As she promised, Vicky DeAngelis has posted a bead tutorial on her blog. She has some great tips and shares her technique for making the rows in a solidly beaded area all line up straight.

Callaway School of Needle Arts for 2012
I just received the following email announcing the January 2012 classes at Callaway. I'm quoting it in full for everyone to enjoy and perhaps plan for.
"The Callaway Gardens School of Needle Arts website has been updated with the 2012 classes. Check it out!
The Callaway Gardens School of Needle Ats will be held January 15-25, 2012. This is a ten-day event, featuring classes with the top needlework teachers in the field. There are two sessions of classes; each session offering two-day and four-day classes. There are also some great one-day classes, which are scheduled for the day between the two sessions. Class offerings include canvas embellishment, silk and metal, geometrics, contemporary needlework, color and design, Japanese embroidery, beading and counted thread. There's something for everyone!
There is also a boutique run by Barbara Jackson, and The Dogwood Chapter of the EGA oversees the bookstore and Merchandise Night. All great places to find items that you can't live without! The Dogwood Chapter also runs a wonderful exhibit, which always features top-notch entries.
Callaway Gardens is located in Pine Mountain, GA, 75 miles southwest of Atlanta.
Interested? Take a look at the website at http://www.callawaygardens.com/needlearts
You can take a look at all the classes, read the class descriptions and download all the forms for registration. You can also call Pat Callihan, the Needle Arts Coordinator, for information or help in registering for classes. Pat is in her office on Wednesdays, and you can reach her at 1-800-7-NEEDLE. Her e-mail address is: pccalli@callawaygardens.com.
I've recently added photos of the classes to the Callaway Gardens Facebook page, and I try to update the page with the latest updates from time to time. So if you're a Facebook person, you may want to become a friend of Callaway Gardens and keep up!!
I'd be happy to answer questions or help with whatever I can."

Did you enjoy the short article Rittenhouse posted about leather accessories a few days ago? They've written another article about even more quick and useful projects.

Pocket Full of Stitches is showcasing all their real estate. Painted canvas real estate, that is! Stitch the house of your dreams without ever having to worry about a leaky roof, mowing the yard, or raking leaves.

Scarlet Thread has restocked the Threedles Cat's Eye chart and now offer full kits for two of the three colorways. Even if you aren't interested in stitching a version of this award winner, check out the colors that go into each version. It's amazing to see how little green and how much copper makes up the Cleopatra's Eye version that I saw and admired so at this year's Woodlawn Plantation exhibit.

Tisha Has Wooden Legs
Labels:
floor stands,
K's Frames,
Needlepoint Tool Time
No, Tisha isn't the victim of a terrible accident and she's not studying to be Peg Leg Pete the Pirate. She has the new wooden base for the metal K's floor stand!
http://stitchplaywithneedlepointtooltime.blogspot.com/2011/05/wooden-legs.html
I have this stand myself (although I use the original metal plate) and adore it. I know some folks want a different base however, and the K's Creations folks always listen to their customers, hence this new option. Here's the website so you can browse a little and see all the options and frames available.

Blogger May Be Fixed
Blogger is mostly (and I emphasize "mostly"!) fixed. I think. All the posts are back although not in the right order. We'll see if everything publishes tomorrow correctly. I'm not going to change the Canvas of the Day until then.
