little bits of news

Monday morning has bustled everyone out the door. Sitting down here, I am tempted to have one more coffee in the sun and watch the backyard birds jockey for their spots on the feeder. A new pair of wrens yesterday had all of us hovering at the window.

But Monday is Monday. I'm working on a few new things in the studio - holiday fabric designs and a new stitch project for spring to summer. The studio itself is a wild wreck, but it's good to see some progress on everything. A tidy studio isn't really good for much except the invitation to start.

I've had a number of email requests for stores that carry my fabric collection, Walnut Hill Farm. It's only recently started shipping and I just linked to a list of current stores in the left sidebar. I'll try to keep the list updated as it changes.

Other news- I'm teaching two new classes at another Mary Engelbreit workshop in Saint Louis June 9 and 10. Details to come as the site goes live with the information in the next few days. 

Back to work on the stitch project. If it warms up, I might drag that chair outside and stitch in the sun this afternoon. Watching the birds will be perfect inspiration for the colors and stitching details.

Hi Charlotte,
Are any online retailers selling your fabric line? I looked over your list quickly and may have missed it, but wanted to double-check.

Sure would be nice to be with you in the sun, my friend!
I am impressed with your "stick-to-it-ness" on all of your projects. Your self-motivation is admirable. I need to dig a little deeper to find that in myself (!)

Talk soon? Can't wait to see all of your new goodies!

That is a lovely picture with the light streaming in just so. I agree with a clean studio being an invitation to start. I can't start unless my clean but during the playtime anything goes.

Yay! A new stitch project, can't wait!
