Wood Christmas Ornament Make and Take

I intended to write this email last week, at the beginning of July, but as always, there are just too many things happening, and somehow it’s already July 9th! So, happy belated 4th of July, and here’s what’s happening this month in the shop and online….

In an effort to be more organized, I got this schedule put together for the month, and managed to get it up on social media. The hope is to do this each month, AND to get the info to you here by email as well!

EMBROIDERY CLASSES:

Join us in the shop to learn wood embroidery stitches and create your own lovely wood embroidery sign. And this month, instead of pre-registration, we’re offering “choose from the in-stock kits”. We are still building our stock, so if you know for sure what you want to make, just shoot me an email, so I can be sure we have it 

in-stock.

This kit/class includes:

• A pre-printed wood sign, with holes, ready to embroider.
• High-quality embroidery floss 
• Embroidery needle
• Easy-to-follow instructions
• Felt backing for a finished look

WHEN: TUESDAY July 9th (that’s today) at 6:30 p.m., and SATURDAY, July 13th, at 10:30 a.m.

If you aren’t local, check out the embroidery page on the website to get a kit shipped to you! We’ve also added a couple of PARTY PACKS, so if you want to start your own embroidery circle in your location, you can get five kits at a reduced rate. 

SIDEWALK SALES

We’ll be participating in the Sidewalk Sales on July 20th, starting at 9 a.m., with a variety of our in store items on sale for one day only. If you’re local, we’d love to see you!

PAINT PARTIES

We’ve scheduled two paint parties for July – TUESDAY, July 23rd at 6:30 p.m. and SATURDAY, July 27th at 10:30 a.m. We are going to try the “choose from the in-stock kits” idea for the paint parties too! We have a variety of kits ranging from $10 to $35 each. Come see what’s on the shelf and get painting! No registration required.

MORE WOOD EMBROIDERY

Because I can’t stop making new wood embroidery items, I’ve added a few new wood embroidery kits to the website, and we’re adding to our in store stock. This one is going to be a beautiful daisy floral sign, and at 5 inches round, a smaller but lovely piece. You can order the kit here.

EMBROIDERY OF THE MONTH CLUB

AND, because I am so excited about what we’re doing with wood (and now paper) embroidery, I decided to start an EMBROIDERY CLUB!

This is a monthly subscription and you’ll get a new wood (or paper!) embroidery kit every month.

So, here’s the extra fun part – if you’re local, you can join me in the shop each month and embroider during a monthly Embroidery Together event. For those of you that are not close enough to join in at the shop – I’m working on an online / live plan where we can still embroider together, even from a distance!! This will probably be by Zoom, but I’m still working on details!

Sound like something you’d like to try? Get your first month’s kit shipped (or pick-up) on July 15th. The Embroidery Together events will start in August, and I’ll have dates/details very soon.

I really hope you’ll join me in monthly embroidering together! I am having so much fun designing and creating with wood (and paper) embroidery, and I can’t wait for you to see what’s coming. This hobby is probably the best way I’ve found to relax in a LONG time.

The subscription is $28/month, and includes shipping. You can join the monthly membership here

I said this last month, but I’ll say it again…yes, I know I’ve been more than a little obsessed with the embroidery… but don’t worry – we still have LOTS of other kits and crafting options available in the shop and online, if you just aren’t interested in this amazing, fun, relaxing new hobby of wood embroidery! 🙂
