Sorry I'm slow on the blogging thing... I promise to check in here more often and share what's going on. Mostly it's just freakin' HOT in Texas right now so that kind of limits your enthusiasm once the heat hits you in the face. I am filling orders, planning for the Christmas holidays already with an awesome collaboration, wondering if I should do Halloween patterns again this year and what you might like...getting some more die-cut material in because I've been out and there's a weird delay...trying to keep up with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram...writing down new pattern ideas for...

Check out this cute bottle opener! Pop it on your keychain and watch summer hijinks ensue. Don't forget to look for a message from me in tiny print along the side. Get one free with every purchase of $30 or more, while supplies last!

New kit: Subversive is growing up! Now that you're hooked on cross stitch, it's time for something more challenging. This kit includes 18-count material and it is definitely a challenge. Now I know why people like sharp little embroidery scissors--I had to undo my stitches so many times... it's kind of embarrassing to admit. This was really fun to do, but you have to pay attention! And you might need some teeny scissors like me! But I think the end result is worth it--this might be my favorite of all the things I've stitched (so far!).

Come and get 'em!

I don't know about you, but these fonts make my pattern designing SO much easier. I just open the PC Stitch version (they're all available as PDFs or PC Stitch files) and then cut and paste the letters as I go along. I'm always looking for something like this on the web, where I don't have to recreate the pattern by sight every time... I can't believe I didn't think of making these earlier. So say hello to the three latest fonts: Skinny, Scripty and Smarty!
