New projects for snowy days!

One of the charts on our updated What’s New Page (https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm) sums up our feelings about the weather.  It is from Artful Offerings and it says, “More Snow…Oh! No!”  So far we have 105 inches for this winter and this morning found us with 2 more inches.  The good thing is that it makes perfect weather for stitching!  We have a nice selection of new projects and accessories for your stitching pleasure.  The 2018 Collector’s Heart is here as well as Lizzie Kate designs that celebrate love.  Those of you who are sheep collectors will not want to miss our new sheep scissors.  They are so cute that you might have to have a pair in each color!  If house pets are more your thing be sure to see Beware of Dog (And Cat).  The Nashville Needlework Market is fast approaching!  Glendon Place is offering a Limited Edition kit that needs to be pre-ordered by January 31.  We will bring your pre-ordered kits back from Nashville on March 6.

I need to give you the unfortunate news that postage rates have increased dramatically for small packages.  Maybe I listen to the wrong news reports but I have not heard anything about the increase from the media.  Packages that cost $3.00 to mail last week are now $3.50!  Stamps went up a penny and flat rate Priority Mail packages went up a nickel.  I wish we could absorb the increase but it just is not in our budget.  Perhaps the answer is more road trips!  It is so much nicer to see things in person and feel the fabrics and fibers!
