I Bet You’ll Love Lucie!
I received a nice note today from a new-to-me cross stitch designer, Lucie Heaton of LucieHeaton.com Cross Stitch Designs (Blogroll). That doesn’t happen very often because I’ve been around long enough and been researching this hobby so much of that time that I tend to know who most of the designers are already. So a new-to-me designer is a real treat. So is a new designer, but this one has been around a while based on the number of designs in her inventory — and it’s been twelve months according to her email.
This cute frog is one of Lucie’s freebie designs, and she’s got lots of goodies for you to check out — all sorts of designs which would be great on cards and gift tags or for use as magnets or bookmarks.
Lucie has some very nice larger pieces, too — her Santa Sampler is so cute, and check out the fabulous idea someone who stitched it came up with for a fundraising competition!
I’m feeling a bit distracted myself at the moment because my mother-in-law had an angioplasty this morning, and now she’s in having bypass surgery. This is all way too soon after we lost Dad; I’m so nervous, I’m having trouble putting thoughts together.
So I’ve just purchased and downloaded Hair Dressing, which looks like it should be fairly simple so that hopefully I can concentrate on it well enough anyway.
My hairdresser is always asking me what I mean when I talk about cross stitching … I think I’ll just make her something, and then the next time I see her, I can show her! Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might want to finish this design, though, before giving it to a real hairdresser?

I plan on getting that pattern, too - and will put my hairdresser’s name below it, and her shop’s name above it. That will turn it into a rectangular pattern instead of a square.
