Just Occasionally I Am Glad I Don't Travel

I'm still putting links to new products/canvases/charts in the TNNA tab (which I made PINK so you could easily spot it on the mess that is Blog) but I thought you'd enjoy reading the adventure that is Sandy Arthur's trip to TNNA here.

Air travel is quite an adventure!  Sadly, I like "predictable" when I get on an airplane....

Better Sandy than me, that's all I have to say.

Finishing

Janet Perry interviews the wildly talented Pat Mazu about her original shaped designs she creates for her family each Christmas.

Speaking of finishing (Pat's written a good book on finishing), you will enjoy seeing Diane's new Christmas bell and blue Santa ornament.

How to Lace Your Stitching For Framing

I found this nice little tutorial on how to lace your stitching for framing at Anna's blog.  I think needlepoint canvas is treated pretty much the same way as linen or other embroidery fabrics.  She's the editor of Inspirations magazine, by the way. Hope you find this helpful in getting your stitching just the way you want it before you pop it in a frame!
