Sneak Peek Time!

Here is a sneak peek of some new designs that will be released next month!

"Marshmallow World" is based on one of my favorite Christmas time songs-- I like Dean Martin's version the best!  

The lyrics:

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year around
Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze

Oh, it's a yum yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, but if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world


I also love The Wassail Song, with it's chorus of "love & joy come to you, and a Merry Christmas too!"  I imagine the carolers going door to door along this row of festive townhouses.


For the cat lovers, I have nine new designs with a travel theme including passport covers, luggage tags and travel rounds.  Here's a peek at Paris:


More peeks to come before the end of the month, stay tuned!

A Couple More Blogs of Note

Sharing two more blogs I love today, hope you'll take a peek at them both!


 The Twisted Stitcher
 is mainly a cross stitch blog, but Vonna is also a professional finisher who very generously shares her methods and techniques, many of which work for needlepoint as well.  She is a genius at organizing and shares her expertise there too.  You'll also find reviews of just about every stitching frame & lamp there is.  All that plus recipes and very inspirational stitching in this very well written and thoughtful blog!



Just Another Button Company You may have seen and used JABC's cute buttons on a project, but have you seen the fabulous ideas and projects featured on their blog?  You have to check them out! Not needlepoint, but lots of felt, embellishing and other ideas and inspiration that could easily translate into needlepoint.
