Just received word that the September/October 2010 Just Cross Stitch Issue is hitting mailboxes this week!!! yay! My design in the issue is called Día de los Muertos, which is Day of the Dead in Inglés! The Kit for the stuff to do it is posted here and for a short time on SALE!! (yay, sales!) as well as the past Just Cross Stitch ornament kits that we still have available.
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!
2pm ET is when it starts! There are lots of new monsterbubbles goodies so go check em’ out there! Plus page after page of stitching supplies, patterns, floss, fabric, buttons, charms…seriously, all the while sitting in the comforts of your own home. What more could a girl want?! http://www.needleworkshow.com/
I will update here again later when all the new stuff gets up here on my site. I want to give shops a chance to view and purchase first. IF you are in need of a great needlwork shop, email me, I have several wonderful suggestions.
What a great weekend! Needlework shopping, wonderful weather, and garden planting time! whoo HOO!

Mary-Heather Morgan Holland Daly, that’s me. Married an Irish man. We named our son, Myles Callahan Warclaw Daly after my Grandma Mary Madeline Callahan, and Tim’s great grandfather Warclaw Zarinski. Irish, Polish, Dutch, German…we are a melting pot. But for some reason, maybe it is the freckles, the Irish in me is quite abundant and ready to come out & play. My husband spent some time in Ireland just before we married and if he has it his way, we will all live there, for a time at least, at some point in our lives. SO, for all of you with smilin’ Irish eyes, I am having a little sale to let you save some of that GOLD!
17% off everything in the shop. EVERYTHING. NOW until Sunday March 21st. GROOVY?!
AND, if you are in the St Louis area I will be at the Lindbergh High School Rotary Show this weekend. IF you mention seeing this post, I will give you 17% off at the show too! HOPE I SEE YOU THERE!!
I adore watching the Olympics, summer, winter, doesn’t matter. Do I stitch when watching?! YES! There are few spans of time where I have a perfect excuse to plop down in front of the telly with a project and just that! My son and husband like watching too, so I don’t have to worry about them. The cats have even taken part in our viewing party. Bingo likes watching the figure skaters zip around the ice. I am pretty sure he is plotting his course for a catch!
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!
Check out the SALE section for some items that will be permently marked down, as well as everything in the store is 10% off! (until January 31st) Welcome to 2010 everyone!
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!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Then the holiday season is in full swing! Happens so fast. Doesn’t it?
Mail Lister’s, be watching your mailbox for a special holiday coupon!

More later. I simply wanted to share that I was thankful for each of you. Even the grumpy ones.
Today, I am a ninja. A stealth shipping, packing, designing, machine.
