Merry Christmas!

Do you need a break from all of the holiday hustle and bustle?  I have a suggestion!  Find your favorite beverage and take a few minutes to see our latest arrivals: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  Many of them are Christmas designs that cannot possibly be ready in time but that is okay; Christmas comes every year.  You will have a whole year to get them finished! The designers are getting exceptionally creative. I have never before seen a bumblebee in a Santa hat or a Fairy Coffee Mother!  With cross stitch there is never an excuse to get bored with your projects.  The variety of subjects and designs is mind boggling!

When you are finished looking through the new items (and have placed your order!), extend your break by taking a few minutes to reflect on the reason we celebrate.  It will help put all of your plans in perspective!  All of us at House of Stitches wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and a very happy, healthy, stitching New Year!

'Tis the season!

‘Tis the season!  Ho, ho, ho! I just listened to the weather forecast and it sounds like we will be seeing snow very soon.  Whether you live in an area with snow or not, it is always good stitching weather!  And we just happen to have new projects for your stitching enjoyment.  You can see the latest arrivals at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm.  Little House Needleworks brings us Molly Pitcher, the final design in the Early Americans series.  Farmhouse Christmas is the next LHN nine part series and is due to start in January. It looks like it will be really cute so ask to be put on our automatic list to receive each part as it is published.  The little sled ornaments continue to be very popular.  There are so many designs available!  I just typed sleds in the search box in our catalog and there are 39 charts.  Most have multiple designs so you can stitch sleds from now until next Christmas and never have to stitch the same one twice!

Taking time for a few stitches will help your sanity during this busy, busy season.  I like to stitch projects that go with the current season even if they will not be finished until the next time that season rolls around. My current holiday project is Woodland Wonder from Glendon Place, https://www.houseofstitches.com/detail.cfm?ID=34062. I will try to post a photo of my progress soon. Meanwhile, make time for your own projects and we will chat again soon!
