Glory Bee, Shepherd's Bush, Acorn House Designs, & Carousel Charts

For someone who is currently unemployed, you'd think I would be able to update this blog more often! Job-hunting is a tiresome process, however, and this stuffy computer room is the last place I want to spend more time in then I have to on such a glorious day. I don't want to disappoint the masses though, so here is a sampling of what's new this week in cross stitch.

There are more new releases from Carousel Charts as well. Bell Curve Beauty (Curves 2) is another delightful little snowman design. (Gosh, I'm really starting to love snowman patterns!) Also, the Letter 'U' is the next letter to be added to the Uppercase Monogram Pendant Kit series.
