many of her designs were sampled by me and we were happy to offer her full line for sale in our shop. But everyone deserves to retire so we are sad but wish only the best to Linda and Allen as they start the next chapter in their story. You will be greatly missed. On a happy note, I spoke in the past about the Jim Shore chicks which I thought were too darn cute for spring/Easter. Well,I finally finished Aqua Chick. I loved their faces and while there is quite a bit of beading I didn't mind that, and then there was the stuffing, which wasn't bad, but because I love to overfill everything I'm surprised Aqua Chick didn't bust out at the seams. But he's done, hanging on our spring tree (or Easter tree right now). I did change the ribbon as they included a black ribbon for hanging and I just felt white would go better. It comes as a kit complete with everything, perforated paper for back and front, DMC floss, beads and ribbon. You supply the fiber fill.
Now it's on to a new project and I have several in my tote, plus I have to start packing for Nashville Market. Oh, my, I usually do this after midnight the night before we leave, but I'm determined to be more organized....we will see how that goes. The sun's up today, although it's in the 30's there are a lot of people walking around the boardwalk. This is usually a big weekend because the schools are closed on Monday for President's Day and the boat show is in town. We are seeing more people in the shop as well, unlike last weekend which was so boring in here with very few people showing their faces. I never feel like doing anything constructive when we aren't busy. I didn't even stitch and finally went to the office to work on taxes and left Sara alone to work the shops. Anyway, I need to get back to the website....so have a great weekend, hopefully the snow isn't coming your way...we're scheduled for rain. Although if it does rain and snow it's perfect weather for stitching. You will find me in the shop until 4 p.m. and then I'll hardly leave my sofa once I get home. Talk to you soon
