Does the Wizard Have Measles? UPDATED


I have done the silver trim on the blue over robe for the Joan Thomasson wizard and last night I added beads to the jacket and sleeves and hood (but not the blue robe area from his waist down). Before I go any further, does he look like he has measles? I can't decide....

I used three shades of Mill Hill Petite Beads--dark navy 42041, dark blue 40020 and the slightly purple tinted blue of 42040. I couldn't decide which one I liked best (although 40020 showed up best on both the lighter blue and darker blue areas of the robe) so I used them all.

I am indecisive today, so vote in the poll at my main blog whose address is below, ok? Thanks! Here's a larger photo of the entire design to help you decide.


UPDATE: I discovered Yahoo 360 has changed the poll. You don't see any results until you vote! That's new, or maybe how it displays has only changed for me as the blog owner. Anyway, if it seems no one has voted, it's probably because you haven't and Yahoo's not going to give you any hints to influence you.

The Little Asian Girls Went To A Good Home


I do know what happened with the two little Asian girls from Melissa Shirley. You may remember they decorate a lantern-shaped purse from Lantern Moon. They sold for $150 (yeah!) at the Live Auction at ANG's Seminar and went home with a friend of mine to Maryland.
Carry them in good health, Mary!

Anyone Seen This Santa?


Anybody know what happened to my little Santa ornament at the Silent Auction during ANG's Seminar in Indian Wells? I assume he sold but I don't know to whom or for how much. And I'm not the only person wondering....

Margaret Crane has a picture of her Santa on her blog and is also seeking information.

So if you were there and saw either Santa, let us know!

Look What Jane Did

I've been busy writing a stitch guide for Squiggee's little goldfish canvas. You can buy the canvas (the stitch guide comes with it) from Gail Hendrix's eBay store or at any needlepoint shop.

You can also find it by looking through Squiggeeland's eBay store.

Of course if you were paying attention here, you could just have followed along as I stitched, but sometimes it is nice to have everything organized in one place in hard copy.

Particularly if you are evacuating from the path of a hurricane! Stay safe, everyone!!!!
