BREAKING NEWS: A Fund Raiser for Western North Carolina

Needlepoint.com, which was founded in Raleigh, NC (middle of the state), is having a fund raiser for the hurricane damage in the western part of the state near the Tennessee line.

I won't bore you with tales of the destruction which I hear from friends and relatives in the area, but trust me, it's horrible.  No power, Internet, running water, medication, roads--they lost it all.  So go buy something or donate to other charities that are trying to help the mountains recover.

UPDATE:  Needlepoint.com has raised over $65,000.00 to help those whose lives have been upended.  Thank you!

Melita went to a trunk show at Edwardian Needle where she was able to score project bags and a tissue holder from Trish Vine Designs.  The project bags are clear so you can see what you are grabbing as you run out the door.

Trish doesn't have a website but you can message her via her Facebook page if you are interested in her projects.

I had never heard of finger lights but they are little LED lights that you wear on a finger.  They are inexpensive and come in a variety of colors.  You can't replace the batteries in many of these and you should check to see if they work before you buy as apparently not all do.  This is the closest photo to what Melita bought that I could find.

The Edwardian Needle doesn't have a website now but you can call them and inquire about any products.
