As we launch ourselves headfirst into 2008 I know that many of you are
huddled indoors escaping the cold and the record breaking snow that is
hitting many areas with a vengeance! My advice? - Stay inside, stitch and
stay warm!
They say the older you get the faster time flies - and boy is that true!
Before you know it we'll be packing up to head to the February NMI Show in
Nashville, TN. This show attracts buyers from every state in our nation as
well as from all across the globe. Each year this show grows larger and more
international buyers attend. How exciting to share the love of needlework
on an world-wide basis!
While you're all snuggled up and cozy we've been busy updating our website
and we have just posted some great new designs for early Spring 2008.
They're all available for you to see right here in a quick little slide show
- something to tempt you to look further!

We start our new additions for 2008 by bringing you a brand new series for a
brand new year - a series of BISCORNU KITS. They're VERY trendy!
terrifically popular and just plain cute with their quirky shapes. Each kit
in this series will coordinate with one of The Sweetheart Tree's best
selling decorative scissor fobs - The first two are "CHERRY BLOSSOMS
BISCORNU" matching Cherry Blossoms Fob and "RHODES BUTTERFLY BISCORNU
matching Rhodes Butterfly Fob. (Want to know a secret? - we are also
working on matching needle books, scissors cases and finally a Bourse bag
designed to hold all the "smalls" inside...but we'll save details for those
for another day.) Remember, these Biscornu kits are "all-inclusive kits" so
everything needed will be included in the kit for you.
We've continued our very popular French Inspired Alphabet Teenie Kit Series
with "M" Is For Mittens (which is wonderfully textural with a big fuzzy
mitten stitched with Wisper fibers right in the center of the design). This
series has been our most popular EVER and you can see all of their wonderful
predecessors in the Teenie Kit section of our website! Because they're in
such high demand we're looking forward to completing the whole alphabet as
quickly as we can design more!

We have a spectacular and sparkly new Sampler kit as well.......it's called
"SPARKLING FORGET-ME-NOT SAMPLER." It's chock full of fun fancy stitches
and sparkles aplenty with our Crystal Clear Paillettes and Magnifica beads.
This also is an "all-inclusive kits" so everything you need will be included
in the kit for you.
In our Teenie Tweenie card series we have 3 fun additions - First is "THINK
SNOW" - I hear many of you are doing this right now since you're
"snowed-in." Next is "STRAWBERRY QUILT BLOCK" worked on sparkly
Opalescent-White linen and finally "BLUE MOUNTAIN BUNNY" a darling spot
motif sampler which may worked using a variety of fibers...we show 2
versions, one using Dinky Dyes Blue Mountain overdyed silk and another using
DMC Blanc floss on a delicate teal colored linen. Each design has a custom
matched embellishment to finish off the pattern in style!
Advance copies of these new designs have already been sent to many shops &
should be on display soon - so stop in & (excuse the Arizona pun) get'em
while they're hot!
