The Needlepoint Snowglobe

I heard from a friend about the snowglobe finishing The Wool and The Floss does and managed to track down a photograph on their shop Facebook page.  The finishing is unique.

Of course you'll need a matching snowglobe needle minder....

Wings from Just Another Button Company

Just Another Button Company has a new set of pins--and they are wings suitable for bees and moths!

You'll need a substantial body to pin the wings to, but these are a delightful addition to just the right needlepoint canvas.
