Painted Canvas and Other Treats from All Over

I've been collecting fun little painted canvases and some other things from here and there, ably abetted by my spies. How about a mermaid pirate?

Or Chinese lantern canvases?

Are you a romantic?  Here's a sweater fit for the Duke of Windsor (who needlepointed, by the way).

This double scissor case is a favorite of Pat Correz's.  If you don't know Pat, you are missing a real treat!  She's a force of nature who also happens to work behind the scenes for both ANG and EGA to bring us stitchers Seminars, classes and other wonderful things.  Since Pat travels so much, I can see why she loves this little protective case for her embroidery scissors.

Drinks with Julia

The title should have drinks (and mermaids and a witch and convertible and cake) with Julia but that's too long. To see what I'm babbling about, head here--

Robin Goes to Alabama

Robin King is teaching at Montgomery's Needle Bug. I sure wish I was there. Montgomery is a lovely small Southern city.

Why am I suddenly hungry?

Blog Hates Me

This morning I finally gave up and removed the header photo on Blog. I accidentally uploaded the wrong photo several days ago but have been unable to remove it. When I try, I lock up my browser. Apparently this is a common complaint. I suspect that it is because I haven't upgraded my system to the latest operating system that just came out. Litlte things have been happening ever since the new browser for the new operating system became available. I did download that, and am paying for it in little quirks and now bigger problems.  There's been a patch that tries to fix the browser freezes and it has helped but has not solved all the problems.  Probably Blogger did something this week that is compatible with the new browser but not with the old ones.

UPDATE: Got the correct photo to load in the header by deleting the old photo, saving the header without any photo, then going back and uploading the photo I wanted to use in the header.  WHEW!

I've also just learned that the slide show program I use (slide.com) will disappear, taking my slide shows with it, next March.  So I am now in the market for a new slide show program.  Several blogs I follow use Smilebox but I have to download a program to run that, which I am loathe to do.  Any suggestions?

I also am unable to download a new version of Firefox.  I don't usually run Firefox but I wanted to update the old version I have in reserve for websites that simply won't work with Safari.  So I deleted the old Firefox in preparation for downloading the new one but the new Firefox won't install.

I am not a happy camper.  I think I'll go stab my current canvas with a needle about a million times and see if I feel better!

The Wedding Cake

Lots of folks stitch ring bearer pillows for weddings, but no one has done anything as spectacular as this wedding cake design!  This is a discontinued canvas from Maggie, by the way.  Many thanks to Vanessa, the goddess owner of Ridgewood, for discovering who painted this beauty so I could credit the designer properly.
