I imagine a lot of needlepointers aren't familiar with the lovely whimsical designs from Lula Chang of Wooly Dreams.. It's a shame that they aren't more widely available! Look at these—

Annie and Company has some pieces in stock…

…and so does Needle Works. I also see pieces on eBay a lot. They are worth looking for as they are lovingly painted little jewels.

But this morning I want you to visit Lula Chang's website and read about her designs, and how she got into needlepoint design. Start here and read one page a morning, then click on the arrow at the bottom to go to the next. Lula is great company over your favorite beverage!

UPDATE: I have been told that Lula Chang died in 2014. What a loss! My condolences to her family and friends. Her needlepoint designs are charming. I will have to pick up one while I still can to stitch in her honor.
