I'm not getting much done in Chilly Hollow due to my work obligations but there's a whole lot of stitching going on the Blog-o-sphere.
Barbara Bergstein has just finished her mermaid canvas (see Feb. 18, 2009) for a purse and has started a seahorse (Feb. 20). Her seahorse posting is especially interesting as she talks about the things she must consider as she chooses threads for this new project. You might enjoy scrolling down and reading about the Silk Lame thread (mermaid tail) and Boucle thread (mermaid's blonde towsled curls) she used on the mermaid project as well. Lots of fun going on at Barbara's blog!

The Linda half of the Stitching Sisters just got her latest project back from the finishers--it's an amazing stitching toolbox. This you have GOT to see!

Anne Stradal has posted another tutorial on blending colors for a sky on her Cape Stitcher blog. It shows off one of her beautiful lighthouse canvases very well and tells you something of its tragic history.

Finally, Pat has finished her Tudor Dog in the household pet guardian angel series. It will go off with its brothers and sisters to the ANG Auction in Milwaukee next fall to raise money for ANG programs. Someone is going to love this as much as I do! Thanks, Pat. Your dog and rabbit are simply beautiful.

Hopefully I'll get some stitching done this weekend so I can add wonderful items to Blog also.
