DMC's Newest Storage Chest

DMC has what they describe as a "vintage wooden chest" for sale (they include 500 skeins of cotton floss and a printed color card) to use to keep your cotton threads organized.

If you need a way to corral threads, this might be for you.

Just Because I like Bird Houses

Paulette at Family Arts Needlework has stitched quite a few of the Kelly Clark bird houses for classes she's teaching at the shop.  I think they are lovely!

I enjoyed watching the slideshow and thought you might, too.  If you are interested in one of Paulette's classes, contact her through the shop.

Rosie Goes Rogue

Rosie's been stitching a Lorene Salt chart and changing colors and stitches.

I like her changes a lot.  If you are charmed by this one, it's still a teaching piece only but Lorene Salt has plenty of charts available to browse.

New Monogrammed Scissor Fob Kits

Abigail Cecile has added custom monogram scissor fob kits to her store.  You specify the monogram you want and the kit will arrive with Essentials wool-silk thread from Planet Earth.  This makes it a fast project for a gift or a good one for a stitcher just learning.

Eye of the Needle Talks Beginning Needlepoint

Mimi at Eye of the Needle has a nice encouraging article about learning to needlepoint on the shop website.  I'll put this link in the tab about teaching yourself needlepoint and embellishment, but I thought if you are new you might like to read this right away.
