Well, there’s a lot coming soon on Needle ‘n Thread – a lot of embroidery content, tips, techniques, tutorials, projects, supplies, books, resources, and more. Everything you expect on the website… with a few new twists and surprises for 2025. Like hand embroidery, the Development of Things here is a slow process, but you’ll see the fruits of our labor as 2025 unfolds.

Right now, it seems that the biggest “coming soon” is that we will be coming (back) soon. We’ll be back to the full swing of work on Monday. I’m counting on the upcoming above-freezing weather to do its job and clear up our roads this weekend.

In the meantime, I’m still working from home. As we speak, I’m looking out at the steepest and longest hill street in our town (believe it or not, this part of Kansas is not flat!), which happens to be the street bordering the west side of my home. It is still compacted with snow and ice and barricaded. My driveway, halfway up that hill, is inaccessible. Needless to say, the street has become the premier destination of every kid with a sled. It’s fun to watch!
