I'm beginning to pack to leave for the Thanksgiving holidays but I thought you guys might like to have a little fun browsing the Internet while your turkey cooks.
On Thanksgiving Day, Jane Zimmerman plans to have a few special items for sale on her website. If any of the Thanksgiving Special items don't appeal, browse the two Needlework History articles instead. One is about English Medieval embroidery and I plan to read it the next time I put down my French Medieval Cat in the Pet Guardian Angel series.

If you aren't a chart person, how about checking out the new monthly Petei Santa club for 2009 at The French Knot? You can read about it in their latest newsletter here and discover other treats in store.

Have fun browsing while I'm away. I will be back Sunday.

Pearl in Her Glory
Here is Pearl with her head wrap and her yakuta stitched. Her hair is done also. I tent stitched the hair with one ply of Soy Silk in black, then on top of it I stemed stiched tendrails of hair that flow the way real hair does. Pearl's hair and the geisha's overlap some, so I had to decide where one stopped and the other started. The designer put a slight line of gray between the two that I used as a guide.
I am happy with Pearl's looks even though laying the sea green 4 plies of Mandarin Floss smoothly across the padding lines was tedious and time-consuming.
