Live Every Week Like It's Shark Week UPDATED

Shark Week!

Discovery Channel's Shark Week has gone into our common language with a lot of fun sayings and--of course!--needlepoint designs.   I thought I'd collect the ones I know about for your stitching pleasure so you can celebrate sharks in stitching style.

Kathy Schenkel has a darling mini sock, complete with felt shark insert.

Kathy has also put sharks on a tooth fairy pillow, complete with pocket. The second link below is a finished pillow from Barbara's Needlepoint.

Rogue Needlepoint has two round ornaments, one of which you see above.

If you want something more realistic, Waterweave has a superb underwater portrait of a card shark.

For a more whimsical look, how about this floral shark?

If you are in a rush for the perfect summer belt, this Tucker Blair "Jaws" pre-made belt might be right for you.
https://greatlakesprep.wordpress.com/2011/08/01/tucker-blair-jaws-needlepoint-belt/

Or maybe a key fob? This one is a pre-made item from Smathers and Branson.

Melissa Prince has a movie coaster for Finding Nemo with a pretty large toothy shark.

There is even a shark needle minder available from Rogue Needlepoint!

For finishing, you can find real shark's teeth and shark tooth charms all over Etsy.
https://www.etsy.com/search/craft-supplies-and-tools?q=shark+teeth

Lampwork shark beads are also available, although they are usually rather large.

Have fun and keep your teeth to yourself!  Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go scare myself silly in front of the TV.

UPDATE:  Donna noticed I missed the Jaws movie coaster from Melissa Prince Designs.  Thanks!

And Now A Word from Our Sponsor

I don't actually HAVE a sponsor but since Blog was created to a) show folks stitching painted canvases isn't that hard, and b) to promote the shops/designers/thread manufacturers/tool makers/authors who add spice to our lives, occasionally I stop and ask myself if Blog's still doing the job.  Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is no.

This morning I thought I'd ask shop owners directly if things like the Canvas of the Day, the tab for trunk shows and sales, and the monthly clubs area help them.  Do you think folks visit your store after you have a mention on Blog?  It's a lot of work to update the Trunk Shows and Sales area each morning and to reorganize the Monthly Clubs section, not to mention having to find Canvas of the Day items from all over the Internet without repeating any one shop too often.  If it's not working, I'd like to know.  If you have any ideas about how I could improve Blog, I'd like to hear those, too.  You can leave a comment here or email me privately at chilly hollowathot maildotcom.  I won't quote you anywhere.  This is just to help me improve Blog.

In other topics, today starts the annual Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, so I have sharks on the brain and for the Canvas of the Day.  I absolutely adore the Shark tooth fairy pillow from Kathy Schenkel Designs but those Waterweave underwater shark designs are pretty amazing.  KSD also has a charming mini sock of sharks and a startled swimmer (second link).

Today is a big one for the fans of Dr. Who as the next Doctor will be revealed at 2 p.m. today on BBC America.   I know from my time stitching the Tardis for my niece that there are plenty of folks stitching designs from the series so I thought I should remind everyone of this television milestone for the series. By the way, looks like Rogue Needlepoint has heard all the pleas for a Dalek canvas.

Finally, last week was a busy one for the CH Stitch Guides blog and the Loretta Spears blog.  A lot of Loretta's work turned up on eBay, including a design I'd never seen before, and there was a lot of stitch guide news.  If you are a fan of Loretta Spears, click on the tab to find the link to that blog to read about the latest there.  If you haven't visited the CH Stitch Guides blog in a while, just click on the photo of the magic carpet in the right hand column here and you will be carried to that blog immediately.  When you are finished browsing, click on the magic carpet again and you'll be back at Blog.

And as always, thanks for showing up here daily.  It's nice to know other folks are as fascinated by needlepoint as I am.
