BeSttiched Does Christmas UPDATED

BeStitched is making a special effort this year to have needlepoint gifts ready for shoppers.  They do gift certificates, of course, and...

...they also have a pre-packed needlepoint set, ready to unwrap and stitch!

If you have a stitching friend who'd love this, or you think you might have time to teach someone to stitch over the holidays, this is a good way to start.  Of course I bet your local shop would be willing to do something along these lines, too, but not everyone has a shop close by.

UPDATE:  BeStitched has added a post-Christmas delight box--a Melissa Shirley angel.

To put us all in a holiday mood, here is Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, played on Ben Franklin's invention, the glass armonica.

Need a Laugh?

If you need a laugh, check out the signs from the Stitch-Its trunk show at the Enriched Stitch. I don't know which one made me laugh hardest! 
http://astheneedleturns.com/stitch-its-signs/

Maybe "A Fool and His Money Are Fun to Go Out With"  or maybe "A Clean House Is A Sign of A Broken Computer."

It's hard to pick just one!

Oh, how about "Don't Treat Me Any Differently Than You Would The Queen"?

LOL
