Deco Kitties on Sale UPDATED

Bestitched has two Deco Kitty kits available if you were tempted by their Vicky DeAngelis class but couldn't attend.  They are on sale, too.  Wish I had more time.  If I did, there would only be one left as I love SharonG's work and what Vicky choose for it in the stitch guide.

UPDATE:  Vicky talks about this canvas on her blog.  Looks like just one Deco Kitty still needs a good home!

More Sales UPDATED AGAIN

It's that time of year. Shops are trying to sell old stock to make room for the newest things they plan to order at the TNNA market in late January. The first sale I heard about is at Peacock Alley in Michigan. All in-stock canvases (including their monthly clubs) are on sale at twenty-five percent off.  Books and threads are on sale at twenty percent off.  This sale ends January 28.

Needle Bug in Alabama will be closed for inventory January 2-4 but when they reopen, they plan an inventory sale January 5-6.  No word yet on what will be on sale or for how much, but if Needle Bug is your drug of choice, stay alert.

UPDATE:  Here are the sale prices at Needle Bug.  Looks like there are going to be some real bargains.  (Hint:  Check out What's New which has some darling magnets.)

Alex Paras Needle Arts is planning an online only sale on January 8th.  All in-stock items will be at least 20 percent off.  To get the sale price, you need to use the sale code WINTER at checkout.  Note that this is for the online shop only.  The brick and mortar shop Thistle Needleworks is not participating in the sale.  (Thistle owns AP Needle Arts.)

UPDATE:  Thistle Needleworks is having their own in-shop sale Mid-Winter Madness Sale January 6 and 7, then the online only sale is the next day.   Judie didn't want you to think that only their online customers had a sale.   Everyone, whether you visit Thistle in person or Alex Paras online, gets to participate in the sale, just on different days.


As I get e-newsletters mentioning sales, I am posting about them here.  If your favorite shop is having a January sale I don't know about, please mention it in the comments or email me at chilly hollow at hotmaildotcom and I'll post a comment for you.  Thanks!

Visiting The Summer Garden

If you have snow, gray skies and cold weather bothering you today, why not visit Terry Dryden's site and see her latest design, Summer Garden?  This will be a teaching piece once it is finished.

By the way, Terry occasionally sells some unique scissor fobs and threader sets.  You can admire them here.
