DMC & Buttons

 

We've got the DMC & button colors picked out for our newest design. Love these colors together. Now just have to get this thing stitched.

Retro Spots preview

 

Here's a preview of our newest design called Retro Spots. When Mike designed this, it originally started out as garden spots. I thought the design looked sort of retro so we picked out retro colors-turquoise, orange, brown, and white and went with that. As you can see it's not quite have way finished. Each square takes about 4 hours to stitch so I still have a bit of stitching to do.

June Vacation

I know it's been a while since we posted anything. June was a very busy month for us after taking off 10 days for a vacation.

 

The vacation was wonderful. We got to spend it with family in North Carolina on the Outter Banks. (keep an eye out for some beach/ocean patterns :0) I had only been to the ocean twice before. Once was just a quick stop on a mission trip...not long enough to swim. The 2nd was with my sister and a friend in April...to cold to swim. So this time it was nice and warm and we were there for an entire week so I finally got to swim in the ocean!

We stopped at the North Carolina Aquarium. It was much nicer to see the sharks from behind glass then out in person out in the ocean.

Mike, his dad & mom took a plane ride over the islands. I passed on the plane rid but he got some good pictures and that was good enough for me :)

One of the last evening we went to an outdoor drama Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Island called The Last Colony. It was absolutely amazing and ended up being one of my favorite parts of the trip.

 Now we're back at work designing some new patterns. I'll try and post a few previews the next couple a days.
