Birthday and Graduation ideas

We are re-grouping and putting Christmas behind us and moving ahead to spring and graduation ideas. These are some of the things that we have and most can be monogrammed to make it that special gift that you are looking for. The picture frames are new and make perfect gifts for all ages. We are getting new things often so if you have a special request, give us a call. We always offer monogram towels, duffle bags, hanging bags, lunch bags, landry bags and satin edged pillowcases. Happy Spring to all!!

Some of our inventory

Happy New Year!!

Christmas has come and gone and now here we are in 2009!! We have both had a great week with families and friends, celebrating the birth of Jesus and then the ringing in of the new year. We have enjoyed having our houses full, clothes on the floors, voices coming from upstairs and the sound of cars coming in the driveway late at night, bedroom doors opening to say, "I`m home, Mom". But now the kids are starting to go back to their homes, jobs and schools and life is fixing to get back to normal. We are once again, empty nesters.

We have taken a few weeks off from the machine but we are now looking forward to this new year and what it has in store for us with our 2 Stitches little company!! We are always entertaining new ideas and new projects and are excited about moving ahead with some of them. So check back with us to see what we are working on. Come see us whenever you want to. Our store is always open!!
Happy New Year to all. We thank you for your business this past year and look forward to serving you in the future.

Last minute sewing

A few more last minute things to sew and we should be getting close to being finished. We have had fun with our machine doing things for ourselves to give, in between orders! Here are some things from this week that have been finished. Can`t believe that Christmas is coming so quickly. Seems like we just celebrated Thanksgiving!!

Children coming home from college soon, then things will pick up for sure around our houses. It will be good to have them all home, if only for a short while. Lara is coming home on Sunday, driving the whole way from Baylor by herself!! She insists that she will be fine and is actually looking forward to the drive. We will see what she says afterwards..........

Barrett and Zack will be coming home soon, in time to go to Knoxville for Christmas to be with all the Tennessee family there. Chase, Kristen and Addison will be coming for a short 4 days but it will be quality time together with them!!!

We both are looking forward to have these new grandbabies with us for Christmas. It will be a special time indeed!! We have so much to be thankful for..

Last minute presents to buy, things to wrap, meals to plan, houses to clean, food to cook, cards to be addressed and stamped, etc., etc...... so much to think about but our motto is to "stay focused". We are trying not to worry about things that we have no control over, but to stay focused on Him and how we can let His glory shine in all we do.

Have a great weekend and we`ll check back soon.

Christmas sewing

We have been getting our last minute traveling done so we can concentrate on the next few weeks before Christmas and all we have left to do. We did some Christmas dresses for a friend and her grand daughters with little wreaths on the big white collars. Here are some pictures of them. We have one more show tomorrow night at Spain Park High School thn we will be selling from the basement until the last minute. Have a great week and we will be checking back soon. Jane

Thanksgiving

We both have so much to be thankful for this year. Have we mentioned that we both have new grandbabies?!! What a special time of year for us to be with our families and these new babies!! Lynn`s little Addison just celebrated her first birthday. She and Rick were able to go to West Virginia to be with Chase, Kristen and Addison for the long Thanksgiving weekend. What a great visit to watch Addison as she has this big birthday celebration, to watch her start walking all over the place and to just be with Chase and Kristen for Thanksgiving.

Jane and her family went to Gaga and Papa`s house for the big dinner. They had 21 for dinner but the two new grandbabies took center stage! One home from Baylor, one home from New York with a new fiance, so the family was complete if only for one night!!

We both have so much to be thankful for indeed. We are thankful for the path God has led us down as we opened our new business this year and we look forward to what He has in store for us next year. We are thankful for our families and new grandbabies. But we are thankful, most of all, for the upcoming Christmas season and the true meaning.of Christmas ............... the birthday of Jesus.

Briarwood Christmas Show

Our first big show has come and gone. We worked our little tails off getting ready for this one!! We were sewing our t-shirt dresses up until the last minute!! We were real pleased with our new outfits that we had to show and even got a new display to hang them on. There were lots of people at the show, lots of lookers!! We sold some and got some compliments and learned lots of things. We are planning our next outing to show some inventory and sell some of these little girl outfits.

Can`t believe we are down to counting in "weeks" before Christmas is here. Our goal is to finish things up in plenty of time to enjoy this special time of year with our family and friends. We both look forward to spending Christmas with our new little Grandchildren!

Here are some pictures from the show.
