Hi there! It’s great to have you back here with me today.????The next stop on our Winter Threadventure is absolutely ahhhh-mazing! I’m super excited to share where we’re going today, so hop aboard the Serendipity Express with me and let’s take our magical virtual vacation train to our second stop. Wondering where that might be? None other than enchanting Rovaniemi, Finland – way up north at the Arctic Circle…
This one is gonna be even better than the last one, too. The 2019 Winter Threadventure is chock full of exciting new threads and stitches – and I can hardly wait for it to begin!
Grab your favorite cuppa and I’ll tell you all about it…
Oh – and if you’re new to the Serendipity family, click here to read about our very first Threadventure.
We’re at the end of October and I just can’t believe it, can you?! The trees are beginning to change colors here in Alabama and it looks like we’re going to have a beautiful fall.
Cooler weather is finally here, too. In fact, we turned the heat on this past weekend and I brewed my first cup of hot apple cider tea just yesterday morning.
and that means pulling out the hand-knit blankies and my grandmother’s quilts, the cinnamon spice candles, and, of course, the electric tea kettle. I love a warm tasty cuppa in the morning when the temperature drops.
How about you? What’s your favorite cold weather beverage? Hot tea and hot chocolate are my favorites.
Bright yellow mums, vivid orange pumpkins, ruby red apples, golden bales of hay – signs of fall everywhere!
That reminds me – there’s a charming fall-inspired design by Julie Mar that I shared with you earlier (maybe over on Facebook or Instagram?) and I’m about to start it. (squeeee!!!)
I thought I had all the threads I needed, but I changed my mind about some of them. Do you ever do that?
Here are a few of the threads I’m going with now…
I can hardly wait to dive into stitching this happy canvas! It’s getting my full attention – right after I wrap up the project I’m doing for the spring issue of Making magazine.
I already have some ideas whirling around in my head for what I’m going to do. I’ll share some of my notes – and my progress – with you when I start. ????
And if you want to see my progress on the Tuscaloosa canvas, just click here. I’m nearly finished with it!
Before I go, there’s a little housekeeping I want to share with you, too.
one for needlepoint and embroidery and one for knitting and crochet. (I’d love to have you join me in one – or both – if you aren’t already a member. Just click the link(s) above to hop over and request to join.)
I added the new yarn group so you’ll have a place to gather with other kindred spirits who share your love of knitting and crochet – and so that you’re receiving the best in curated content for your favorite hobby.
I’ll be hosting FB Lives every Thursday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. Central time in our Serendipity Needleworks groups, beginning next month!
Here’s the schedule for November…
That means there won’t be an issue of NeedleNotes or a blog post next week.
In the meanwhile, have a wonderful rest of your day and Happy Stitching!
XOXO!
