And the weeks disappear
I always intend to blog more often but I'm always too busy doing something else. So what has happened lately?
Our Green Cards were approved. My husband and I are now official permanent residents of the USA. No more leaving the country every 2 years to renew our visas. It also means that my husband isn't tied to working for the company who sponsored our visas. If a better job comes along, and they will, he can accept it if he wants to.
I am now distributing for Judith Tuttle from Twisted Oaks designs. I'll have stocks of all Judith's new designs for your LNS to purchase.
Janie and I are releasing a Christmas Collaboration pack next month. No photos yet, but there will be an ornament design from each of us as well as the silks needed to stitch both designs.
I guess the big news is that Dinky-Dyes will have been in business for 5 years this October. I have been working with Kirsten from The Gift of Stitching, who I also represent here in the US, on a special promotion in her magazine. It all started this month with the announcement of a design competition for magazine subscribers.
The prizes include a full set of Dinky-Dyes silks as well as charts, fabric and threads donated by my friends in the needlework industry. Total of all the prizes is around $1000 so well worth entering.
If you are a subscriber of The Gift of Stitching, get designing. If you don't have a subscription, why not? You are missing out on a great magazine, some fantastic upcoming designs and some wonderful happenings over the next 3 months.
Ask your local Needlework Shop if they sell subscriptions for The Gift of Stitching Magazine and if not, ask them to contact me so we can get you in on all the fun.

Yay! Good news all around :) ANd the time does just zip by, doesn't it?!
Or people could just do what I did and sign up on line for The Gift of Stitching. The first mag I have ever had where there is always something I want to stich.
Welcome permanently to the US! We're permanently glad and lucky to have you.
You should know, a skein of 123 Luna Park is hung permanently by my desk. The colors make me smile every time I look at them. The skein draws me to my desk and work. I'm contemplating a whole series of patterns based on 123 Luna Park!
