Out Sick

UPDATE: I corrected the Two Sisters' blog address. Sorry, I didn't notice I copied the wrong address yesterday. Shouldn't post when I am sleep deprived!

I've not done any stitching or finishing this weekend
as I've been out sick with food poisoning from the yogurt treat I allow myself every Saturday. So I have done nothing but the basic chores all weekend and still don't feel that great. (Anyone think I can sneak a nap in before work?)

However, lots of other folks have been busy posting about their stitching on their blogs. If you take a little tour, you can see lots of fun things to treat your eyes and give you ideas of what to stitch in the coming year.

Kelly's just started her blog. She has this chair she puts pillows on and what pillows they are! I wonder if the Kelly Clark Santa she is stitching currently will end up on The Chair someday?

The Stitching Sisters Blog is a cooperative effort and because it showcases two stitchers' work, there is always something new and fun to see, from the Barbara Elmore mantelpiece to the Limoges box, by way of a purse and a box lid. And that's just on the first page! Work backwards to see other goodies that these two talented stitchers are working.

Madonna, the Front Range Stitcher, has decided to start on her two whispering cat geishas canvas. This is from Patt and Lee, whose website is below Madonna's blog link. Patt and Lee are unusual designers in that they produce designs on both interlock and mono canvas and also as charts.

That's enough for now. You have links to explore and I really do have to lie down for a while.

New Counted Thread from AmyBear Designs

AmyBear has just released two new designs--a geometric piece and a new "stained glass" portrait. The geometric honors Nina Goerres. I had no idea she mentored so many stitchers and designers! Nina, we do miss you.
