A Word to the Wise

The Stitch Style blog has a word to the wise about dye lots—and how to use the extra stitching to best effect. A matching key fob will be fab, won't it?

Does your dog hide your threads?  Mine don't, but I think they have people over when we aren't home.  I am constantly cleaning bathrooms here in Chilly Hollow!

My Handbag Has a Belt

Actually it is Suzanne's camera bag with a needlepoint belt converted into a strap. It is a very pretty thing, and I'd carry it all the time if it were mine!

P.S.  My belt has a new style of buckle.  I think these clip and hold without a hole.  This isn't "my" belt, you understand.  (Too bad!)  I am just making a play on words.

Robin's Last of TNNA Baltimore

Robin has been so busy since she returned from the TNNA show in Baltimore that she is just now reporting on what she saw and did and ate there.   First, she saw lots of wonderful things, from her newest Needle Deeva piece to new magnets from Accoutrement Designs, new canvases from Barbara Bergsten, new Viola bags with NP straps, and of course more of the wonderful variety of Keep Calm canvases from Unique New Zealand.

Then if that wasn't enough, Robin went to Bedecked and Beadazzled and taught.  (And bought--what can I say?  I would have, too!)

She's not the only great teacher they've just had visiting.  The weekend after the trade show Brenda Hart was there.
