This is just a brief note to let you know the latest shop newsletter from Needle Works in Austin is up on the shop website. I especially enjoyed seeing more of the pretty glass magnets from Lee Cox but there are gorgeous canvases galore to admire and some neat scissors, too.

Needle Nook of La Jolla has photos on their home page of the Julia Snyder class pieces. Both are Christmasy and both look like a lot of fun. Click on either for a closer look. You'll remember Julia as the author of three tall, narrow spiral bound stitch dictionaries.

You can see Julia's books here. Again, click to embiggen.

All three of these shops have the latest Amy Bunger DVDs in stock. The 7th in her How'd You Do That? series is about woven stitches (half of it is taught by Amy and half by Kelly Clark) and the 8th is about spider web stitch and all its variations.

I also have both DVDs here. Review copies arrived courtesy of Amy Saturday. Once I've hand time to watch #7 twice I'll write a review of it, then move on to #8. So stay tuned!
By the way, the photo above is the view out my dining room window looking towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. If there weren't so many leaves, you might get a glimpse of the Shenandoah River at the bottom of the hill. I took this two weeks ago and by now many of the leaves have turned brown. Being mostly oak trees, they will gradually lose their leaves over the next three months instead of dropping them all at once.
Anyone have a hankering to rake leaves?

I love your view! I drove out to Berryville recently and enjoyed the colors along the Greenway. Let me know if you find anyone to rake your leaves; I've got quite an accumulation of them myself.
I showed my husband the picture and he said "when are we going to visit her?" LOL We'll bring rakes.
Besides rakes, bring lots and lots of patience, Nancy. There are more trees in my yard than there are people living in this county.
Sara Leigh, we may have volunteers! (See above)
I don't rake many leaves. The wind blows them away in most cases.
