Somehow I didn't manage to write an article for Blog this morning. But not to worry, it is easy for me to talk endlessly about needlepoint on the spur of the moment. Since the TNNA wholesale trade show is happening right now, I'll just mention the things that have caught my eye. This simple little Zecca skull would be fun to embellish the heck out of.

I'm a sucker for Nativities, so the mini Nativity by Kathy Schenkel has great appeal for me. The little figures are on pages 4-5 of her updated What's New section.

I also love the two new Nativities from Tapestry Fair. One set is domed and in a modern style. You can see one piece here on their blog. This might be an Egyptian Wise Man.... I don't have photos of the other, sorry. It is an enameled Russian set, each piece inside a circle, or at least that's how I describe the style!

I also like the new Halloweenie characters from Kelly Clark. There is a witch and (my favorite) the Grimn Reaper.

I think the Peter Adderley cat and dog canvases from Maggie are going to be big hits.

I also have become charmed by one of the Melissa Shirley Woodland series, the owl and acorn trees.

I also like her Winter word scene. Icy!

Mindy has a gorgeous ecru piece called Asian Bamboo. The Lani botanicals are lovely but they aren't whispering my name like Mindy's bamboo is.

Colleen has also posted what she especially liked--Lani's shoe canvases (these stitched are to die for!) and her koi, new Amanda Lawford complex abstract florals, all of Leigh's Femme Fatales, and two Zecca pet canvases.

Like her, I thought the Melissa Shirley little vintage style Irish children charming and the peacock jar is to die for. The Debbie Mumm tiny round Halloween ornaments (especially the cat on a fingernail moon) would be great quick fun, and I like John Johannsen's floral heart. That would be wonderful to dress up in ribbons and wire!

I love (and ordered) the Irish kids from Melissa (they now need some cracker companions), the new Halloweenies, the stitching witches from Melissa, the Halloween pears from Kelly and have to continue looking to find other favorites
I'm on my way to check out Kelly Clark's new Halloweenies right now! There is a lot to love, isn't there!?

I'm with Palma. I think the Irish kids are adorable and I have no needlepoint for that holiday. The village scenes from Melissa Shirley really caught my eye. Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. For some reason, I desperately want the birdhouses at Ewe and Eye. The colors are beautiful. Who knew I could go crazy over birdhouses. I want some of those sweet little hearts from Melissa Shirley. What else? Amy has some pastoral scenes on her FB page. I don't know the designer, but the look very Americana. Going to look again!
So many goodies, I love the colored boxes from Amanda L and the Zecca..every cat needs a home. Of course ALL of the Melissa Shirley goodies, Lanis shoes, Leighs Femme Fatales, so many so little time (and finances)!! Jeannine
Just checked my site, and all the nativity pieces are on the NEW page now. Thanks for the mention!
Oh, good! You know I am a sucker for Nativity sets, Peggi, so I will head over and check them all out ASAP. You are welcome, by the way. It's my pleasure to see, enjoy and share everything new and fabulous!
