Almost time for Thanksgiving… November 17, 2009

but you can give thanks everyday!! 

Anyways!!  I’ve been working hard stitching lately.  I did finish stitching the last of the blue mini-bookmarks, so I just need to put the backings on.  YEA!!  I have 15 green mini-bookmarks to finish by Jan/Feb (pray and keep your fingers crossed).  Also, my charts at www.patternsonline.com are selling well, but I’d LOVE for some more to be purchased!!

I’ve started stitching on the 1st of the 5 newest bookmarks and its coming along quite nicely.  SO needed a break from the minis.  Got REALLY tired of looking at that chart!!  LOL.  Gotta get these 5 done before Christmas, so I’m stitching every chance I get.

Next week is our youngest son’s 7th bday (WOW!!) and Thanksgiving, so it’ll be a crazy, but fun, week.

Well, I’ve gotten all my networking/biz stuff done for today, so I think its time to get some stitching done.  Wish me luck!!

2yr Blog Anniversary!! November 8, 2009

Today marks 2yrs that I’ve had a blog describing my adventure of starting Coat Closet Designs!!  YEA!! 

Took some time to look at the archives and you can REALLY see how God has been working w/me in what He’s called me to do.  Pretty amazing stuff.

I’ve completed the zombie bookmark-a picture’s coming, I promise.  I also have another order for 5 bookmarks that I hope to finish before Xmas!!  My patterns are selling OK on www.patternsonline.com .  Not as many are selling since I’m not listed on the front page anymore.    Guess I’ll just keeping trying to send people there and see what God will do.  Got alot of ideas to try out, but kinda hard w/having the orders that I NEED to complete first, but that’s ok.  I’m planning to sign up for a bookmark finishing class and learn some new techniques to make my bookmarks better-Guess I’d better do that now while I’m thinking about it. 

Off to sign up for class, finish designing that last bookmark and start planning out the stitching aspect!!
