My Newest Geisha

My Newest Canvas Magnet

I've added a new geisha to my collection.  Isn't she cute?  She will be perfect for my next Asian canvas.  Sadly, the geisha magnets only come in pink, but since I love pink, that isn't a problem for me.   If it isn't a problem for you and you need a geisha magnet too, you can pick one up at Bedecked and Beadazzled.  They aren't on the website but Ruth confirmed yesterday that she has them in stock.

Free Hanukkah Projects (and More)

Kreinik usually releases free projects each December to celebrate the season. This year is no exception. There will be twenty-five Christmas projects this year, one released each day from December 1-25.

However, the great thing is that the company realizes everyone isn't Christian.  They are also celebrating the Eight Days of Hanukkah with menorah projects.  Kudos to Kreinik for celebrating with us all!

By the way, Kreinik is partnering with Gone Stitching to create free stitch guides for either the Stitch-a-Pen or several Gone Stitching painted canvases with Hannukkah themes.  Details are on the CH Stitch Guides blog. You can visit there by clicking on the magic carpet picture in the right hand column on this page.  Clicking on the same image at the CH Stitch Guides blog will return you here.

Rittenhouse Speaks: Learn Basketweave

Rittenhouse's Stephen has posted a video teaching basketweave on YouTube.  If you learn best by watching, this is a great visual aid to understanding backetweave.

Wendy has also done a basketweave video.  Sometimes one person seems more understandable, so if Stephen's lesson doesn't quite click, listen to Wendy and see if it helps to have another teacher.
