Secret revealed!!
In a much earlier post I alluded to a secret that I was stitching on. Well, as so often in the world of needlework, the final "reveal" can take FOREVER!! I am ready to tell you! I have been a publisher of doll and craft patterns for nearly 8 years now, a business that has been both fun and a lot of hard work. I have decided to turn my designing to needlework, as it has always been my first love, and something I always come back to, no matter where else I seem to go creatively.
I have finished up the stitching on my first model, and I am about 1/2 way through my second. My first piece is a brides box with a colonial theme. I am finishing up the charting now. I cannot say when it will be ready for release, as I still have to send it to the photographer, and finalize the business paperwork. I am so excited, and I hope you are excited too! I have so many ideas and designs floating around in my head, I can't help but feel really envigorated by this new venture! Here is a small sampling of my bride box, just a small teaser to give you an idea!!

Dorothy is released and ready to ship!
My focus piece
I've decided to work up some kind of rotation to deal with all of my wips!! :) I have decided to take one of my BAP's and make it my focus piece, and then rotate some of the smaller projects in between. So far I have decided on my focus piece, but I still have to decide on which of the smaller pieces I want to work on. So here is a pic of Days of Advent. I have been working on block 2. After I finished block 1, I was considering restitching the whole thing on a different fabric, something softer, like a Lakeside linen. But I decided I will just continue on, mainly because I don't want to restitch block 1! LOL!

Blogger will only let me load 2 pics at a time! grrrr! Here are sheepish designs pincushion and January of the Country French house SAL.
