Gone (Stitching) with the Wind

If you adore Scarlet O'Hara and have read Gone with the Wind more than once, you will fall in love with this Labors of Love canvas.

Here is the unstitched canvas.  That will help you appreciate what The Enriched Stitch's teacher has done.

Stuck on Magnets?

If you love needle magnets and have a nice little collection stuck to the frig, fear not! Ruth Schmuff has lots of ideas for how to display and store them.

I've also seen a great tip somewhere (sorry, I can't locate the source right now) on using those metal cookie tins to keep your magnets.  Open the tin and fill the inside with magnets, including the lid.  Close the tin and it looks like you have a pretty display tin on your bookshelf.  Now if I can only find the cookie tin in the kitchen...!
