Not your grammas stitching is their motto and aint it true!

From beefcakes to kitty's, skulls to owls, russian dolls, unicorns and more the Sublime Stitching girls have thought of it all.  

If you like a simple stitch or an in-depth multi coloured and stitched extravaganza you can make it so.  Each sheet of transfers can be used up to 5 time and at $8 a pack that works out at roughly 10-30 CENTS an image! nuts eh.  You can stitch'a lil something for everyone (perhaps even start on those Christmas pressies now..eeekk yes I said it)
We have 2 types of ABC,  Heavy Metal (ra!) and a more vintage influenced type for spelling out rude words or kind words.
For those folk who missed out on the super rad owl scissors...we have em back in! only a few pairs so snip snap em up!  If you have never stitched before and you would like some advice I am more than happy to give a some and send you to some super helpful sites to get you on your stitching way.

happy stitching!

So howdy! Welcome to 2012 and a fresh year of sun, fun and new goodies.

In anticipation of Easter I got in these super wee darling soaps.  Perfect for that lovely person who perhaps cannot eat chocolate (or fathom carob....blurrghhh!! yes hello Jenn I'm talking to you!) these wee Nest egg soaps, Rubber ducky soap and my fav the wee button soap...aww!! All of the soaps are lightly scented and come in sweet boxes tied up with bows and only $8. Bargain!

I'm a big fan of notebooks, I think I possibly may be slightly obsessed with them.  If ever I see a cute notebook free with a magazine....even if I don't like the magazine...I will buy it.  Then save it until I find the right time to use it.   This new Julia Rothman typewriter notebook is just my type (ah hehehe) of notebook.  We also have these uber cute wee little girl notebooks in!  2 of them have animal ear hats and 2 have flowers in their hair...so sweet!
