Weekly Update 2

I've been busy busy this week, or rather this fortnight, with a few new charts to tell you about, as well as the release of the new fabric of the month. This fabric is Easter Bunny and is only available for the month of April 2015. It is shades of yellows and brown, and I do get so annoyed with the fact I just can't get an accurate picture to show the colours of these fabrics! The yellow is brighter than shown, 

As for charts, I've had a few new releases as I continue to work my way through my request list. All of the following were requested, but lack of personalisations mean they can go on the website for general sale in case anyone else is interested in them.

Blame

 Connected by the Heart

Dance Magic Dance

Women are Angels

In Words - Snowboarder

In Words - Tea

And then we have a few charts that come hand in hand with the first of the month....

April sees the release of a new Presley all dressed up ready for the chocolate hunting - Easter Presley Penguin

As part of the KLT Charting monthly club, members also receive a chart which no one has seen before. Once the month for the chart is over, it goes on general sale on the website for everyone else. March's club chart was the Tribal Skull

And, a new month brings a new charity to support. I always try to design a new chart if I can, and this month the chosen charity is the British Heart Foundation, so I created this... Heart Winged Butterfly

Phew, I think that's everything! I didn't realise how many new releases there had been since my last update until I just listed them like that haha.

I'm also planning on having a new start this week. I really did have all the best intentions of working on my WIP, but since starting it, my stitchy bug has been a bit hit or miss. I have utterly fallen in love with the April club chart. I know you probably think I'm biased since it's one of my charts, but I didn't actually design it... it's from the artwork of Chele Cooke, I just made it into a chart! I would love to be able to show it to you, but that wouldn't be fair on my club members, so I guess you're just going to have to wait to see what it is! But I have dyed the fabric I want to use (I've gone for 18 count 'Sea Mist'), the threads I'm missing are on order (DMC all the way on this one), but I have plenty I can be doing while I'm waiting for them to arrive. You never know, I might show a WIP update next time I'm on here! 

As always, if you're reading this, I'd love it if you hit the comments to let me know, and if you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see in future posts. Until then,

Happy stitching!

There's an app for that!

I have just realised something... I am RUBBISH at keeping this blog up to date! I think about it from time to time, and then something else crops up and I don't get round to a new entry... and then a week has gone by, and soon a month. Can you believe we are already in March?!? This year is simply flying by! I still have a to-do list as long as my arm, but wanted to take time out today and write. So here we are! The question is always the same though... what to write about?

I'm an incredibly disorganised person, and by that I mean if it's not on my to-do list, it doesn't get done. I found a fab app for my phone a couple of months ago which I now use for organising EVERYTHING - from the kids, to the housework, to work - if it's not on my list, it doesn't get done! So I thought, Kim, you idiot, add the blog to your app! And I have, so I hope you'll be seeing me on here a bit more regularly - if the phone tells me to do it haha.

My last blog was in January where I outlined what I wanted to get done, and I have been successful with some of that. I have been continuing to update the website, and have done a few more of the In Words Dogs. The new product however, is still a non-starter. There is a very good reason for this, but at the moment I can't tell you what it is - if I tell you the reason, you might guess the new product, and we can't be having that, can we ;) haha.

I have however, had a different new product. After examining my options, I decided to start making my own fobs and froggers rather than using a third party. With a choice of beads and charms, there is now the option to 'build your own' on the website. All the details can be found HERE.

I've also been working my socks off on custom charts. People in my facebook group may think I've not been releasing much lately, but that's just because I've been doing other things that don't get released. Trust me, I've been very busy.

I have had these releases though which I thought you might want to see:

St Patrick's Day Presley Penguin, which is March's Presley instalment. I aim to release a new one using this guy each month. I'll let you into a secret... April's Presley is already done, and I can't wait for you all to see him!

Each month KLT Charting supports a charity which is selected by a member of our Facebook group. March's charity is for Alzheimer's Disease, so have done this chart. Half of all the money made from this chart will be donated, along with the sales of any of the other KLT Charting charity charts.

I also have 2 new Tribal charts which I am longing to show you, but can't just yet. One is the Monthly Club chart, so will not go on general release until April, and the other is the chart I have given to those who completed the Flutterby SAL. Although the SAL is over, I want to wait a little while before releasing the reward chart to make it more exclusive for those who earned it.

I think that's all for now. I'll try not to leave it so long, so make sure to check back with us soon. I may even run a little blog giveaway ;)

Happy stitching!
