Hello there! It's been a minute since I've been able sit down with a cuppa and write to you. Spooky and I have been stitching Cobblestone Lane, Cobblestone Drive, Cobblestone Circle - you get the idea! We finished enough of the new Once Upon a Time Play Set to take it to the professional testers at A Bit of Stitch's house last week, and these darling engineers approved the village design with enthusiasm! Cobblestone Court isn't done just yet, but it's so close!

So, while I finish the charming cobbles, I've put a few of the Once Upon a Time goodies on sale! You can find the 3 adorable Fairy Tale Cottages here.

The Wishing Well (which actually works, by the by) is on sale here.

And the Princess Privy - that hole in the seat under the prince's bottom still makes me giggle - is on sale here. The Prince and Princess are part of A Bit of Stitch's Charming Collection, and you can see them all here, along with maids, footmen, unicorns, horses, and more! You can find all the sets that currently make up the Once Upon a Time Collection here.

While Spooky and I have been capering down Cobblestone Lane, the flowers outside have started blooming like crazy! Everything smells so good - I knew there was a reason I moved to the South!

The flowers in my house are also in bloom in the Flower Garden Quilt. I've used some of the individual squares (which are pieced, appliqued, and stippled in the hoop) to make a few coordinating pillows.

I used the matching designs in Flower Garden Applique to make some pillowcases to finish out the ensemble. You can find the quilt here and the applique flowers here. They're both on sale!

Between cobbles, Spooky and I managed to finish your April Gift with Purchase! It's been up for a couple weeks, but I haven't had time to tell you about it. 🤪

Rainy Day Trivets includes a large umbrella with a pretty pair of rain boots.

The set also includes a matching rain hat trivet! The April Gift is free with any $10 purchase, and you can see more pictures of the trivets here.

We hope you have a Fairy Tale kinda week! Spooky and I are headed back to Cobblestone Court to work on our bridges and ponds!

Shelly and Sir Spooky

If you want to make one of these darling little purses, too, the Tiny Totes are on sale here. Until next time...
