Traveling with Needlepoint

This is not what you think. Instead of taking about taking needlepoint with you in your suitcase, I have two articles about Robin King's travels to teach needlepoint. It's a fun look at shops from the eyes of a teacher.  First, Robin drove to Nashville Needlepoint from Memphis.  It's further than you'd think.  Tennessee is a long state.  When I was a little girl it took ten hours to drive from the east side to the west side.  With the Interstates in place, you might make it in eight hours now.  Luckily Robin only had to go from the west side to the middle of the state.

For her next trip, Robin headed to Atlanta.  This time she flew right into the heart of Southern Hospitality.   It's more powerful than a hurricane, the Southern woman welcoming you into her home!  Robin had a great time here, too.

Think about the teacher's travels the next time you take a class.  They enjoy going to a new shop to teach just as much as you enjoy going there to be a student.

Fun Making Scissor Fobs UPDATED

Ada loves beads. She recently went bead shopping for items to make scissor fobs, which she sells at Bedecked and Beadazzled.

Sadly there are no photos on the Bedecked and Beadazzled website but it you give them a call, I bet they can arrange for you to get the scissor fob Ada made that is calling your name.

UPDATE:  More fun fobs from Ada.  She also posts photographs on her EyeCandy Facebook page as well.
