Rumor Mill: Petei's Retiring UPDATED

The rumor mill says shops are getting letters from Petei announcing her retirement.  If you need to stock up on your Petei fix now (just in case no one picks up her line), here are some places to buy--Ridgewood says they will be putting their Petei canvases on their website later today.

UPDATE:  Ridgewood only has two Petei canvases left.

I don't know how many Petei Santa canvases and stitch guide kits are in stock at The French Knot, but I wouldn't wait to long to order your favorites.

Needlenook of La Jolla has three pages of canvass from Petei.  I think the Statue of Liberty one is particularly cute myself.

Lots and lots of Peteis here.  Oh, I like that donkey!  (Wait, some of the pictured items are out of stock.  Check the number before you try to buy.)

I'm sure there are more shops with lots of Petei goodies but I'm running out of time.  If your shop has a nice stock, please add a Comment or you can email me at chilly hollowat hotmaildotcom and I'll post the comment for you.  Thanks!

Little Monday Mystery on Thursday

I write Blog entries ahead of time, sometimes weeks ahead of the publication day. So I guess the fact that I'm just getting around to mentioning Laura Perin's latest Mini Monday Mystery posting on Thursday isn't too far behind!  Sorry.  It's a great lesson, with lots of customization tips from Laura.

Humphrey Bogart and Goldie Hawn

Donna has been busy. I'll let her tell the story in her own way....

Are You Thinking Storage Furniture, Too?

The Colorado Stitcher admired the same craft cabinet I looked at, but she went beyond admiration and bought it.  I am very glad to know that this really has to be assembled in total and is very heavy.  That means it's not a good choice for me, although it also means it is very sturdy.
