It's Saturday morning and I have a day full of chores planned, but while it is still dark outside, I thought I'd sit down with a cup of coffee and visit with Ruth Schmuff. She's sent out her latest e-newsletter and it is full of things to enjoy.
There are lots of Shelly Tribbey pieces at Ruth's shop website. Her things are lovely but the Lion and Lamb ornament caught my eye as Peace and Brootherhood are two things I'd like to see under my tree Christmas morning this year. This small ornament comes from Ruth's page of in-stock Shellys.

If you want to see more, either visit Shelly's website, or Ruth's shop in person. Ruth has a Shelly trunk show there until 10/26 and she says Shelly sent a lot of stitched models. Now that's something I like to see!

You can find how to reach Ruth's shop just north of Baltimore at her website. This is the What's New Page, which you'll want to explore first. Don't you just love those abstract sheep canvases? I own Pumpkin Man by Mindy already courtesy of a rare visit to Needlewoman East. It actually might be a good thing I don't get to real shops very often!

Don't miss the Needle Vials on the What's New page. They are a very colorful way to keep your needles tidy! I posted a photo from the newsletter above. Aren't they wonderful?
Finally, Ruth has finished stitching a double-sided peppermint Santa from Melissa Shirley. It is in one of my very favorite color schemes and done with beads, silks and crystals. You can pick up the front canvas only, or both, and they come with a stitch guide. All the goodies and threads necessary to stitch like Ruth are also available as a kit. Follow the link on the What's New page for details or just skip all that and head to Ruth's blog to see a nice photo of the Santa stitched, front and back. Can't wait to see him finished! Particularly since later today I'll start trying to make up my standup wizard Santa.

Ruth, next time you come over could you bring donuts and that Santa?
