It's time to freakin' RELAX and enjoy some quality cross-stitchin', book-readin', sun-drenchin' downtime and take a break from ALL you do. Stitch something for yourself, just for the pure enjoyment of it. Why not? To encourage your summer stitchin', take 20% off all kits, PDFs and supplies--everything in our shop--through midnight Sunday, July 8th. Just use the sparkly promo code SPARKLERS at checkout! Make like Betsy Ross and get to stitchin'! p.s. If you got our enews, you'd be the first to know! Sign up and get COOL!!

New kit! Go get it! Great for your workspace to share with the co-workers you love so well.

Our free PDF and PC Stitch patterns are now FREE WITH PURCHASE. Unfortunately, Paypal no longer allows zero-total checkouts, so in order to download any of the free PDFs, you'll have to make a purchase of something else on this site. There's no minimum amount required, the least expensive choice is probably another of our $5 PDFs. Sorry about the change, it was beyond my control! To see which PDFs are free, use the SEARCH button at top and search for "free"!

Inspired by comments from haters across the internet and how Heather B. Armstrong (dooce.com) embraced the phrase and turned it around. Also, while stitching this piece, I discovered it can be really fun to do it wrong! Take a break and mess this one up in your own signature way. Shut the haters up, then go on your way and continue with your usual doing-things-right!

I've been dying to tell you about the wedding proposal I stitched--but the happy couple tells the story so much better: http://thesoontobepapajohns.wordpress.com/
