Today is Newsletter Day, with wonderful newsletters (and terrific Christmas sales) from both Amy Bunger's website and from Needle Works in Austin, Texas. Here are the links in alphabetical order.
Anyone else think that Robin King's little witch canvas (in the Amy Bunger newsletter) looks just like Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series?
Interestingly enough, both newsletters mention a new tool called The Parking Spot that sounds fascinating--a combination laying tool holder and needle magnet. It's a donut shaped magnet that holds needles with a spring-loaded gadget in the center that grabs onto your laying tool. If you use small magnets without the power to hold your metallic laying tool or want something that will grab onto wooden or bone laying tools, this is something you'll be interested in. Check out the photos in each newsletter to see these in action.
Janet Perry has quoted what seems to be a Kreinik official notice about the discontinued Natural "tea" colors on her website. If you can't find any of the 4000-4006 series at your local shop, she lists colors Kreinik says will substitute until they can get replacements. Thanks, Janet!
I'm still stitching away on O'jishi but my Internet connection is wonky this morning, so I will wait to post progress photos until the connection is more solid. Stay tuned!
