Make it Pink

Heirloom worthy Cross Stitch designs

Hello, sugar covered marshmallow chickens!

I was hoping to save this newsletter as an "aha, I've finished my craft room!" with before and after photos, but I'm just shy of finished and I really need to get back to work. :) I hope to finish in the coming weekends, as I'm *so close* but... so far. At least for the most part I can reach all my materials now, even if they aren't all in their final organized homes!

​String Theory Needlearts has been working diligently to find Kreinik alternatives while Rainbow Gallery gets things managed (?) over there. They are making a conversion sheet between Kreinik, Rainbow Gallery, Glisten Gloss, and Radiance Metallics. They'll be sending me threads so I can also eyeball everything and make sure it's up to snuff. I will still be using Kreinik color codes in my designs - it's just easier on my program that way - but soon enough there should be a "master" conversion sheet that will help keep all our stitching moving along.

Related, String Theory Needlearts is starting to pack up specialty thread packs for USA customers for my patterns. Keep a look out!

Since I've been unpacking for a month there isn't a lot of pattern news, but I still found a little time for this WIP. :) This is Daisy from Hannah Alexander to pair with the new Rosalina (I'm saving Peach for last as motivation.)

As before, since I was unpacking I didn't finish my pattern work on Hanae Kariko's designs. They're still in waiting and I hope to release them both as a pack and as individuals. I also still have a good amount of Oval Designs from Sarah Young to chart.

And, since I didn't finish unpacking, I didn't get to re-evaluate the physical pieces I had up in the shop now that I've moved and inventory what's still in good condition, maybe take new photos, and get things back online. :) It seems very possible that those items may be listed on Etsy instead of my main site, to get more eyeballs on them.

Happy stitching!
