Wow!!! That's a lot of patterns!!!

I keep track of my sales on an Excel spreadsheet. It isn't fancy, but it does the job!
When I first started my business 12 years ago, I made the spreadsheet so that it would give me a running total of patterns sold, both per pattern and overall. Today when I was entering the orders that had just come through on my email I glanced at the overall pattern sales and couldn't believe my eyes. As of today I have sold over 23000 patterns!!
My best seller is still my "Cold Weather Friends"! Can anyone guess how many of those patterns I have sold?? Enter your guesses on my Fairfield Road Designs Facebook page (why not "Like" the page while you are there?) and whomever has the closest guess by Sunday night will win one of my Door Decor felted wool applique kits!!

More Punchneedle Kits

I've also added a couple more kits to my website for my "Folk Flowers" and "Heirloom Blooms" punchneedle patterns. All of these kits contains the punchneedle pattern, a square of weaver's cloth, a custom designer set of twelve balls of Valdani 3-strand hand dyed embroidery floss and a FREE punchneedle pattern or book. If you haven't tried Valdani 3-strand embroidery floss to do your punchneedle projects YOU SHOULD TREAT YOURSELF! It is amazing to work with and always gives GREAT results!!

And here is my project:

I've just finished adding embroidery floss kits for this project to my website. Check them out on my "Kits" page - Fairfield Road Designs Kits

The website is DONE!

I can't believe it, but my new website is finally up and running!
Last summer I decided that my website needed a face lift, so I took some time to surf the web to see what types of websites appealed to me. I sent some sample to our web mistress Sue Wilkins and gave her some other ideas about what I wanted. Sue set up the main pages and guided me through the process of entering all of my patterns and other products. This week we FINALLY finished, launched the new site and have already worked out a few kinks.
Please check it out at www.fairfieldroadesigns.com to see the new look. I'm so happy that my website, blog, Facebook page and Craftsy site are all now linked together in one spot. Many thanks to Sue for her guidance and infinite PATIENCE!
