I love going to the trade shows.  But I sure am happy to be home.  It was a fun, exciting and exhausting weekend.  Aggie, Nancy and I found so many awesome new canvases.  I don’t know which I’ll stitch first when they start pouring into the shop.

We collaborated with some designers and have some big things planned for this year.  For me, this is the most important reason to go to market.  It’s like a family reunion.  I can view the canvases online, just like all of you, but I go to bring back something to all of you that isn’t out there for everyone.  It’s so important to get to know people, and for them to get to know me.  Having a few cocktails and a great dinner doesn’t hurt either!

I can’t say much about what’s brewing right now.  But what I can tell you is that I put my head together with Ewe & Eye, Maggie, Leigh, Melissa Prince, Alice Peterson, and probably a few others I can’t recall right now.  Jet lag and taking the red eye on Monday night is not a pleasant experience. Tends to make the mind a little fuzzy. LOL!

We brought back some new designs that were available for cash and carry.  I’ll be posting those as soon as unpack and get myself together.

I can’t wait for the next show!
