Issue: August 2009

Welcome . . .

to this issue of my e-newsletter! Summer is full upon us -- I hope yours has been fun so far.

I find it harder to work now that the warm weather keeps calling me to the flowers beds. The weeds must be awfully tired - they just never give up filling in every little inch of bare ground. But I couldn't be happier to share the warm weather with them!

And now it's time to share another e-newsletter with all of you . . .

quick links

Quick Links are links to other websites that I think you will find useful and interesting. Places that are fun to explore, articles that are interesting to read, and people I just love!

Business owners: Want to advertise here? Just  email and ask how.

Subscribers: Do you have a favorite website or shop you'd like to share with everyone? Send me the link in an email and I will share related information in a future Quick Links column.

Social Networking is Just Plain Fun!

Business, as expected, has really dropped off dramatically; not so much because of the summer, but because of the poor economy. Folks need help justifying non-essential purchases these days -- rug hooking and punch needle are fun and relaxing, but not required to keep a household running in the black. I get that!

If you Become a Fan of my Folk 'n' Fiber page on we can have an online discussion right there. Maybe we can figure out how to help each other -- after all, isn't that what rug hookers do? And even if we don't find a solution, we can have fun chatting with one another and learning a little, too! I'd love to hear from you! And you can talk to one another, as well.

Just for fun, I have also been tweeting on Twitter - 

Rug Hooker's BO-GO

How about this for a start? Buy One - Get One 1/2 Off. If you purchase any rug hooking kit or pattern by August 15th, get a second one of equal or lesser value for 1/2 price. One catch - most small, online shopping carts, mine included, cannot calculate this kind of discount. So when you know which two patterns or kits you want, just send me an email and I will invoice you via your email address with a payment link. Or, if it's easier for you, give me a call at 440-233-6246 and I'll process your order by phone. One offer per customer, please; ends Aug 15.

marketplace shops

I have been adding items to my Etsy, ArtFire and 1000 Markets shops, If you have not explored these online marketplace shops to find great handmade items, check them out. You are sure to discover something that no one else will have!

create & decorate magazine

Most of you know that I have been designing projects for Create and Decorate for several years now. In that time, I have collected many of the magazine's issues. If you subscribe, but are missing some issues or if you have not subscribed but are looking for a particular issue that is no longer available, I might be able to help you. In an effort to make room for other 'stuff', I am willing to sell off some of my past issues. Email me with your issue requests and I will see if I can help you.

Each issue $3.00 (regular newsstand price $6.99 each.)

Punch Needle BO-GO

A special for all you punch needle embroiderers, too! Buy one yard of natural weaver's cloth by Aug 15, and get one yard FREE!  When you enter your order online, type BOGO in the voucher box of the shopping cart and hit RECALCULATE. You'll get the 2nd yard FREE! Be sure to order patterns, too, so you can start punching right away.

If ordering by phone is easier for you, give me a call at 440-233-6246. One offer per customer, please; ends Aug 15th.

Happy Summer  . . .
