Yeah printer issues solved...Part Two of On The Hill will be going out the door...this afternoon and over the next few days!!!
Thanks for your patience ~ L
Sad to say that I won't be there this year:(
I had to back out because I'm caring for my parents...
...and that is why It has been so quite here, too.
I'll miss all my friends in Building C...but plan to be back next year!
I've been still filling orders from the Website and Etsy Shop...
but the studio is not open for visitors at this time.

Silly me…I thought that being an empty nester would open up all sorts of time, ha!
The year is not off to the start I had hoped for…and I know that this will disappoint many of the “studio hookers”. I’m sorry, but as they say, “it is what it is”. I’ve come to terms with that and most days am dealing with the chaos quite well.
You will find the studio calendar button on the bottom of the left side bar of the webpage,
or on mid way down on the right side bar of this blog.
Once you get there you'll see this...
Events will also be posted on the Facebook Studio Page. There are links to sign up to reserve a chair for open studio days on the calendar. Using the sign up sheets makes it much easier for me to know how to plan. If you are having trouble email me. ♥ ~ Laurie
Good Saturday Evening,
I've been distracted this evening...
in a good way;)
Lori Brechlin started a new group on FaceBook for Hand Embroidery
something I've loved from a very early age...
click the link above and ask to join if embroidery is something you enjoy, too.
this is the first piece I stitched when Mom handed me a needle and thread at age 5
In the early 70's I'd embroider on anything and everything!
These days my work most often involves wool...
Okay...back to work...
thanks for visiting and allowing me to share the good ole days with you!

Dear Friends, Family and Customers...Thanks for your patience during my absence caring for my parents...
I'm catching up on orders and enjoying time back in the studio!
Laurie ~ 1-13-15
I started this post a few days ago...but the days still seem to get away from me!
I want to thank everyone for your comments, emails and well wishes for my Dad and Mom and I'm sorry I haven't responded personally.
It has been an incredibly stressful time...but also a blessing in many ways...they are amazing people.
I'm so lucky to still have them and am glad that I can help them now as they have always been "there" for me.
After 63 years of marriage, they are kind of a package deal...and they each do best when they are together.
The angels at Living Life Home Care have really saved me. Dad still has a way to go to get back to normal and I'm still there many days a week...but I'm happy to sleep in my own bed again!
After being away for nearly a month...the dust bunnies here are really scary;)
I'm almost caught up on orders now and my next priority is getting the Part One kits of the 2015 Rug Project finished and in the mail.
I still need to dye the border wool...but hopefully the kits will be in the mail by the end of next week!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Laurie
