Candle Survey: Moms Need Time Out

by

Cody MummauAccording to Glade’s ® Flameless Candle Survey 98% want a “Me Zone” and 94% think they deserve it. 74% say they face obstacles to getting time out. Other findings:

One in three find the bathroom to be the only place they can get some time to themselves. I know I can relate to this one and I know my mom can too.

When it comes to the ambiance of their Me Zone, 56% want pleasant smells and 40% would include candles. Who would want unpleasant smells?

64% would actually want a “We zone” to include friends and/or family. One third said they would share their “Me Zone” with their pet.

The Glade(R) Wisp(R) Flameless Candle comes in a decorative glass jar that fits virtually any decor. Glade(R) Wisp(R) Flameless Candle starter kits include one candle, a reusable frosted glass jar, two AA batteries and a scented oil refill. It will be available in summer 2007 in the Clean Linen(TM) and French Vanilla scents at food, drug and mass-merchandise stores everywhere for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9.99. Refills are available in the scents of Clean Linen(TM), French Vanilla, Hawaiian Breeze(R), Apple Cinnamon, Suddenly Spring(R) and Rainshower(R) for the suggested retail price of $3.49.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
