Christmas (and Halloween) in July

It's Christmas in July over at Stephanie's blog, where she showed off some dynamite finishing by Kim Hollifield.  I loved beaded edges on ornaments but I never would have thought of something so clever as this.

Unique New Zealand Goes Halloween

Peacock Alley is partnering with Unique New Zealand for a whole series of Keep Calm canvases.  My favorite this week is shown above but they come with many sayings. If you have a Facebook account, look for "Peacock Alley Needlepoint" and then search their Wall Photos picture album.  Your own shop might order a custom for you from Unique New Zealand or you might want to see what Peacock Alley has in stock.

P.S.  Keep Calm fans may enjoy playing with this.

Help! This link to Steph's blog yields "Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist." Sorry to bother you, but I thot you'd like to know + I'd really like to see what caught your interest.

Well, that's odd. The posting is gone! It is still in my Google Reader, so Stephanie removed if for some reason. Instead of posting a photo since she must have had a good reason to remove it I'll say that it was a Christmas ornament edged with stacked beads that resembled Christmas lights. There was a bugle bead at the base of the stack and around bead at the top. The two beads were the same color but each stack varied in color like a string of multi colored Xmas lights. It was very cute and interesting!

Coni's blog says the same thing so it must be the blog they use.

Alas, they both use Blogger which is what I use. {Jane bursts into tears.]
