Finishing Friday

I've enjoyed collecting finishing links to publish on Fridays. I am not fond of doing my own finishing but I do it especially for small stockings, ornaments and some pillows because it is much cheaper.  Therefore I love finishing tutorials.  They help me improve while saving money and also show just how skilled the professionals are.  Who knew a little scissors fob needed so many steps!

If you love dollhouses, then you'll love the rug and chair set that two of Janet Granger's customers have done.  Janet specializes in designing miniature kits.

Time to Write Our Stitching Wills?

Debbie Rowley of DebBee's Designs has a point--we all need (me included) to come up with a plan for what happens to our stash after we die.
