| Retractable Scissors Holders |
Once again, I have some fun things for you to see. Tanja Berlin's latest newsletter has some beautiful new tools that are unusual in that they have abalone shell accents. The link below takes you to beautiful retractable scissors holders shown above you clip to your shirt or the edge of your canvas. Some styles have the shell, some have flowers. Scroll down a bit and you'll see a lovely laying tool inlaid with abalone. Scroll up to see cheap but sharp scissors, then down again to see other fascinating tools, from a spool holder for folks who are tatting to two sharp stilettos perfect for your favorite cosy mystery sleuth to find buried to the hilt in a corpse. [Fiction only, please! We don't approve of real life violence in CH.]

If you prefer sales to scissors, then you'll want to keep an eye on the Canvases Be Gone site. During September, all the canvases in the Floral category are on sale. Canvases Be Gone specializes in selling excess stash at terrific prices. Contact Dale if you want to sell or buy.

Speaking of excess stash, Fireside Stitchery has a new service called Fireside on eBay. They will sell excess stash for you through their eBay store. The details of how this works are listed here.

There's a Princess and Me trunk show going on at The World in Stitches in Littleton, Massachusetts. There are photos on their blog (their website is under construction). The more you buy, the better the prices. Email Randy at twisinc@comcast.net for details if you can't drop in to see the show.

If you are broke like me because you've already indulged in the above, we can still look at the latest Amy Bunger newsletter for free. September 2010 is a PDF file. Click and enjoy all sorts of things, from a stitch-of-the-month diagram to a glimpse of Tony Minieri's latest project, to the latest stitched canvases in the Kelly Clark Halloweenies series.

Don't forget to vote in the poll at the top of Blog to choose the Patt and Lee canvas I am going to stitch next. Right now the Pirate Cat is beating back a surge in votes for the Asian Inspiration Sampler. I am unsure which canvas I'll stitch. Sure the Pirate Cat jumped out to an early lead, but the Asian Sampler is coming back....
