Knock Knock!

Knock knock! Who's there? It's Sheena with stitches for a Halloween door and door knocker.

She's not feeling great right now (Send Good Thoughts people, rheumatoid arthritis is a horrible disease that is not life threatening but it certainly is life STYLE threatening!) but she is keeping busy inventing wonderful stitches and making some very cool scissors keepers that are prefect for those who need to keep their scissors handy.

Coven Tree Lane Has a Squeaky Gate

Lots of online shops will be showing off their Halloween designs this season but none does a more spooky job than Needlepoint Land.   Follow the directions until you get to the catalogue, then use the white arrows to the left or right side to navigate through Erin's offerings, some of which I've never seen before.

Passementiers

No, passementeirs is not French pastry.  It's better! It's French TASSELS and TRIM!

Tricia is right--this glossary of trim terms is a fabulous resource.  I enjoyed the article above a lot.  It's time travel right back to the 17th Century.
