WIP Pics

Ok, some updates. I have some new pics for Faces Luna(HAED), SK Mermaid(HAED), and then two others. Hummingbird, from Candamar, 14ct ivory. When I do the better pics, it will be listed for sale, as the stitching is finished. http://theblushinrose.artfire.com/ Also Frog Pile from Design Works, also 14ct, white. It's about half way finished. That will have to do you for pictures for a while, like Sept.

And I am doing the SK Light of the World for the new SAL, but haven't started it yet. I really think I need to get the Mermaid finished first. We'll see.

HAED Sale

Ok, this time I'm on top of it. HAED 4th of July sale on now, 25% off through 7/6. Have you seen some of those Nene Thomas charts out now?? Wow, those sure are pretty, and stirring lots of interest.


Some of those matte crystals are up already.

HAED Father's Day Sale

Not meaning to slight anyone, so still a few hours to take advantage of that Father's Day sale at HAED, ends tonight!

Just back from vacation, lots of changes. Pretty good trip, but always seems too busy. We have picked a house, already, quicker than we expected. We'll see if that's the one we can get. If so, we could be moving to FL in Sept. Also, the real world job I had has pretty much disappeared, got that news while on vacation, too. So I have some pressure now to make this craft stuff activity step up quite a bit.

I also bought just a few little sets of Swarovski crystals, to frost. So you will see some of those up on Artfire too, just as soon as I can do them. (TheBlushinRose) Have done some stitching on Faces, should be able to post a WIP pic, and some other stitching on smaller pieces that will also be up on Artfire.

July SK SAL

So is everybody signed up for the HAED July SK SAL??? Time is running out! I picked Light of the World, a lovely angel. Again, not exactly my type, but it just jumped out at me from the other selections. I will post pictures as I get started next month, and I should have an update on at least Faces Luna since I have it with me, perhaps even a little on the SK Mermaid.

And yes, I am on vacation. (Yay!) Much needed. Having a pretty good time, but still not getting much cross stitch in right now. Some, and anything is progress, right?

When I get back, I hope to place a small order with Golden Kite for some charts to list. I don't get as much of a discount as I do with HAED, but I'd like to get a few. So requests, please! (I do take requests without the requirement of purchasing. It will be listed on the website for you, or anyone else, to purchase at their leisure.) Otherwise, I may just order from HAED instead for now, I've seen some lovely charts released lately. You may request a purchase directly from me (email me at artistsforhire on yahoo, or twitter) or I will list them over on my Artfire site. http://TheBlushinRose.artfire.com For HAED, I generally order the Large Format charts, and then it's 15% off that price--direct purchase or on my website. When I get the Golden Kite ones, I think it will be 15% off as well(plus any new release discount they may be offering still).

Happy stitching everyone!

HAED Memorial Day Sale

Don't forget, HAED is having a Memorial Day Sale on their cross stitch charts; 25% off through 5/25!

After Vacation

So I am going on vacation soon, a pivotal point(one of) in time this year. I've been holding off moving the real business end of things forward until after I get back. Not like I don't always have a million things to do anyway, and it's a much needed vacation to FL to check future living arrangements out, but it's a nagging thing that I am somewhat on pause.

I expect to be on pause again when we actually do an extended move later on this year, so even ramping things up over the summer feels like it will be kind of a false start! I do have financial and personal needs towards getting things going, so you should be seeing some actual progress in the coming months, but again, until the move is complete(Dec?) and I know where all my things are, I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs.

Well, more like stitching furiously. I've taken a break from the HAED projects lately, other things have been really pressing, and those take a great deal of focus and huge amount of time. I will be taking Faces with me on vacation though. I have still been cross stitching, on a Design Works kit call Frog Pile. Very cute http://www.abullrun.com/2599.html . I hope to have it done before vacation to list for sale so there is one up there.

Golden Kite added!

I got approved this week to also be a reseller for Golden Kite cross stitch patterns as well! Yay, that took a little while to get the approval, but I am glad I have it now. Those will also be offered at a discount on my sitehttp://TheBlushinRose.artfire.com when I can get an order together. Please let me know if you are eyeing anything from GK, I'd be happy to stock and list them.


Heaven and Earth Designs is also in swing for their Mother's Day sale, 25% off through 5/9/10.


Still working on my Frog Pile cross stitch, should have it finished soon I hope. Haven't touched the HAED SK Mermaid or Faces while working on the frogs....
