at the upcoming
new pattern release,
Pictured is the "Thimble Box" project from the chart.
The pattern will include patterns
for
6 sweet, love-themed cross stitch projects
that just hint
Valentines
and are suitable
for keeping out year-round.
All for the price of $12.00.
One payment,
6 patterns in one,
and no club to join...
so everyone
can take in the fun
of re-purposing their spent
Valentines
candy boxes.
Are your chocolates gone yet?
My story....
After purchasing
my two boxes of Russell Stover's
heart sampler chocolates,
I broke into the small heart box first...
just because it was so small,
and so cute...
just 3 pieces of candy.
Inside was a milk chocolate caramel (love these),
a coconut haystack (love those, too),
and some other creme-filled candy
that I'm not too fond of.
I opted for the coconut haystack first,
saving the caramel
for the next morning
to have with my morning coffee.....mmmmmm.
That takes a lot of discipline,
you know...
saving a piece of candy
until the next day.
Woke up,
filled my coffee cup up,
and off to find my little box of chocolates,
specifically thee caramel...
no caramel.
Thee caramel is gone!
So thoughtful of him
to leave me the creme-filled candy...
I think I might have said a naughty word...
The dh beat me to my caramel,
how dare him!
Now,
dh usually stands for "dear husband",
but,
when he starts messing with my caramels,
I'm thinking
the d
in dh
could stand for something else........
you can be the judge!
Have a good weekend,
Brenda
So beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Can't wait to see the whole pattern. We had so much fun with your 2012 pattern at our camp last year... stitching and making the box. Thanks for all the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh I must have this!
ReplyDeleteShame on him! You're gonna have to hide those yummies in the future. Okay, I now have both boxes (just got the 4.75 oz today -- haven't eaten that one yet), got the three paints, all I need is the pattern, and I really really like what you've shown so far!
ReplyDeleteSnickering at your story..... Love the design too.... A soon to be purchase!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the design!
ReplyDeleteYour DH and my DH have alot in common, lol.
I've been waiting to see what you came up . I love it! Mona and peaceandquilts @gmail.com
ReplyDeleteso pretty x
ReplyDeleteCute story! Gave me an early morning chuckle. The pattern is sweet! I cant wait to see the rest!
ReplyDeleteOkay.... confession time! I too purchased 2 boxes (one for me - one for my sister). I ate all 3 pieces at one time! I just couldn't STOP!! I even LOVED the little creme filled one. Then - next day - I ate he other 3 pieces from my sister's box. (please don't share this with her) This is simply why I CANNOT have candy in the house! (shame on that man of yours!)
ReplyDeleteI love this -- and I purchased an extra small box. But had to eat the chocolates in both -- can't paint them with the chocolates in there! Haven't found the 4.75 yet but need to try some place other than our Wal-Mart. Look so forward to this project.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! More peeks, please. You may need to by that DH a box of his own...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait. Got my chocolates gone already with help from my dh. I entered my two other hearts in a contest n
ReplyDeleteIt would most definitely stand for something else in my book. Your stitchery is beautiful. Next time be sure and hide the box.
ReplyDeleteThe new pattern looks and sounds delightful. I think your dh owes you a new box with a carmel in it. At least it is worth a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your Valentines again this year. You're the only designer that makes eating chocolate necessary to stitch your design. <3 I hope you have info on the loops around the heart too.
ReplyDeleteHow is everyone figuring out what size box(es) to purchase? I can just see me buying one of every size, and then of course the chocolates *can't* be thrown away!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new sneak peek.
