NEW for 2018!

Hey L*K Blog Readers...I'm BACK!!! It's been a long (mostly unplanned) break from blogger-ville and the day to day happenings at L*K. After a nice holiday respite, I'm back in the groove and ready for 2018.

I want to tell you about 2 new Lizzie*Kate designs that are coming your  way SOON! We'll be shipping to shops worldwide on Wednesday, January 17. 

#189 Winter Smalls

Our seasonal Smalls series continue with 4 little winter projects. We've spelled out WINTER with fun motifs, just like Summer and Autumn. The other 3 projects are Snow, Sweetheart (Valentine's Day!) and Snuggle

Has anyone noticed that every season all of the projects begin with the same letter? It's a fun little design challenge for me and I'm wondering if anyone notices?! Check out #182 Summer Smalls (Birds, Bees, Berries) and #185 Autumn Smalls (Hoot, Halloween, Haunted). Now you know about my alphabet obsession!

B59 The Things We Love Inspiration Boxer

I've loved this quote for a long time and was surprised to find the source - St. Thomas Aquinas. It's a timeless saying...don't you agree? Boxer includes 32 ct. Lambswool linen, bonus pattern and beads.

Hope all of you are off to a wonderful 2018!

Please tell me I'm not the only person who hasn't finished putting away their Christmas decor?! I've rounded everything up - well almost everything - and hauled it downstairs. Now I'm trying to put it away in a "meaningful way". What the heck is that?

I'm trying to clean out/edit years of Christmas decor, instead of throwing all the stuff I used on top of the decor that didn't make it out of the totes this year. It's hard to part with some of that stuff, but it also feels good to pare down. And that's my excuse for why it's taking so long to put Christmas 2017 on the shelf!!! For some reason I find this kind of organization really exhausting/boring. What does that say about me? 

****BONUS POINTS if you noticed what is funky about the photo on the Winter Smalls. Look again! Is there something missing...like maybe 3 noses? Yes, I forgot to stitch the noses on the 3 snowmen. I know exactly how it happened. I'm sure I didn't have orange thread on my little cart, and figured I would do it later. And I didn't...and I forgot. I didn't notice the ominous missing noses until the finishing was done. 

Digital correction to the issue. The 3 noses are rightfully restored on the final cover photo on Winter Smalls. WHEW!!!
