Guess Who's Finished?

Belleza de Halloween, Manuel Salas' Art From Tapestry Fair

I'm sure morning visitors to Blog were somewhat shellshocked as I worked on the new look for spring. (Spring **is** on the way, right? RIGHT?!)  Colors changed, photos changed, things were rearranged.  But I'm cleaning house and making way for my newest project as my Day of the Dead lady is DONE!  Hurrah!

Belleza's stitch guide is written and now I am moving on to the newest thing.  Details on the stitch guide for Belleza are on the CH Stitch Guides blog.

What is the newest thing?  Well, you are going to have to wait a little to find out.

Happy Birthday (with Presents!)

Vicky DeAngelis is celebrating her second anniversary blogging with a nice giveaway of many brand new and cool items.  Just leave a comment to enter.

Never enter contests?  You'll still want to see the prizes as they are all new items:  a roll up and go bead tray from Sundance,  a polar bear magnet to celebrate Kirk and Hamilton's polar bear canvas that will be featured in the next Needlepoint Now, the new Bead Buddies box, Oli Clips (perfect for holding that chart next to the canvas you're stitching), and the Access Commodities project bag.  Even if you don't win, you might want to pick one of these up for your own stitching.

Happy Birthday, Vicky's Blog!
