Go Red!

Quite a few shops are participating in the American Heart Association's Go Red With Thread fund raiser this month. Most of them are having events on Saturday, February 13, but Enriched Stitch had their event last weekend.  OOPS!  I promised Suzie to mention it, but life got in the way.  I've been exceptionally busy in the last two weeks with Real Life issues and I missed the date because I thought I had plenty of time.  However, Enriched Stitch's event doesn't officially end until Friday, February 12.  So you have a few more days and you can check with other shops in your area to see what they are planning.

Sorry, Suzie.  Life got away from me in the last two weeks.  Congratulations on the money you raised and I hope you and your fellow shop owners raise much more.  After all, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.  We've lost too many stitchers before their time to this scourge.

Finding Time to Stitch

Gay Ann Rogers has some great ideas on carving stitching time out of our busy days.

Magnets on the Table Please

Accoutrement Designs shows off some of their new magnets (love the monkey!) as napkin ring decorations.  Guess I'd better pull out my silver napkin rings and see if my collections of magnets will stick to them!
