I hope all of you had a nice Christmas. We certainly did here.....my grandsons were happy with their gifts...as they always are...they are such great guys. They grow up way too fast....I got them when they were 5 and 8 and it seems like it was so long ago.....they are now 16 and 19 and such nice young men. I have so many memories from when they were little and some of my favorite times were when they still believed in Santa.
I hope Santa was good to all of you. Santa Nancy is still very busy sending out the Ornament Collection charts to the last day winners. The emails have eased up a bit and I can keep up with them today. Thank goodness!!
I will take off running on the 1st as I have so many new projects planned for next year. Lots of mini kits that will have the chart, fabrics, floss, buttons or charms. Everything included to make an ornament, pillow, etc.(and of course we will give some away each month!). I had dyed lots of new floss colors just before Christmas and will continue for the next couple weeks. I am dyeing fabrics for the kits and am buying backing fabrics and over dyeing them. The dye pot will be very busy in the new year! After I finish this next round of dyed floss, I will have dyed 330,000 yards of floss in the past few weeks.....and if you don't think that is a lot...take the time to tie it on cards 20 yards at a time!
I hope we all get a little rest before we start into this quickly approaching new year.....
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
Nancy

Wow--my head is spinning! When do you sleep???

Nancy, thanks so much for the wonderful final giveaway designs. You are such a generous person. I received some of your floss from an exchange and I can't wait to use it to stitch with. Also I think your floss is such a good value for 20yds. Glad you are blessed with the grandsons. And so happy for you that you had a merry Christmas. Here in Indiana we had a blizzard this morning and now we have nearly two feet of snow! Its great stitching weather though I slept most of the day. Aren't naps the best:-) sounds like you are in need of one with all the work you've done. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteThe snow missed us this Christmas....so disappointing....I really wanted to make a snow man once more with the boys. And as for a nap...I could use a looooooong one!
ReplyDeleteA little late in my visit - please forgive - but hoping you and yours had a blessed Christmas....Thank you again, for all the joy you've given. I finally got to posting my wonderful linen, floss and charms on my blog.... You are a treasure and then some dear Nancy.... Smiles & Best Christmas Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you had a nice Christmas...we got a dusting of snow here in Northern NJ & my 21yo DD thinks it may have been her first 'white' Christmas..then yesterday we got hit with a Nor'easter...too bad it hit over Christmas break my kids say...lol. I'm looking forward to the new year and seeing your kits. Thank you again for your never-ending generosity.
ReplyDeleteSmiles, DianeM
We also had a lovely Christmas. Ohh you dyed a lot of threads, can´t wait to see the new colors !!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing time! Thanks so much for your generosity through the season! Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a truly lovely Christmas at your house! We had a wonderful one as well. Thank you for making the holiday season so very special for so many. I wasn't one of the lucky winners but I have been in the past and I had so much fun seeing so many others benefit from your generosity. Thank you for the offer of your ornament collection but I will decline since I already have won a copy in the past.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing all that the new year brings with those lovely new floss, etc. Happy New Year!
I agree that children grow up to fast and the saddest part of Christmas this year, for our house, was that there was no magic as the boys are all too big to believe. We still had a great time and enjoyed being together and opening our gifts. Thank you for all the wonderful goodies you produce.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed your Christmas - Thank you for making our extra special this year !!!!
ReplyDeleteNancy--you did a wonderful thing, with your giveaways, this Christmas! I am sure the cross stitch blogland appreciates you! I know I do! Your floss and embellishments are wonderful and so many lovely patterns! Hope the New Year is a good one for you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you fir the wonderful threads. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI came to wish you a Happy New Year !!
