Stitch Graffiti is here!

The book has 28 designs, all bright and funky many different sizes, plus great ideas for finishing. This is not your everyday cross stitch book that is for sure. I know you are going to love it. Available now from Amazon.com!

Order here NOW!

You are now able to place orders here at this site! This is for the convenience of both my wholesale and retail shoppers! very (very) exciting. I receive so many emails asking "where can I get your patterns?" that it was time to let you shop here! I do believe we should all support our local shops. I have found, however, that there are many, many more Stitchers out there, like myself, who do not have a local shop to support. If you would like to find a shop near you, an online store, or even a brick and mortar shop that does a great mail order via 800# business let me know and I can help you find it So, feel free to shop until you drop! Every order will get one free surprise! If you are a shop please contact me for your wholesale order information.

I have finally compiled a list of all the places that you can see, or hear about monsterbubbles such as Magazines, Podcasts, TV shows. It has become a rather impressive list. I was amazed! Have a look!

Nashville Needlework Market

Nashville needle work market is upon us. Tell your shop owners to stop by monsterbubbles room #411 to pick up the kits that will be exclusive to the shops who attend Nashville only. Limited quantity so tell them to get there early! Lots of other fun stuff too scissor fobs, funky reading glassed on hip beaded necklaces. Not your old lady reading glasses, I can assure you Since I too have realized the benefits (and need) of the reading glassed to aid and in seeing my beloved 35 count linen, I have been on a hunt for all the fun glasses that I could find! MIX that with my love for jewelry making and Viola! Beautiful, funky, useful, fashionable, colorful, reading glasses are born. EyeGlass Candy, if you will. You will need some for sure. I will update you here an Post Nashville news and thoughts, so check back in a few weeks.

TNNA Long Beach wrap up

Interweave Press along with Unicorn Books was kind enough to sponsor a book signing during the big TNNA show in Long Beach a few weeks ago. I was stunned at all the folks who were standing in line to get one of my books. Stunned. oh, and excited... but that excitement really started as nerves. I honestly was fearful that no one would show up, and there I would be sitting, doodling in one of my books, alone. Plus I was completely freaked out that I was going to mis-spell, um... miss spell, ?!?!, (see?!) everything. Probably, I did at some point but the whole thing went much more smoothly as I had imagined. Big thanks to Laura and the folks at Unicorn and Interweave Press for letting me hang out there, and meet like minded crafty souls.

The market, as always, is a yarn lover's heaven. The fibers that are at this market are vast and varied enough to make any needle artists head spin. There were more folks there weaving and promoting their weaving gear than I have ever seen, and needle felting still seems to be getting hotter and hotter. Unfortunately there were very few counted thread vendors there or shops for that matter. Patty from SamSarah and Just Another Button Company was there, as was Cross Eyed Kat, and Jen from Funk and Webber, plus embroidery queen Jenny Hart and her cool sidekick Mary, as well as Sharon from Crescent Colours... all gals I have come to love and adore. I believe they were all a bit disappointed by the lack of traffic they were seeing in their booths. Maybe you can help.
