I am pretty sure I posted in January, where that post went I am not entirley sure! Weird! But then the website has had it's issues. We are rehauling it in the next couple of months, so look for changes to come.I also wanted to update you on the new and upcoming for the Nashville Needlework Market. I will try to post here but may have troubles so I think I will try to post it on facebook a first for me. I know I should use it more and I should make a JDD facebook page not just a 'me' page.... but it just always seems that the projects and events that I am part take precedence and there is not much time left over for sorting that all out. But it is a thing I must do.
I have 7 new patterns for release and if you are going to the Nashville Needlework Market then also 2 Nashville only specials.
I am excited to show you,so check back soon.
in stitching, jeannette
Christmas wishes .... continued....
We had a wonderful afternoon, it was just a pleasure to enjoy the company and relax with old friends. Thank you ladies for your lovely little hostess gifts I am enjoying each one!! Thank you Jane for sending the lovely flowers, they put them in the cutest container that has a penguin on the side, looks great. I have heard through the grapevine that "Take Time to Collect" is in the new issue of Just Cross Stitch Magazine. I hope you enjoy the new Take Time installment, it was with the thought in mind of our little needlework tool collections! I do have an embellishment pack so let me know if you need one! It has the wool, silk, accentuate and silver key charm in it.
The season always brings with it a time of reflection and I had some time for it myself. A time when I get to look back at how truly blessed I have been. It's been a year of where I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing stitchers and shop owners on creating their dream needlework events and stitched projects. I would love to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been a part of Jeannette Douglas Designs! I have truly been blessed by meeting every single one of you! I would love to extend a big thank you to stitchers who have helped make my dreams a reality with the continued existence of JDD. Your support of events across the continent brings added passion to the work I do everyday in this little office of my mine here in Calgary.
Thank you again,
jeannette
Merry Christmas! and a Happy New Year - 2012 here we come!
Tomorrow.... tomorrow the cruise gals are coming over for a visit and maybe even a stitch or two! I am so looking forward to seeing them all since the cruise seems like just too long ago! What a wonderful time we had. Now that I have had time to breathe and relax, well, really I have been a designing fiend, but nevertheless, still have had more time than I did and I can sort through my memories and pictures and enjoy them. I am baking cookies, listening to some Christmas music with the fireplace TV station! But yes, it has been a productive November running into December for me and I am thrilled. It's been so fun to design! It always seems like things are simmering on the back burner but I never get to go forward, lots of ideas but no time to put them to paper. Thankfully I finally had time. But I did get up to Edmonton to help move my daughter to a different apt. quite close in to the Whyte Ave area. After we had lugged many many boxes around - she is an English major and history minor - so books seem a prerequisite- we went to a lovely little place and had a very late dinner and shared a bottle of wine and talked and talked. I collapsed on the "foamy" and slept like I have never before. She has a lovely dear little apt. and I am happy if she is happy. My other daughter got her dream job at Mount Royal University as a graphic designer, we are so pleased for her...... and then when Jeannette gets to design.... all is well.
Did want want to wish you all the vey best in the new year -2012! already! Hope all is well and that you are enjoying some of the Christmas activities and will have some time to relax between Christmas and New Years and get some stitching done!
Merry Christmas,
Jeannette
