Still here...still isolating... still working on the same projects (sigh).  This castle project is going to be WAY cool, but wow, quite a project to get done in a hurry!  The magazine editor is being quite patient (fortunately), as I'd hoped to have it ready for her by mid-May, and now it's looking like mid-June (gulp). 

My stitchers are doing fantastic though - I'm hearing that the EARTH FRACTAL is almost done... a Catherine Simposon AND a Shelley McVittie piece have both come home, so watch for them to be released in the coming months... AND I got a lot of updates done on my website - which you can read all about in my e-newsletter (wink).  However, if you ony visit HERE, and don't yet receive the newsletter... check out the website for the following:

MEET THE TEAM - pics and bios of the artists and designers who work with X's & Oh's, and you can also see JUST their works! 

WE HAD TO BUY ... EXTRA'S - this is a brand new option that lists a few of the things I have on hand which I don't normally carry.  I often special order for customers (especially my local guild ladies), but sometimes I have to purchase 3 of something the stticher may only want 1 of.  Not normally a problem, as these extras disappear quickly at tradeshows and events throughout the year... BUT with the pandemic, and the cancellation of many shows, I'm looking for different ways to let YOU know what I have, that you might want (wink). While these are mainly beads and bead kits (at the moment), there are also some TERESA WENTZLER patterns, and DRAGON DREAMS patterns, as well as back issues of A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD magazines.  Note that only the most recent issues are shown on the website, but get in touch if you're looking for an older issue, as I have quite a few older issues too!

WE ALSO CARRY - (on the RIGHT side bar) are 4 designers I print or publish or distribute, who are NOT X's & Oh's, but whose charts you can purchase from us! 

FLOSS / BRAID etc.... (on the LEFT side bar) is another category we've been working on - a recent upgrade limited the number of items per page to 30, which meant we had to break the floss out into several pages.  There is still some work to do here, as the DMC pages are missing some floss (not sure why!), and the PEARL COTTONS are still under construction... but I'm getting there!! 

So, that's it for me this month, still plugging away!  Eagerly waiting for Stage 2, when we can start getting out a bit more... stay safe - and HAPPY STITCHING!
