Happy New Year! We've made some good resolutions for this year - starting with being on time with all of your monthly gifts. Hmmm... maybe we'll start that one next month! 😋 I confess that we took a bit of time off for snuggling and reading under the electric blanket after my HVAC decided to stop working. It's been in the 50's in the house (the fake fire in the fireplace is not helpful), and Spooky's little jelly beans, along with my fingers, are freezing! We are hopeful that we will get our heat back soon. 🤞

We did manage to get your January Gift done before diving back under the covers! You know it's chilly when you're warming your fingers by the iron!! Throughout the year, your gift each month will be a new Hot Pocket. These hot pot holders are finished in a 6" x 8" hoop.

The gap to turn the oven mitt right side out is hidden under the pocket, so the back is pretty as can be!

The pocket is perfectly sized to hold recipes, a bag of chocolate chips, or any other little treat you'd like to tuck in there. The Hot Pocket Collection will make fun gifts throughout the year. Bake It Till You Make It is free with any $10 purchase during January, and you'll be able to add it to your cart at checkout.

Don't those chocolates look delicious? They look real enough to eat, and every time I stitch one of these yummy borders, I get a serious chocolate craving.

Chocolate Delight, which includes borders, fun chocolate sayings, and single treats is, on sale this week. You can see all the designs included in this set here.

Sweet Temptations Applique, another delicious set, is also on sale! Click here to see the rest of the set. The hemstitched coasters in the picture above are from All About Blanks.

I seem to have a chocolate theme going here, but since Valentine's Day is coming up, I hope you'll forgive me!

Candy Clutches, which will delight the little ones, are on sale this week, too! You can find the sweet little purses here, and the Valentine Chocolates embroidered on the tea towel here.

Speaking of Valentine Chocolates, why not make your own box to hold them! The Sweet Treat Boxes, which each come in two sizes, are on sale this week, too. You can find them here.

We might actually get a bit of snow again this year. Gah. I might have to move back to Idaho if it doesn't get warm soon. If it does snow, I know just what mug rug to use with my hot chocolate! If you want to make one, too, Snow Day is on sale, and you can find it here.

We hope you have a super sweet, chocolate kinda week! We are going to use that oven as a heat source, and bake it till we make it warm!! Thanks for reading!
