Melita is stitching Peg Dunayer's Triangle Santa Ornament from the November-December 2007 Needlepoint Now magazine as a stash buster project. She's run into a thread coverage problem but solved it very cleverly.

Peg's website is currently down as Peg moves it to a new home, but keep checking back for more delights from her clever mind. It's definitely worth a visit!

Sadly, the issue of NP Now that Peg's clever Santa instructions are in is no longer available for purchase from the magazine, but there's always eBay!

New Shop, New Magnet
Fans of Facebook's Needlepoint group known as Needlepoint Nation (membership 5400 and growing!) had a special surprise this morning when the brand new website for tools Needle Little More opened officially featuring a newly designed magnet, just for NP Nation members.
http://www.needlelittlemore.com/store/p471/The_Needlepoint_Nation_Magnet.html
Of course the shop carries many other items. I am looking forward to their fully stocked stitch guide section myself but if you are a laying tool or magnet collector or just need accessories of some sort, this is a good place to visit.
Disclaimer: The shop sent all the administrators of NP Nation (which includes me) one of the magnets as a thank you for setting up and administering the Facebook site. We don't profit from the sale of this unofficial NP Nation item in any other way. The bar magnet on the back side is exceptionally strong, almost as strong as my earth magnets. The enameled heraldic design has a lot of meaning, which is spelled out on the card the magnet comes on. It's a fun thing to wear on your name tag at guild meetings or at Seminar if you frequent Facebook and are one of the NP Nation citizens. Or you can just decorate your current project with it to corral your scissors, laying tool and needles.

Finishing Friday: Books!
The theme for today's Finishing Friday is books! How about this book themed stand up?
http://ridgewoodneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2014/06/eloise-finished-here-is-great-way-to.html
I also saw mention of this bookend tutorial on Facebook. It would be a great way to finish a needlepoint canvas.
