The Travel Trunk Show

Needlepoint.com in Raleigh, NC is doing a different sort of trunk show--a travel trunk show! They've assembled a whole group of small ornaments and mini socks for every travel destination you can imagine and are offering them at 20 percent off.  The designers seem to be mostly Silver Needle and In Good Company, although I might have missed another designer in the group.  I was too busy looking at Egypt, Georgia, Istanbul, Maine, Scotland, Venice and Paris!  I don't know how long the trunk show is at the shop but if you are shopping via the Web, use "travel" as the discount code for the Internet shopping cart.

It's All About Balance

If you ever feel discouraged that a piece isn't working out well, take heart from Kelly Clark, who is having trouble balancing the various elements of her Thanksgiving swag. All the parts have to work together but it looks to me that she has it licked. http://kellyclarkneedlepointhandbook.blogspot.com/2011/09/finally-back-to-work-on-rebekkha.html

Blogger's Poll Not Working

It looks as if the poll system isn't working.  It keeps giving folks with Google accounts the message that they have to be signed in to vote, although many of us ARE signed in.  Grrrrrrrr

Sorry.  This is a problem beyond my ability to fix.  If you want to vote, email me at chilly hollow at hot mail dot com and I'll keep track of what you like to stitch best, then post the results in a few days.  It's always interesting to see what sorts of designs people are drawn to.
