Why my husband no longer buys me presents.

ROFLMAO

P. S.  For those who want to know how Einstein and Queen Elizabeth 2 dealt with Christmas presents, Franklin presents this video.  "Vogue Knitting is crazy town."

Visiting John Johanssen at Home

Melissa Shirley Designs just posted a series of photographs of John Johannsen's art studio on their Facebook page.

Melissa licenses some of his art to reproduce on needlepoint canvas.  Until I saw his studio, I never really understood the painted canvases. WOW!

I hope those without a Facebook account can view the pages above, but believe me, it is worth signing up just to tour that studio.

Shapes of Needlepoint App

I read on the ANG email list that Sandy Arthur's new book, Shapes of Needlepoint, is now available for download as a smart phone app.  It looks like it is available from iTunes and from Sandy's website for iPhones (not Android phones) and iPads.  It works for some iPod Touches also.  I would email the author if you have a 3rd generation iPod Touch but the 4th generation Touch probably works with this.  Check to see if your device is running OS 4.2 before you pay for this.

UPDATE:  I've heard from folks who use this on their iPads.  They say it runs, but you have to click on 2X to resize it and it doesn't look as good on iPads as it does on iPhones.  Just so you know....

It's a Miracle! (With Music)

This morning was livened up by Robin's video demonstrating her flat iron technique for straightening Neon Rays.  See the thread with the bends from being wrapped around the card?  See the flat iron for straightening your hair?  See what happens when you combine the two?  Magic!
