A Source for Making Up Needlepoint Shoes

Lynn has found a place in Thailand that will finish needlepoint designs into slippers.

Lynn texted back and forth with Sumet at the company.  He helped her create a template and after she stitched the needlepoint uppers, it took about a month to make her shoes.  The company also does belts and purses.  Lynn says the quality is superb and the pricing reasonable.

Unique Bead Trays

Bedecked and Beadazzled in the Baltimore, Maryland suburbs now carries unique bead trays.  The trays have a clear cover held in place with magnets and are shaped like animals and insects.  The one on the website shows a bee and its and hexagonal comb, which is where you can store various colors of beads.

I've also seen one that is shaped like a cat.  All the trays are divided and made to sit on a table as they are the size of your hand or larger.  They are perfect for a project with multiple colors and sizes of beads so you can segregate the various beads and cover the tray when you aren't stitching.
