That time of the year!

It is officially that time of the year when stress sets in!!  Ask any of the people around me and they could fill you in on stories galore about all of the insane things I find to stress about before going to Houston.  I hate having to leave things in the "what will be, will be" box and cant handle all of the uncertainties, not to mention feeling like an ignoramus talking to freight companies, my fear of flying etc etc.  But I am trying to let it go!!! Because it is true.... what will be will be!!!  Any amount of worrying wont change things, other than making me an unpleasant person to be around!  Sorry guys!!

Amongst all of the worrying (how many extra calories to you burn worrying???) I have made a new set of samples for Houston and just love my new "Hooty & Tweet"

The old samples were looking oh so very tired and they didn't mind the facelift!  I have again updated the pattern photo and boy these new photos are going to look so cute when our new-look covers come in by the end of the year.  I cant wait!

Of course I also forgot all about the giveaway with all of my pre-occupation.  I am so glad that you as excited about my lanterns as I am.  I am hoping they will survive the trip to Houston as they will look so cute in our booth.  

The three winners who have won their own copy of the "Lantern Strings" pattern are Sarah Lou, Michelle Duncan and Gnomeangel.  Email me with your addresses girls and I will get them posted right out to you!

Back to figuring out freight and new samples for me now....

Cute cute cute!
Good luck with your planning, and try not to worry. I read a cool quote once,
"Worry is like a rocking chair,
It gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere!"

Love the new Hooty and Tweet Melly. They are my favourite although I havent made myself any yet. Good luck with all the organising. I am sure there will be no problems and your lanterns will look gorgeous on your stand. :)

I know it's a bit cliched, but someone once said to me "what's the point of worrying about things that you have no way of changing?" and I try to remember this when I'm stressing and it does help! Good luck to you!

Stressful for sure but it must also be pretty exciting!!!

[Melly & me]

It is, once we are there!! I am one of those get excited once there kinda people. The lead up is too stressful and I am always convinced I will die on the way there (you gotta hate flying fear!!!!) Once I am in Houston on terra firma I will start to enjoy!! We always have such a blast there!
Am absolutely ADORING those robots on your blog - you are too clever for your own good girl!
