Wow, am I a bad blogger or what! I haven’t posted a new blog since the end of May and it’s now the middle of July! Bad bad blogger
I’m a good tweeter though, I Twitter almost every day!
Does that give me some sort of redemption? lol
It’s sunday and I’m feeling goofy today. We finally got moved and mostly settled. Still haven’t gotten everything where I want it but it’s workable. Need to rearrange the kitchen cabinets a bit to make the kitchen flow a bit smoother but overall I really like our new home
Need to figure out where to put my collection of mason and other miscellaneous jars (they’re still in the boxes I packed them in). Hate to put breakables on shelves because I’ve had a few fall down and everything broke. That’s just heartbreaking when it’s something that can’t be replaced. I’ll figure it out I’m sure…one of these days! lol
Kids are enjoying our new town. The library is within walking distance so my kids are … ready for this … going to the library almost every day … and it’s SUMMER! They’re reading and participating in the classes and I think it’s just wonderful! They have a lot more responsibilities here than they did out in the cornfield, such as a pool to clean every day and a yard overflowing with plants and flowers that must be weeded and tended. They’re doing great and every day I notice I don’t have to remind them quite as much as the day before to do their ‘chores’.
I’m gearing up for what is normally Christmas in July at HeartStrings Embroidery - but this year I’m calling it Happy Everything! I think my overall theme this year will be the seasons. 4 season quilt blocks and a bunch of other things all revolving around the seasons or months or days of the week. Haven’t decided what all new designs I will have, but they’ll be lots plus a freebie every day. If you have a suggestion for a design you’ve been wanting, let me know. I have wonderful artists that can draw anything so give me a shout out!
Well I’ve rambled quite a bit now. I need to get busy doing my ‘chores’..the pool needs vacuumed, weeds need pulled and I need to put together our new (to us) pool table. A little funny…my kids asked me if I could not PRIM out the rec room!
ROFL I thought that was too funny! lol So I guess that means no saltbox or willow trees or tea-dye allowed in there…rofl rofl
Have a great day & SMILE

Ok – by sitting here typing on my blog I am putting off what I SHOULD be doing which is packing up this house! We’ve only lived here a year, how in the world did we accumulate so much JUNK! My kids’ rooms look like a paper mill threw up (not a pretty site..lol). I wonder how many trees I could actually regrow with the amount of paper my girls have accumulated. Legos – on my word – do my boys have legos! We have legos under the beds, between the beds and walls and in the closet. No wonder they keep telling me they don’t have enough to make this or that – they can’t find half of them! lol
I complain about this in good nature
Legos and drawing papers are good things – it shows that my children are creative and they explore it and utilize it. As a creative, artistist mom – that makes me so happy
I very much enjoy their drawings and looking at what they build. Some times their ideas might be far-fetched, but at least they have ideas. I love watching their gears turn in their minds when they are sitting with paper and crayon or have a stack of blocks in front of them. It does my artist’s heart good and tugs on my HeartStrings (ohhh, just had to ya know… lol)
Sooo – I am now going to get up and GET BUSY!!! The U-Haul will be here friday morning (it’s now wednesday morning) and we want to load it and go. The new place is an hour and a half east so we only want to make one trip.
Everyone have a great day
and smile at someone :) you’ll be amazed at how good it feels.
Prim Blessings, Stephanie

Happy Thursday everyone
It’s a beautiful day here in Ohio and here I sit inside making embroidery designs
Windows are open and I have a wonderful breeze blowing through the house. Memorial Day weekend weather looks good. I bet my kids get in the pool even though I know it’s going to be COLD! Oh, the joy of being a kid.
I put up 3 new designs on HeartStrings today. Americana and Grandma and Grandpa. You can never have too much Americana I think
I haven’t snapped pictures yet, sorry about the computer generated pictures.

Oh I took a step away from the Prim world today and made an adorable, easy, in the hoop project for Father’s Day. My hubby loves to fish (I just don’t ‘get’ it but oh well, that’s why they created books) so I thought he would like this for Father’s Day. He saw it on the computer screen this morning and asked if he was getting one. I took that as an atta-girl!
This was a breeze to stitch! The sign is free-standing applique and the lures are stitched on plain ole backing. Get creative with the hangers – use paperclips, fishing line or invisible thread or small guage wire.
You can find these great new dangler projects in my New Release Category at http://www.heartstringsembroidery.com/catalog/

HeartString Embroidery’s ever growing catalog grew again yesterday. We add new designs every friday
I know Dad will just love this sampler stitched and framed (guess who is getting the one I stitched…lol). The Summer Sampler coordinates with our Exclusive Spring Sampler and I love willow trees and saltbox so I really love the Watch Sampler.

Wow – 2 posts in one day…what’s wrong with me!
Now don’t get spoiled cuz this won’t happen often – if ever again! lol
PrimiStitch Club designs just went out! If you love prim and country machine embroidery designs – you need to check out this club. You never know what I’ll send out each month
and the surprise is half the fun. The members call it a present in their mailbox every month. What’s better than that? This month there is a BONUS…but I’m not giving any hints

It’s friday, yea yea yea! It’s been a long week here. Between cleaning, packing, working and everything else – I’m tired!
Think I could sleep all day.
Today PrimiStitch Club goes out. I hope everyone enjoys this month’s designs. And new releases on HeartStrings Embroidery. Released a few new ones the other day but have a couple more like a summer sampler and saltbox sampler. Ya’ll know I’m partial to saltbox houses.
This weekend we’re going to take a load to the new house and get that put away before we start moving big stuff. The kids having school until june 3 is really messing up my plans! lol Wish they got out 2 days after Memorial Day like they have the last couple years. Oh well – it’ll all work out
It is nice to move something and put it away right away. Much less mess that way
But, moving in stages is a pain for sure.
I’m really excited about our ‘new’ house! Can’t wait for summer and the pool!!! Gonna love that
Wonder how many laps I’ll have to swim to fit into my skinny jeans! I don’t think there’s any pool long enough…rofl
Everyone have a great friday and stitch something fun!!!
