FREE Mystery Block 3, New Buttons & Giveaway....

Today is a day to CELEBRATE! Not only is it "LUCKY" Friday, the release day of the NEW FREE "Let it Snow" Block 3... but also a HUGE milestone over our on Facebook Page! I am {humbly blessed} with over 12,000 followers! WOW! How cool is that?!?! Let's celebrate with giving away {A baker's dozen} of the new block kits over on our FB page!!! Hats off to all you amazing peeps! Let's keep this journey going and celebrate creativity everyday!

The new block is the "female" version of the cardinal! She often gets overlooked.. so I thought she needed to shine!~ We are adding different elements, to make sure the whole project will come together in the end! You will also get 2 blocks next month- because one block is a "filler" block! So be ready! Things are getting exciting! Here is the link to the block : http://www.buttermilkbasin.com/shop/Mystery-BOM.htm {And I just added the buttons for your snowmen blocks!}

There is so much going on at the Basin... that our heads our spinning! I have SEW many things in process... we heard we may get the new space on the 1st now... we will also be getting a new printing/production system on site.... we have a HUGE surprise that we can't share yet {I know, right!!! I want to share it, too!!!} .... we have TONS of new product waiting to get up on the web... we will be making lots of changes to the website and adding wool, floss & more supplies! Then I am working on my fabric line{s} still & starting on NEW designs for market! I have never started this late, but it seems I work best when I am "under pressure"! LOL! Anyone else like me?!?! Be sure to visit us in Salt Lake, at the International Quilt Market in May! Our booth is 2441!

On the home front.... the girls are on spring break! Our house turns into the "FUN" house! Kiddos are coming and going! They have been baking, making bath bombs, walking to Caribou, getting their nails done... sleepovers & movie dates are on the horizon! They are both super excited to be on vaca! Then tomorrow, I am making a couple appetizers & heading up to Kelly's house for her daughter's baby shower! She is having a girl... so, a shopping I will go tonight! I LOVE shopping for babies! She will be out of the studio for 2.5 weeks, as she is riding back to Florida to spend some time with her daughter and will be going to her ultrasound appt where she can see her new little grandbaby!!! So sweet!

This week was amazing at the shop!  Besides getting in a TON of wool, trays and threads to put on the website...our new phone systems were installed {which allows anyone in the shop to take your calls at anytime}!  Exciting!!!  Jodi also started at the shop!  It is sooo awesome to have her back!  She had been my side kick for many years {back in the day} and took time off to be there for her kiddos!  {She's a great momma & super cook too!!!}  She, too, had missed being in the creative environment and will be at the shop 4 days starting in April!  YEEHAW!  Now we are talking!  

I have also been working on my NEW fabric line! {I know you are all anxiously waiting for it!!!} I have been having SEW much fun!  There always seems to be so many options, that it is hard to narrow lines down!  I really am happy to have the opportunity to be more creative and bring you some great prints to add to your stash!  We are hoping to have the line released at fall market!  The fun never ends here at the Basin!

On the home front, Hannah's team did great at the Robotics Competition last weekend!  Their team made it to the finals and lost.  Luckily, since they did so well, they were able to be the wild card team and will be going to compete at Nationals in St. Louis next month!  I am so pumped for the kids!  How exciting!  This weekend will be filled with making homemade pizza, movies, games & sleepovers!  Gotta make the memories while we can with the girls {and their friends}!  {Crossing my fingers the cleaning fairy comes tomorrow while I work... so I can make some cookies instead of cleaning later!!!
