			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After some thought, I am revamping the Elmow program. Fair warning &#8211; all old Elmows will be pulled down on February 15. I will repackage them with a few new designs for sale on the GCD site and on Etsy, but the price will be going up, and you won&#8217;t be able to get most of them individually any more.</p>
<p>Going forward in March Elmows will be released as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 weekly patterns and individual designs as always at 99 cents each.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The last Wednesday of the month I will post the entire monthly set, including one additional bonus design for $2.99.</li>
</ul>
<p>They will be available for one month additional. So patterns posted in February will be available through March, and so on.</p>
<p>A month after they are pulled, the design packs (NOT the individual designs) will be available on Etsy and GoldenCircleDesigns.com for $5.99. The format will probably be PDF, although I may make these designs available to shops in printed format as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While perusing blogs this morning, I came across this post by Chris Richards at Ella&#8217;s Craft Creations. She did <a href="http://bit.ly/sv0Yt0" target="_blank">this wonderful embroidery</a> for a commission, and it fell through! Pretty, no? OK, absolute stunning and gorgeous &#8211; beyond pretty!</p>
<p>And my announcement. <a href="http://goldencircledesigns.com/Custom.html" target="_blank">I am now accepting commissions for custom embroidery designs.</a> If you ever had an idea that you thought you wanted to stitch but couldn&#8217;t draw, we can work something out. I can even kit the project for you when it&#8217;s all designed! Freestyle, crewel, stumpwork, cross stitch. Let&#8217;s talk!</p>
