I couldn't wait until my February update to tell you about an exciting new endeavor ~ Jeanne Horton, of Country Sampler in Spring Green, WI, has formed a new club called "Prim Sisters". What's this, you ask? Well, it's an opportunity to receive cross stitch projects featuring exclusive designs by: Lori Brechlin ~ Notforgotten Farm Betty Dekat ~ Primitive Bettys & Me ~ Pineberry Lane! The club begins in March/April with a project designed by me, called "Prim Sisters School of Needlework". That's all I can tell you for now ~ except that you'll receive kitted projects for each and every design. Betty's designs will be released in May/June & November/December. Lori's in July/August & September/October. I will finish up the year with a new design for January/February. For more information or to join the club, click on the image above and you'll be directed to Jeanne's lovely web site! You may also call the shop directly at 608-588-2510. Don't miss out ~ membership is limited! ~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Out With the Old ~ In With the New! Welcome 2012!
"There's the sheep! exclaimed William, pointing eagerly. "You see the sheep?" and sure enough it was a great company of woolly backs, which seemed to have taken a mysterious protective resemblance to the ledges themselves. I could discover but little chance for pasturage on that high sunburnt ridge, but the sheep were moving steadily in a satisfied way as they fed along the slopes and hollows. ~ A Dunnett Shepherdess ~ Sarah Orne Jewett ~ I have come to the conclusion that I must have been a shepherdess in a previous life. There is no other way to explain my extraordinary fondness for all things wool ~ raw wool, vintage wool, overdyed wool, needlefelted wool. The colors ~ creamy whites, tawny caramels, charcoal grays, cinnamon browns, rich black! And the smell!! From the fragrant curls of raw lambswool to the soft scent of an old wool blanket that has been gently washed and hung on the clothesline to dry. Have you ever washed an old wool blanket and hung it out in the sunshine? There is no smell like it ~ truly! A fragrance, ever so faint, of some charming flower that I can't name. Well, the need for a humble but useful little present for two of my dear stitching friends, a strong affection for the funny little sheep in my Christmastide sampler of last month, and my love of wool prompted my newest cross stitch design ~ Wool Pinkeeps! And I had just enough time after the Christmas holiday to stitch one of each to offer you... You will find the finished goods on Early Work Mercantile. Should you like to stitch them for yourself, the pattern is available under Featured Items at right as well as on Pattern Mart.  A Sale! I am kicking off the new year with a sale! All raw wools are 20% off ~ you will find them under Needfuls at left. The remaining bundles of Sweet Annie have also been marked down (also under Needfuls). And the last few items on my Flea Market pages have been marked down 50%. Sale prices will end on February 1, 2012. Changes & Goals in the New Year... While I don't make New Year resolutions, each year I do set new goals and objectives for Pineberry Lane. My first goal for the coming year is to to release my first reproduction sampler pattern. I've acquired a number of wonderful antique samplers over the past couple of years that I would love to share with you ~ the difficult decision will be which to work on first! Secondly, the new year will bring some changes to my pattern prices. This comes after much thought and the fact that my prices have remained the same since I started selling patterns in 2008 despite numerous increases in postage rates (postage is included in the price of my mailed paper patterns). New prices will go into effect February 1st, so if there is a pattern you've been waiting to purchase, you may want to buy it now before the price goes up. Also, I will be phasing out mailed paper patterns for my doll patterns only. Rest assured, they will continue to be available in e-pattern format! Cross stitch and needle punch patterns will continue to be available in both formats. And lastly, I promise to continue to offer new original cross stitch and needle punch designs in the coming year. Needlework is definitely where my heart is! New Year's Blessing... With the merry close of another very good year, I would like to wish each and every one of you many blessings, good health, prosperity, and a deep and happy heart! I sincerely appreciate your patronage and your friendship! Happy New Year! ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
