This kitty has a hold on us!! :) 

You can tell by the fact that he's pretty much in every picture I post on IG nowadays. But here, he's highlighting one of my other very favorite things in the world…embroidery!

This is the year I am really getting my embroidery on…

 And my first finish of the year is this little mini snack mat or a wall hanging (whatever you want it to be!!!) in honor of celebrating:

This is my submission for Project Quilting's Season 7 challenge 1!! Yep, I'm back at it, creating a project in a week every other week. It's one of my favorite things…start and finish in a week!!

Here are some process photos for you…

I love these hexi precuts, and I'm kinda liking Y-seams, too!! 

The binding fabric says celebrate on it!!! Love this line from Sweetwater Fabrics!

and of course, the embroidery…my signature!

You will be seeing a lot more of it. I've been collecting text and phrases and words that I want to embroider on everything I see!!

I'm really looking forward to having a newly restocked Etsy shop with fun new embroidery! I have about 18 new pieces to put in there, and here's the big announcement:

Sally's Angelworks will be having a Grand Re-Opening on February 1st!!!  

There will be freebies and patterns and some tweaking here and there and ohhhhhh so much fun!

We all need to do some decluttering and fixing and revamping. That's what the new year is all about, right? 

I'm excited! I hope you are, too!!

Stay tuned all this month as I post more! And join my newsletter (see sidebar on the right!) to get updates on what's happening on the blog, store, IG, FB!! even on the homefront! We can't leave out Eli. Kitten antics are always fun!

Blessings!
