Amy Bunger's shop newsletter for March is online, full of fun new things to look at! She shows off photos of two new sets of Victorian Kids from Melissa Shirley (Easter kids and Irish ones for St. Patty's Day) plus an Easter house, photos of new colors of various threads from Rainbow Gallery for the threadaholics (including a glow in the dark orange Neon Rays Plus), new magnet styles and buttons both with an Easter flair, and a bonus bunny Easter Egg drawing you can transfer to a piece of plain canvas and stitch according to Amy's instructions. If you've ever wanted to try one of Amy's stitch guides, this is a good way to indulge yourself, although you will have to buy some of the newly introduced threads or substitute from your stash if you are being thrifty this month.

There is also a review of Julia Snyder's newest book, Great Layers for Needlepoint. Plus Amy talks about the use of counting pins and does a mini review of the new ones from Puffin and Company. There is also a sneak peek at the stitching on the Anne Cleves section of the Home Study canvas Amy is going to offer in 2013! This is a Tudor-themed canvas for the English history buff from JP Needlepoint. If you thought about taking this class from Amy but haven't signed up yet, read this section carefully.
Bedecked and Beadazzled's newsletter is ready for viewing as well. Besides all the wonderful classes and the new cupcake club from Melissa Shirley, Ruth shows us how to brick stitch bead and explains how that looks compared to regular beading where you attach beads like tent stitches. Then she shows off new canvases that are arriving daily.
