I had to find a new printing partner and re-add ALL of my printed items. I also added a few new designs. It's taken longer than I had wanted. I'm hoping that I can get back to sewing this week.
Come check everything out! I also tried to make the site more user friendly.

A downside to #printondemand services. Pics sent to me from a customer today... Support ticket already sent in to #gooten about it.
I'm really surprised they sent this one out. 😬

Back to the "drawing board" for the messenger bag I'm working on. Some of the moons didn't seem right. The "new moon" feels it's just going to POP right out because the stitches just seem too close together.

I made some new free standing lace cross bookmarks and this time I used variegated thread. I really like how these came out and they'll be on the site soon... they are proving quite difficult to photograph.

The bobbin saga continues but in different ways today. This is the THIRD time this has happened today. 🙄
Think I figured it out, though.

Nothing seems to be going right today... the first beanie got messed up bc the foot got caught on a jump stitch, and then this one and it now also has a hole.
Tears of frustration don't want to stop and just keep wondering why I bother...

It was time for the annual visit from our "resident" black bear. Minimal damage this time w/ just a tipped trash can, which was mostly empty and we took the bird feeders down bc we had been expecting him/her.

I know a lot of people have issues with buying stuff that's #POD, mainly because of quality issues. We use a POD service called #gooten and so far, we've had no issues with any of the "samples" that we've purchased.
If we don't like it, we don't offer it.
Here are some #notebooks available!

Made what is most likely my last #Joann purchase today. Our "local" store is pretty much bare, but I found these and got my mom some needle threaders. I almost walked out with a shopping cart bc they're selling those, too....
It just makes me so damn sad... 😭😭
