Stitch therapy awaits! If you can: sew basic hand Stitch therapy awaits! If you can: sew basic hand stitches, print stuff, cut stuff, and glue stuff, then you are ready to get started. And because of the *magic* of Sulky Stick ’n Stitch, you simply embroider and cut on the printed lines. My Twelve Days series is a great primer. It starts out beginner-friendly and gets more complex as you sew your way through the series in order. By the time you finish pattern no. 12 you’ll be an ornament makin’ rockstar. mmmcrafts.com > Get Started for more info on your new hobby.

THANK YOU very much to all you wonderful mmmakers THANK YOU very much to all you wonderful mmmakers who made my annual Etsy sale a success! (Pardon Mr Scrooge, he's always grumpy.) Y'all have a lot of fun projects to work on. Now get stitchin'! I can just see you out there, in comfy chairs with cups of hot coffee (OK or tea) and Christmas movies on, just mmmakin' away! Love to see what you make. 
On my desk is Cap & Gown (workin' as fast as I can!) and I'm also having to replace some very bedraggled wreath bows for my house. And I finally have both my flocked trees up and decorated, so progress is being made! Twinkle lights make everything better when it gets dark at 6pm. 
Happy sewing to you, and I wish you a very merry, bright, and craft-filled Christmas!
