Madonna's blog just announced that Pocket Full of Stitches in Texas has new owners starting April 1. We already knew this but Madonna has the details on her blog,

and more information is on the PFOS website. This is excellent news! The shop has long been a favorite of folks, particularly for their monthly clubs, and it is good to know the owners will be able to retire and leave the shop in hands of two of their employees. Good wishes to all.

In other news, I'm still futzing around with my list of NP blogs. I am having real trouble posting Ruth Schmuff's blog address. It's Not Your Grandmother's Needlepoint has moved here,
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2010/02/its-starting-to-look-magical.html
but Blogger (which hosts Blog) can't find the new address, even if I enter it on my blog list. People who click on the link to Ruth's blog get the Dreaded Not Found message. I took down my blog list at lunchtime today and reposted it, trying to figure out a way to add Ruth's new address so you can visit, and finally gave up. Ruth has put her new address on her old blog, so if you click on the link below, you'll be sent to the old blog and then redirected. I'm sorry you have to do this in a roundabout manner, but Blog refuses to go to Ruth's new URL directly even though the new blog is hosted by Blogger just like the old one was. Ruth hasn't given up, though. She may figure something out and if she does, I'll link to the new blog directly.
Blog won't let me move the blog list to the left column, either. It is still at the bottom of the page. Sorry, folks. Sometimes the Mysteries of the Blog are not solvable by mere humans!
UPDATE: Madonna has found if she clicks on the title of Ruth's latest blog posting, the blog is found normally. If she clicks on the name of the blog in her blog list, she gets the error message. So if one uses Blogger and has both the blog names and the title of the latest posting up and running, you can click on the title of the last entry and make it to Ruth's blog.
I don't have this enabled as I have too many blogs listed to have their latest postings listed, too. But anyone who uses Blogger and wants to list Ruth's It's Not Your Grandmother's Needlepoint on their list of blogs can try this work-around. Thanks, Madonna!

Hi Jane, Thanks for sharing me joy with your readers. On Ruth's new website link; I can reach her new web address no problem from my blog IF I click on the post title, not the blog name. If I click on the blog name I only get the page not found page. Weird. Definitely a Blogger issue. Thanks for mentioning this. I'm really enjoying Elmer and all that you're doing with him.
Jane,
Just tried to remove and readd Ruth's blog to my own blog and had the same results as you did, so I simply deleted it until the problem has been fixed.
