HOPE you like it. My favorite design is often the one I am currently working on…however, there are exceptions. ”johnnyAppleseed”, ”tempest”, “outsideBox”,  “lizzieBorden” & “mele kalikimaka” still hold places in my favorites even though I did them long ago, AS does this one. I adore it even though I have moved on to designing new and different things!

Enjoy the issue! Many darling designs & never enough time to stitch them all. You can still be a collector though!

This week I have been felting, and listing some of my stash threads on etsy. IF you pop over to www.ETSY.com/monsterbubbles you will find hand dyed 6 strand threads from now defunct companies that I put up for sale. Lovely threads, but if I designed with it, you guys would revolt en mass! Seriously. SO, I give them up to make room for new threads from The Gentle Art, Thread Gatherer, Crescent Colors, Kreinik, and Weeks. IF I make anything worthy in felt I will post pictures next time around. I am thinking I will expieriment & make a cover for my netbook. 

It is Nashville time too! I am as excited as you are to see the new stuff. Look for new monsterbubbles stuff @ the time of the ONLINE NEEDLEWORK SHOW.

Until next time; sit & stitch and try not too throw your needle in the air when Apollo Ono wins his next short track race! Those races make me wanna jump up and down and scream! And I am NOT that passionate sports fan. He & the nature of the short track speed skate race bring out my inner fanatic~! GO APOLLO!

If you are like a lot of the country, today your are buried in snow. The likes that we haven’t seen since we have been back in Illinois! I don’t mind it much as long as I am inside, stitching, or beadweaving. Today, I may do some felting. Though having my hands wet all day doesn’t sound very warm…Either way I plan to do some sort of stitchy thing all the while entertaining a 5 year old, and feeding my cute husband, in between their jaunts in the snow. And fun was had by all!

What do you do on a snowday?!

Until next time stay warm, protect those hands from the elements!
