Last night somehow I never got around to stitching anything on Cape Cod Dogs. There are nights like that for all of us when things are too hectic or we just don't feel like stitching. I read and watched tv instead. A change in your routine is good for all of us occasionally. That's why vacations are so popular! So last night I took a mini vacation. But that doesn't mean I don't have things to talk about.
First up, Needlepoint in Paradise (in Naples, Florida) has photos of the Susan Porta gingerbread house class. I don't know if this is an upcoming class, two different gingerbread houses (it looks like the front and back to me), or any more details but I'm sure NP in Paradise will be happy to answer your emails.
They are also doing a monthly candy cane club. If you happen to be in the area, check it all out.
I've seen some fabulous silk gauze designs recently. Here are Janet Granger's teacosy kits, which are delightful.
But the Elizabethean casket reproductions in silk gauze are marvels of both stitching and cabinetry skill.
If silk gauze isn't something that appeals to you, how about Harry Potter in cross stitch? The free pattern is courtesy of The Guardian, a British newspaper, and probably timed to publish when the latest Harry Potter movie came out last month.
Finally, if you were wondering about the fabulous design that introduced this entry on Blog, it is Vases by SharonG, stitched by SharonG for a class she's teaching in September after the ANG Seminar. More details about the class and this piece are on her blog.
