Kansas City is Happier Today

The folks in Kansas City, Missouri are a little happier this month because there's a new needlepoint store in town! Sue posted photos of the new establishment, so don't miss clicking on the thumbnails to get a good look.

Don't forget to bookmark the shop website so you can visit again and again as KC NP grows and hopefully thrives! (By the way, they already have a nice assortment of accessories including the useful thimble stick on pads and plenty of self finishing bookmarks to use in teaching someone to stitch this summer on raining days when "Mom, there's nothing to do!")

I think we all stitch to get through hard times, don't you?

Both Sides of Bunny

Ridgewood Needlepoint just got a shipment of double-sided bunnies in the shop. These remind me of the MCM two-sided dressed rabbits that had the sweetest faces that are no longer available.  If you are a MCM fan, you might want to look into these.  Ridgewood doesn't say who the designer is. Sorry.  I'd like to credit them for these very nice rabbits.
