Hopping Away Winter Doldrums

If your mood is as cold and dark as your landscape, your creative abilities are probably in a seasonal slump also. Madame Samm has a great remedy for us...two upcoming blog hops.       

 First: 

Brooke Nolan  is a wonderful illustrator and designer of stitchery.  She has created four vintage designs to choose from and stitch onto one side of a lovely Tammy Bag.  The Tammy Bag pattern is a Madame Samm design.  

For the back of the Tammy Bag, Cori Blunt has designed four patterns for pinnies to hold all your small stitching notions.  Cori is an excellent appliqué artist who will also show you how to make box pleats and embroidery.  

Join the fun!  Click on the Tammy 4 all Seasons on my sidebar or contact Mary for more information.  She is our Cheerleader for this Hop.

And another chance to chase away the Winter Blues: 




We all have had friends or family touched by cancer and  have  wanted to offer support in some way to help ease their journey.  All cancers are devastating, but as women, I think we feel a closer bond to those battling breast cancer.  This blog hop is a chance to let all those in your circle know that you are supporting the fight against cancer.  

You can get all the information on this blog hop by clicking on the "We Support You" button on my side bar.
