​

I spent a few days in bed (sick) this week. I kept up with my e-mail, but haven't packed orders for two days. Thanks for your patience!

​

This weekend we are expecting a big snowstorm. Steve and I are going to run out today to get some storm snacks. My dad always used to run to Hornbacher's ahead of a storm to get a few brown paper bags full of soda, chips, Oreos, licorice, and other treats. Growing up, sometimes a big snowstorm meant we would have a day or two off of school, which always felt amazing! I can still feel in the pit of my stomach the sensation of listening to the radio station and waiting, hoping, praying that school was cancelled!

​

Market preparations are going great! I've packed over 1,000 charts so far, but have thousands more to go. The covers and charts look really great, in my opinion. Still a few models to go, but that's all under control.

​

Not much else new here -- oh, except the Pop-Up Event I'm hosting with five new friends from the area. There is so much creativity here in Pennsylvania (and New Jersey, and Delaware, etc.) I've invited these friends to host a pop-up shop event with me NEXT Saturday, January 31st, from 10-3 here in Macungie (we are "connected" to Allentown.) It's going to be such a great mix of fabric, charts, threads, doo-dad's, pin sets, project bags, and what-nots. I get the bug now and then to open a shop, which really isn't feasible for a one-man show like mine. This will satisfy that itch, and let local stitchers have a fun shopping experience close to home!
