It's the first of July (or it was when I wrote this) and that means shop newsletters! The first published was Amy Bunger's. Besides glimpses of her Tudors Home Study lessons, there are new magnets and canvases galore to admire. I am not a fan of the metal magnets from Puffin but the dual pumpkins are adorable and of course there are flashy rhinestone magnets from Elizabeth Turner Collection and Accoutrement Designs if you need bling like I do. There are a few darling scissor fobs as well as a wonderful Wild Women canvas (Melissa Shirley Designs) of Queen Elizabeth I with astounding lace sleeves.

The Bedecked and Beaddazzled newsletter is available today as well. Besides the news about Ruth Schmuff's wonderful mystery classes, she explains now to make wonderful curls using Wonder Ribbon. There are also glimpses of new canvases to enjoy as well.

The Use of a Burling Iron

The Stitching Destashing blog had a pair of burling irons for sale this last weekend. I didn't know what they were, although they look a lot like tweezers, so I did a bit of research. Here's what Marion Scoular has to say about them.

Folks who like to do Jacobean-style crewel embroidery and those who create historic costumes for the 16th Century already know about Renaissance Dyeing's wools, but for those of us who don't fit into either category or want to learn a bit about dyeing threads, here is a wonderful interview that talks about the natural dyes the company uses to create historic reproduction wools.

The second link below is the Renaissance Dyeing website. It is a great deal of fun to explore. See the wool colors that Henry VIII, William Shakespeare, and their contemporaries would have seen every day!
