All About Vicky

There's a new article up on the Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides blog.  This time I profile Vicky DeAngelis' stitching and guides.  You can either click on the link or find the little flying carpet photo in the right hand column and click there to be magically transported to my other blog.  Have fun looking at all of Vicky's prize winning stitching!

Can I Get You An Appletini Or A Zombie?

How about a Bellini?  No, I'm not taking drinks orders this early in the morning.  I'm just listing some of the names of bead mixes that SJ Designs offers.  Pocket Full of Stitches has posted photos of their entire line of mixed bead sets on their website.

I haven't seen the bead mixes but I do like their regular satin finish beads which come in tiny little boxes in varying sizes.  The 11/0 and 14/0 beads are of the most interest to needlepointers who like 18 count but they have what looks to be a nice line of pearls and trims and they also sell charts and a limited line of painted canvases.  There are a lot of colors in the larger 11/0 sizes but the 14/0 colors available are very pretty.  Here's their website for more exploration.  Don't miss the 2mm limited edition pearls and the used books!
