Thanks to all of you who sent me an email about Needles the Bear and the Vintage Valentine pattern. The copies of the pattern that I had in my possession are now sold out but I still have a few Needles left. Let me know if you'd like one. I'm getting closer to my surprise ~ hopefully in the next week or so. Stay tuned...

Other news here is that my hubby finally gave in to my Christmas wish and went with me to Menard's last weekend. The built-in bookshelves surrounding the window in my studio have been completed!! I've finally gotten the fabric bolts and books put on the shelves and now I'm working on placing my vintage sewing machines up above. He also installed wire linen shelving around the perimeter of the room near the ceiling for box storage, extra fabric storage, etc. I will post pictures SOON...although at this point, it's still such a mess you can't even see the floor!!! I am trying to purge as I'm rearranging and putting things back away.

We're heading out for the weekend with some friends...hope you all have a great one!
