Guess Who Came By to Visit?

I was floored this morning to discover a Comment  by Manuel Salas left on yesterday's posting about Belleza's black dress.  Manuel Salas is the artist behind the Day of the Dead ladies that Tapestry Fair has reproduced on needlepoint canvas.  He said some very nice things, which were appreciated, and told me that more of his artwork can be seen on his Facebook page.  If you have a Facebook account, just type in "Manuel Salas" and he'll pop up.  Then you can click on his Photo albums and see a few photos of his work.  I think the photograph of Lupe is of the needlepoint version Peggi stitched in classes with Tony Minieri.

Here's the article with the comment, just so you don't have to hunt.  Isn't it amazing how the Internet brings people who ordinarily would never meet together?

On the Road with Sheena UPDATED

Those of you who have been eagerly awaiting Sheena's next Stitch of the Month posting on her witch hat version of ANG's heart shape design for this year will have to wait a bit longer. Sheena and her trusty Newfoundland Angus are on the road!  She's been having fun at Bedecked and Beaddazzled in the Baltimore suburbs.  I love all the photographs of the inside of the shop.  It's the next best thing to being there.

If you've not seen what Sheena's designed so far for her Stitch of the Month, here're the links.  She picked up supplies at Bedecked for the April and to use where ANG has heart beads.
