New Kreinik Colors (That Are Fatter)

Kreinik has three new pastel colors in sizes 16, 12 and 8 brand (but not in size 4 yet).  Note their warning that these threads are a tad fatter than usual, I imagine because of the materials they are made from, so if you normally like size 12, choose size 8 instead.

Breaking News: DebBee's Designs is Moving

Debbie Rowley is packing up and moving from Arkansas to Oklahoma!  That means DebBee's Designs is going to be a tad busy for a few weeks.  So if you don't hear right away when you ask a question or place an order, it's because Debbie is laying on the floor, moaning after hours of unpacking.
