Snow, snow go away
Are you tired of looking at snow and ice and feeling freezing temps? How about a virtual trip to the beach through the eyes of Melissa Shirley and the stitches of Brenda Hart.

Snow is on my mind…..
Gee, wonder why? Could it be the 9 inches outside my door and the 11 degree temps? In keeping with the theme, here’s our latest canvas/stitch guide combo. Thanks to the oh-so-talented Brenda Hart we have a stitch guide for Ewe & Eye’s Candy Rush. If this is on your one day list, let […]
