Ho ho ho!

No, the heat hasn't gone to my head - it's because the Christmas Stitches class is here! I know, you're probably thinking "Christmas?! There's ages until I have to start thinking about Christmas!"

But no. Now's the time to start planning and making - especially if you want to make your Christmas presents or decorations. So the class starts on August 20th to give you plenty of time to make things. You can sign up right now, right here.

Click on over to the shop to see all the details, but here's the skinny:

Class starts on August 20th and ends on September 16th. All materials will be available until November 30th. The projects are a combination of embroidery patterns and sewing projects. Beginners are very welcome - all stitches are explained and illustrated.

I hope you'll join me for some Christmas fun in the class! :-)

Snowflake patterns!

If you're not taking the Christmas Stitches class, then you're missing out on some fun projects and patterns! But fear not, like last year, you can get your mittens on the snowflake patterns! And then you can stitch the snowflakes on your mittens!

There are 3 snowflakes: Blue, Gold and Lilac. They are available in the shop right now. You can also buy all three together and save a pretty penny.

And if you fancy saving even more pennies, you can buy both the 2010 and 2011 collections together for a mere $20!
