Happy Distractions & Future Plans
While we sit. And wait. And stitch. And curse. Might as well shop!
OH, MAN, the tension in the air— can you feel it? Fear, uncertainty, the elephant (donkey?) in the room… hopefully, you have something you’re stitching to help your wandering freakouts. I’m sure you know that the act of stitching a feisty phrase by hand, stabbing material with thread, can reduce your stress levels by a bazillion percent. Cross stitch is notoriously therapeutic, akin to meditation. That makes me think of yoga; what would a cross-stitch class with a goat be like? Back to my point… Subversive Cross Stitch is SO therapeutic, raw, organic, non-GMO, soy-free, gluten free, with no artificial colors and no animals are ever inconvenienced even in the slightest way during production. Practically grass-fed good-for-you crafting.
Another super therapeutic activity as we wait to see which direction our country will take is treating your future self. You should have something out there past November 5th to look forward to, because thinking of that will help you through whatever nightmares you’re having now.
I’ve been putting together just the thing.
Happy Sloth Best Sellers Pop-Up Shop
Shazam! We turned Happy Sloth’s top-selling patterns into kits! You can purchase them individually or as a set with a discount. Since this is a POP-UP SHOP, we take the orders first and then order everything and put the kits together, which takes time. So, these orders will ship before Thanksgiving. The perfect thing to take along for the holiday and stitch up some gifts! You can find all of these designs right HERE! What a great thing to look forward to, right?
Say It With A Needle Minder
In the meantime, here are a couple of expressive needle minders (you could also wear them or stick them on your fridge when not in use: a daily reminder of the importance of LEVITY (and expressive cussing).
FREE PDF: Jimmy Carter
I made this an official FREE PDF that you can download and share or send people our way to get it themselves.
New PDF Pattern from Edwin Z. Canary
The birds are out there screaming on our behalf because it’s just more socially acceptable for them. Right? Thanks, birds! PDF pattern here.
That about wraps it up. We voted today, and I know you already have, or you’ve got a plan. Now, we just sit and wait.
And STITCH! Stitch, stitch, thread the needle again, stab, stab, stab…
Hang in there; you are not alone!
