Sandy's Stitching

 WHAT SEASON IS THIS?

Oh, I live in Kentucky.  We don't go by seasons - lol.  We jump from 33 one evening and wake up to 73 next morning. Right now it is 65 degrees, sun shining beautifully but the wind could blow you off guard if you don't pay attention!  But at least it isn't raining as it has been here the last few days.  Some areas are flooded - always so sad.

Hubby got his first brace this week.  It goes from the bottom of his foot up to past his knee.  He is adjusting well to it.  He is wearing it in daily increased increments of 1 hour until he is able to wear it all waking hours.  I'm glad he is not struggling with it.  His biggest challenge is getting his heel into the shoe.  Now, yes, I could help and do that for him but I refuse to do so.  I told him he needs to figure it out and that it will get easier each passing day.  I need to be careful as I do not want him to become totally dependent!

Spring is in the air!  Yes, even for me I can get Spring fever.  I am going through bolts of canvases and trying to decide what I will actually use and what needs to be used by someone else!  LOL. This is hard for me because I love it all!

ONLINE CLASSES

I love working on future lessons and trying to stay ahead of my next posting.  This week I am a little challenged as I am not seeing as well as normal.  But who knows, this might be my new normal.  Getting time for my visit to the doctor I suppose.

In the meanwhile, registration continues for the next classes.

The lovely Ornaments Galore offer us so many possibilities.  My brain goes crazy just looking at all the different techniques that we could utilize.

Those of you taking the Sea Shells and Chinese Lanterns class with us can get a pretty good idea of what some of the possibilities are.  But never fear, there will be some surprises along the way too.

Email us if you would like to participate in this 10-session class set to begin mid-May.  Duodesignsinc@gmail.com for registering.  There is $150 deposit and the. 10-Session lesson fee is $300.

Also in the registration phase is the Encore for Three Wisemen.  This finished piece was so well received that there were enough requests to warrant offering it again.

This 8-Session repeat is slated to begin in mid-June.  If you would like to join us just email to duodesignsinc@gmail.com to get onboard!

NEEDLES 'N FINS STITCHING ADVENTURES - Join the Group

As soon as our suitcases get unpacked, it will be time to do laundry and repack.  Our fabulous Greece Island Stitching Cruise is in October 11-23, 2023.

Our travel agent is in Greece on this sister cruise now so she should be prepared for most anything that we imagine! We are so excited as we continually send out brochures as requested.

I love the itinerary - look at all the islands we will visit - and I especially love that we will visit Venice once again. So, Italy, Greece and Turkey all in one swoop!

Email to get your brochure at duodesignsinc@gmail.com.  We'd love to have you join us!
