Mini Mystery Mondays Return

Laura Perin is back with another Monday Mini Mystery design, this one in greens and blues and gold.  I waited a bit to post about this Mini Mystery so I could have quite a few links to share.

New Charley Harper Canvases

Charley Harper's art translates very well into needlepoint, so his funny animal canvases are always great favorites among the NP set.  Bedecked and Beadazzled just posted the latest designs on their blog.

The TNNA Report: Saturday We Shop!

Saturday is the actual opening of the TNNA trade show, with all the booths full of shop owners trying to figure out what to buy their customers.  Colleen at Needle Works is so excited she can't sleep.

Good thing because she noticed that Melissa Shirley has updated her website with new designs.  I wasn't going to check until this afternoon!

Colors of Praise has updated their site, too.  Sadly, the amazing white birds rug that What's The Point? posted an image of on their Facebook page is not pictured.

Although most of the newest things are not there, Kirk and Hamilton have posted new florals on their website.  These will knock your socks off!

Speaking of Facebook, check Chaparral Needlework's site for new photographs.  Raymond Crawford Designs has also added snapshots of shoppers in their booth.  I'm using official Facebook names here so you can search out the pages and Like them to keep up with changes in your News Feed if you have a Facebook account.
