It has been a week of changes on the team.

For starters, let's welcome all the new members that have joined:

Marysgranddaughter

fishboneskeletonkey

yellowdandy

purpbutt

and

dimenstitch

I am so happy to see all the continued growth and the amazing artists that keep joining our team!  To all new member, please be sure to check out the "New Members" discussion thread on the team page for some good newbie info!

This week, we would also like to announce a change on the team leadership.  Unfortunately, Bekah of Beetastic will be stepping down from her position (but thankfully staying with our team) and Liz of ThisTinyExistance will be stepping up to take over for her.  Thank you to Bekah for all your work on our team and for getting us this far!  

Thank you as well to Liz for joining the leadership.  We are happy to have you.  You all can look for Liz to start recruiting members for the team blog starting around next week.  If you are interested in being featured, please convo myself or Liz!

Lastly, We will be seeing Stitchnmomma step down from creating our weekly treasuries.  We thank her for her hard work as that is not an easy job.  The leaders are currently reworking the weekly treasury aspect of the team blog.  If any members have suggestions we are all ears.  For now, we will leave that spot open on the weekly blog schedule.

Whew...I believe that is all for now.  As always, have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Amanda AKA Pilous Percilla

Team Member Needlework Patterns

Modern Squares Cross-Stitched Bookmarks PDF pattern from stitchnmomma

Happy Monday! I seemed to have missed posting last Monday...sorry about that! But this week I am showing a couple of wonderful patterns from two of our very own team members! Stitchnmomma features lots of her beautiful finished cross-stitch work to choose from, from buttons and bookmarks to magnets and wall art. But she also sells several of her original patterns. I especially love the Just Desserts patterns, a collection of 12 modern squares cross-stitched bookmarks. Great for stitching up as little gifts, and still have several left over to keep!

Gnomes at Home PDF Pattern by ThisTinyExistence

ThisTinyExistence features delightful hand-embroidered art of home life, featuring little views into rooms or gardens. Everything is beautifully done and you can even get custom piece of your own home or garden! But if you wish to stitch up your own "tiny existence", several of her original patterns are available for sale. I particularly like this gnomes at home pattern...look at the little gnomes hanging about! Sweet!

Happy Stitching!

Captain's Post

(coffee time by new member thistinyexistance)

Hey there team!

I started to wonder if I would ever get the chance to post a message to you all today in light of blogger's issues over the past two days.

I want to start out by saying a hearty "Thank You" to Gretchen for all the hard work she did in getting the team redirected and facilitating so much new involvement from our members!  Gretchen left me pretty well set up...so taking on this new role has been a breeze so far.

I also want to say "Thank you" so the members who have been so welcoming and positive about the change over in leadership and a special word to stitchnmomma for taking over our weekly treasury post!   

First order of team business that Gretchen and I had briefly discussed during our passing over of duties was our social networking for the team.  I think we might all like to see more going on in this area and I would like to get team thoughts and ideas on ways to make this more of a presence in our team promotion.  

I am admittedly not much of a facebook person and I don't twit (gasp!)...so I am not sure if I have the expertise to man this alone.  

Feel free to comment in this post with ideas or convo me personally so I can present them to the team leaders for consideration.  I will also start a thread on the team page for those who don't regularly read the blog (although I hope we all do)

That's all for now...have a great weekend!

Please let us all see what you are working on and post a link to new work here!
