A Special on Magnets at Mythic Crafts

This week I got an email from Mark at Mythic Crafts. Mark's the woodworker who does those fabulous boxes and slate frames.  Mark says, 

"I'm going to be doing a promotion on Friday which your readers might be interested in. I have several different strengths of magnets for my needle minders and I'm not sure which strength will be correct for each style of embroidery. So all orders on Friday the 8th of Sept (regardless of value) will get 3 free needle minders ($60 value), one in each strength. I'm hoping the recipients will give me some feedback on the style of embroidery they are working on and which strength they found the best. The needle minders they don't like will make nice fridge magnets I guess? I'm happy for people to leave a comment on the order as to the needle minder style(s) they'd like to receive, or if they just want a random selection (which may also include some unreleased ones). Random selections will likely be the carvings I like the most haha.

I also have a popup on the website that shows up after awhile to offer people a 10% off coupon in exchange for a facebook like, or subscribing to my non-spammy mailing list. They are welcome to use this with their order too."

Here's Mark's site so you can browse and be ready with your order tomorrow.   Happy shopping!

The Owl's Tummy Project

Ruth Schmuff's summer mystery class was Sandra Vargas's "Owl with Key." The owl's tummy was covered with an elaborate beaded flower with a Czech button in the middle.  Now Ruth has made a standalone kit of this beaded flower for those who want to have a stunning pin or who just want to play with something totally different.

Czech buttons are widely available on eBay so you can learn the process from Ruth's kit, then do another with a button of your choosing.  For example, here's a stunner owl button.
