Storm Prep

Mary Agnes at Needle Nicely is a pro at packing for her Florida coastal store to withstand water damage from hurricanes.  With Hurricane Matthew in the news today, I thought you'd like to see what she's written about her preparations.

Anyone who endures constant power outages will agree with Mary Agnes.  An old style plug-in phone is a must.  (We own two.)

Keep your fingers crossed that everyone in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas stays safe during and after the storm.

Bloomie's Does Needlepoint (Badly)

I can't say that I like this one much. Even the stitching doesn't look that great.

I think I'd pick up a small canvas on 13 count (like the one below), stitch it in basketweave from my stash, then make up a pillow using a velveteen remnant and I'd still have something much nicer for about the same price.
