Daphne Goodyear and Friends UPDATED

I've mentioned Daphne Goodyear's website before but she's updated it with stitching from her friends.  Friends like Lee Cox and Sonia who are wildly talented.  Give it a minute for each page to load.  Many have slide shows that take a bit to get downloaded and start playing.

Daphne herself does absolutely incredible Melissa Shirley Wild Women portraits.  They are worth visiting again and again if you are stitching people, just for the ideas and creativity Daphne puts into her work.

This is a site to bookmark and visit on days when you want inspiration with your morning beverage.  It's terrific that Daphne and her friends allow us to gawk at their work.  And gawk I do--it is a wonderful "feast for the eyes."

UPDATE:  Sudu took my suggestion to visit Daphne's website and ran with it.  She turned up a book by Daphne and so much more!  Clever Sue....

A Review of Robin King's Stitch Guides

Needlepoint.com has posted a series of articles on their blog about stitching Robin King's Creepy Creatures Halloween ornaments. Those are the candy-corn shaped designs from Needle Deeva.  There are tips for stitching each character as well as a review of Robin's guides, so I posted an article on the Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides blog yesterday that tells you where to find this information.  Here's the direct link, but you can always head to the CH Stitch Guides blog by clicking on the magic carpet image in the right hand column here.

And of course if you are at the CH Stitch Guides blog, you can return to the CH Needlepoint Adventure (aka Blog) by clicking on the magic carpet photo on that site.  Clever, huh?  LOL
