Searching for patterns.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that most projects take a little while to complete, I almost always am working 3 to 4 months ahead of time. Right about now I should be working on things for Mother's Day, and I'm having trouble finding patterns that I already own for that.

C, my husband, is supposed to be working on a program to help organize my patterns, but he's so busy with work, I don't know when I'll ever see it. He programs all day, and I know he doesn't want to work on it at night.

What's worse, I am also having a hard time finding small flower patterns. Should be easy right? Sampler sized patterns, quick and easies... yeah, suddenly seems that nobody wants those patterns now. I'll probably start making my own.

Another issue that I'm finding is that so many sites don't let you sort by size. I want flower patterns. I'm not much concerned with the price, or the date that they were added. I just want to have small patterns. Or big patterns, or sorted however I want them to be sorted.

If anyone knows a good site like that, please post in the comments.

Dragonfly

I'm working on a new card for the shop. It's got a decidedly Asian feel, and I'm continuing to work with the Kreinik thread. It's so much nicer than working with the DMC metallics, and really gives my work a sense of dimension. This time it's on the dragonfly's wings, and just seems to make them shimmer. The thread is their clear thread, number 32, and really makes it pop.

So this one should be done soon, but I'm not sure what it should be next. I want to get a full row of designs done before I start cards, but I'll get this one into a card by the end of the month.
