Get Ready

What's the Point? just got back from TNNA, took a good look at the shop and decided there's not room for everything they bought in Phoenix. So tomorrow (January 29) they are having a half off sale on all in stock canvases from 2-5 p.m.  I expect to see that Dublin, Ohio had a huge traffic jam on the news Sunday night.

TNNA Report: More Websites Updated

Now that the excitement of the TNNA show is over and everyone is home, with most of their laundry clean again, folks are taking the time to update their websites with new eye candy. The Whimsy and Grace site shows off the very elegant round Christmas ornaments and large stars we saw photos of earlier in finished form.

Needle Works has kindly posted a catalogue page showing the newest Painted Pony pieces.

MAP Designs, which has followed the trend of cat canvases, has their whimsical Cats in the Arts series.

Waterweave has posted their 2012 pieces here.  They do lots of animal pieces.  I particularly like Seahorsin' Around but other folks will like Pirate Sheep or Star Pig or fall for their patterned heart ornaments.

Visiting the SWANs

I think the tiny bird is delightful and of course I love the Shelly Nativity.  I'm a sucker for Nativity sets!

You can see the various designs they offer at the NeedlePaint website.  NeedlePaint specializes in turning your photographs into a custom needlepoint canvas.  I've not seen any of their work personally but it is a service that a lot of folks are interested in.  We all have those precious photos stashed away that we'd love to stitch one day, after all.
