It is still raining hard here in Chilly Hollow, so I thought perhaps you'd like to take a side trip to Key West, home of sun, fun and the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Julie Pischke has a shop in the Keys (I think now open mostly fall and winter for the tourist season, so call before you go) which I've had the pleasure of visiting. Her website has lots of news with plenty of pictures to help you enjoy both her designs and also her stitching visitors and their pieces, particularly her fabulous purses. Check them out by clicking on all the links. By the way, The Art of Needlepoint in the left column has finishing instructions for one of her tiny designs.
I'll go get the pina coladas while you browse....
By the way, the design above is Julie's Island Girl. It's fabulous and on 14 count for those of us who just prefer bigger counts that stitch up faster.
