A lot of shops have updated their blogs with news of their new offerings. If you are a monthly club fan, you'll want to see the newest models for both Needle Works' fish and angel monthly clubs.

Needle in a Haystack has a lot of new (and some old favorites) back in stock. The shop maintains one of my favorite online resources--photos of all the threads they stock. If you need to mail order threads sight unseen, this is very very useful.

When Tisha of Needlepoint Tool Time went to the TNNA show in Phoenix, she hit shops along the way. Here's her short review of Needler's Nest which is located in Surprise, Arizona. If you follow the link to her website, there's a slide show at the bottom of the home page showing her new tool purchases for her shop.

Ruth Schmuff of Bedecked and Beaddazzled has photos of the most unusual pillows I've ever seen. Whether you'd ever want to stitch this Zecca set, it's still something to see!

On The Hunt For Sheep
 |
| Sheep canvas from Julia's Needleworks |
Actually, I'm just posting a request for this canvas in case any shops that visit Blog have her in stock. This is a roughly 4x4 inch canvas on 18 count by Julia's Needleworks. Email me at chillyhollow at hot maildot com if you have her hiding out in your shop (or unwanted in your Stash of Delights).
Thanks!

The Two-Toned SOTM
If you've been listening to folks at the ANG email list decide to do their SOTM project in a cat or square or any other shape than the original heart, you probably thought things couldn't deviate any more. WRONG!
Scarlet Thread has come up with a two toned colorways for the project, which is red in the original model. They have restocked the purple, red and blue color sets they have assembled, too. Check it all out here.

The inventiveness of needlepointers is beyond anything you can imagine!
By the way, Scarlet Thread is working the SOTM project slightly differently than in a heart shape. If you want to do something a bit differently, you might like to see what Sarea Leigh says about her progress.
