Goodbye 2010

Another year behind us...
I'm enjoying this last day of 2010, tidying up my craft room a bit more and stitching some new bunny designs. As always, there are simply not enough hours in a day!
This past year has been a very difficult one, but there are many blessings to be thankful for, and that's how I wish to remember this year. Goodbye 2010!

Merry Christmas!

Castleberry Christmas Show - Hartford CT

This is my last show in a very busy year, and I am looking forward to it.  I have spent the greater part of the last week and a half stitching as fast as I could, to have a decent showing after nearly selling out at the last two shows.  Many more gingers, snowkids, and those little mice!!!    Thank goodness for all the totes of UFOs that hubby persuaded me to hold on to, they saved me for sure!   Anyway I am exhausted, and am done stitching.... I've done all I can possibly do, and that's got to be good enough.     It's been a very heartwarming year and I feel like I have stitched a million stitches!  Thank you all my beautiful customers.... I've enjoyed every moment, laughing and crying with you, and I am humbled by your friendship and support.  It makes what I do so worthwhile!        I hope you can visit the show.  With gratitude... Denise  

Deerfield and Castleberry Shows

My remaining shows for this year.... I'm looking forward to them but will also be happy when they are over.  It's been a busy year, and a very fulfilling one, but tiring too.  I finished all I needed to in time for Deerfield.   We will be away for the following weekends. I will be away from the computer for much of the time leading up to and during the shows...

Folk Art Festival of New England

I've not had time to do much of anything online recently.  I have had the computer OFF most days so there is no temptation because I can sit here for hours.  You know how that goes! With Granville came the realization that Folk Art Festival was only weeks away, yikes!  Where does the time go!   I love autumn and really got carried away with it this year, but not much to show in the way of winter items.   Three big winter shows and very little finished, so-o-o-o-o  I have had to get really really busy stitching and staining and dipping... Thankfully I started many things this past spring...   The very first glimpse of my winter items will be at the Folk Art Festival of New England, in Marlborough MA this weekend. Be sure to stop in if you're nearby.   I will have prim santas of all sorts, plus my snowfolk, snowman buckets, feedsack angels, and quite a few cardinals.  And lots of one of a kinds...  Folk Art Festival of New England Promise to post pictures when I return... Have a nice weekend and a happy halloween! ~D
