We would like to offer to you the "Things Unseen Mystery Sampler" from Lizzie Kate. </div>
They have designed a very special Mystery Sampler, entitled Things Unseen. It's a year-round design with beautiful "heart" felt words to live by...any day...any season...all year long.<br />
<br />
Things Unseen will unfold in 3 parts...one each in November, December and January, with complete instructions on how to connect the 3 parts of the Mystery Sampler. They are also including a BONUS design, which will also be presented in 3 parts - a bit with each sampler part.<br />
<br />
EVERYTHING you need to make this special sampler is included. In addition to the 3 design portions, you will have fabric, thread packs and a very special embellishment pack.<br />
<div>
<div>
Part 1 (early November) includes 1st part of Things Unseen along with the precut fabric (linen or Aida), thread packs (with an exclusive color) and embellishment packs with this order, if requested(sold separate). Part 1 will also includes the first part of the BONUS design.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

The excuses of inventory and year end paper work could suffice if I didn't know deep down it is really procrastination. I am reading a book on breaking the habit of procrastination but only time will tell if it works.<br />
<br />
At the store here we had a busy holiday season. Our Wednesday night stitch group made ornaments for the wool feather tree we displayed at Portsmouth's 'Festival of Trees'<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiq-LTFgOZQFUOK9i2gg00X-ra7QCZA31yyKs2tqFjXSaivThuEZo-MOp8AR_cHLAkmeRM3ev7CN9T_u7Dr9dUg2u1wUmnfQxVVTpGzSIEwLljRmV4HNgVrnhCZjWaQktxhz_hk2KzSWw/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiq-LTFgOZQFUOK9i2gg00X-ra7QCZA31yyKs2tqFjXSaivThuEZo-MOp8AR_cHLAkmeRM3ev7CN9T_u7Dr9dUg2u1wUmnfQxVVTpGzSIEwLljRmV4HNgVrnhCZjWaQktxhz_hk2KzSWw/s320/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Donna of 'By the Bay Needleart' gave 2 classes on making a smaller version of the tree. They all came out wonderful and every one seemed to have a great time. Donna is working on having some other classes here so keep checking the blog to see what she comes up with. She seems to be an endless supply of amazing things. I just got a sneak of peek of some of her future designs and you're just going to love them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Our newest item of the store can also be attributed to Donna she purchased a pair of these awhile back and showed them to me:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UIoY5vavhb3vf_Cccr-8cOLDEyQqopOB3JmBgXM3CTc0fub7UtEmINqBrRhQ3B9Mf2AVjXDL31-x2hwS17I2UuJLpoPRsyX079DjGDlhhi1Qjs7XexMzv72iOb9IliKLMJcCZZ-wanA/s1600/100_2192.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UIoY5vavhb3vf_Cccr-8cOLDEyQqopOB3JmBgXM3CTc0fub7UtEmINqBrRhQ3B9Mf2AVjXDL31-x2hwS17I2UuJLpoPRsyX079DjGDlhhi1Qjs7XexMzv72iOb9IliKLMJcCZZ-wanA/s320/100_2192.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They are LightSpecs from Foster Grant. Basically they have take our "readers/ cheaters" and put a led light on each side of the glasses. I have to say they really do illuminate your stitching in the right circumstance. If I am at home stitching under my Ott Lite they don't make a difference but here at the store under many fluorescent lights they do make a big difference. I think they would probable be great in a class room setting or at a stitch group. The glasses are no more expensive than a regular pair of cheaters at $29.95 and come in 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 magnification. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-DC2-JVpcDkA5nrURCQ1wPTigouWVBmnJJJuw2QgE5B8sbXa8fhPZkBWZWCB98CKWjhYMCW5GNXizChWfCtTSZLz7x4uMaW2LxaCZhx6IPnSOk3d5Wkdq-eBlwiZO2WlZJkQqDh7TVsY/s1600/coverlr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-DC2-JVpcDkA5nrURCQ1wPTigouWVBmnJJJuw2QgE5B8sbXa8fhPZkBWZWCB98CKWjhYMCW5GNXizChWfCtTSZLz7x4uMaW2LxaCZhx6IPnSOk3d5Wkdq-eBlwiZO2WlZJkQqDh7TVsY/s320/coverlr.jpg" width="249" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the newest book from Barb and Alma of Blackbird Designs. It contains some wonderful information about 24 samplers from the Spencer Museum of Art. It also has 11 projects inspired by the samplers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> If you are lucky enough to live near Boston Ma you need go to the Museum of Fine Art, they have been running a wonderful exhibit of 'Embroideries of Colonial Boston'. The 3rd and final part, Domestic Embroideries, starts September 17th. If the first two parts are anything to go by it should be a wonderful show. I must say the new Art of the Americas wing is wonderful and well worth a visit.</div><br />

We will be starting the new group at the end of September and the plan is to work on Rosewood Manor's 'Past and Present'. We will have more information coming soon.</div><br />

There is a Wednesday night group that meets at 6:30pm and a Tuesday morning group that meets at 10:30am. Both get together on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month. there is no charge just bring your current project and come and stitch,bitch and most importantly laugh.<br />
<br />
We also have a Stitch a Long that is working on 'Mouline Rouge' by Long Dog Samplers<br />

They meet the last Saturday of the month. It is taking them a little longer than expected to finish this piece but they are planning the next project so keeping checking here for updates on that, maybe you would like to join them? I'll try to take some photos when next the group gets together.<br />
<br />
Isn't it amazing how much stitchers have in common, we come from all different walks of life and yet when it comes to stitching we all are very similar. Is there one stitcher out there that doesn't have more patterns then they will ever stitch in there life? Do we all not go weak at the knees when we see new colors from our favorite thread companies? Can't we just spend hours just looking at our stash dreaming of the possibilities.<br />
<br />
My consolation is that I am in very good company!<br />

<br />
Today I wanted to highlight a couple of new Just Nan's limited edition pieces. The first is 'Minerva's Mouse' it is one of those wonderful enameled figurine boxes that Nan does every year.<br />

Miss Mousie hides inside the box when she's not out chatting with Minerva</span></center><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">I love this piece not only because it is beautiful but my grandmother, who was one of my stitching mentors, loved owls. She had quite a collection of owls and when she passed away a few years ago all the grandchildren received some of her pieces. This one is the first that I have added to my collection. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Another of Just Nan's new limited editions is the 'Emma and Eliza' series. The first to be released is 'Emma & Eliza in the Garden. It is a wonderful band sampler, the photo does not do it justice, the colors are luscious, there is no other way to put it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDOjghVc_ZQIa005gwjwbuYbJA7Z4RU0AJB8n5wrJOi_zL07a2WyUkMq3lyhDJl5us3pfcgD72y2G_NaMdb28z-mQ_usS-DNOq542NCDIjJ6aq4T97VrDfNmjB3MKvQi6FVZ7yA8rxpk/s1600/jn231-emma-eliza-400px.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDOjghVc_ZQIa005gwjwbuYbJA7Z4RU0AJB8n5wrJOi_zL07a2WyUkMq3lyhDJl5us3pfcgD72y2G_NaMdb28z-mQ_usS-DNOq542NCDIjJ6aq4T97VrDfNmjB3MKvQi6FVZ7yA8rxpk/s320/jn231-emma-eliza-400px.jpg" t8="true" width="191" /></a></div>I can't wait to see the next release, it is a Halloween theme.<br />
