I'm just sending a note to say these folks at Raise the Roof designs were really nice about helping me get my lost "Scooba Dooba" information replaced. Not that they're in the business of sending out replacement charts for freebies - but I sent them a note about losing the chart, where I bought...

Traveling to the TNNA trade show just held in Long Beach was more of a vacation than I imagined.....the most noticeable treat was leaving 14 degrees, ice and snow to balmy temps, sunshine and waving palm trees of Southern CA. We did some fun shopping at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa...

To add insult to injury, New Orleans had a couple of tornadoes go through last night!!! This is almost unheard of, especially at this season. The forecasters had warned us of thunderstorms, but last night I was more afraid than I was during Katrina, which I rode here, or Rita, which I rode just...

I visit my daughter and would like to be able to do needlework when she is out or busy. I would like to do the needlework in my hands rather than a frame of some sort. There is not a good needleworking light in her house, and the best chair for needlework is not near an outlet. She has a three...

The other day I was just coming out of a local used bookstore where I had just purchased some needleworking books and walked past the 'vintage' used clothing store down the street. I happened to notice in the window a box of embroidery threads and just had to ask if it was for display or for sale....

All, What's a father to do when his daughter works sooooo hard to create a brand new knitting blog...and nobody has come to visit it yet? Of course it's wonderful and you all should go check it out. She is a recent college grad with a math major who would "like to publish a math paper on the...

It's half way through the year, and time to take stock before Xmas throws us all into a dither. How many projects have you completed and what is your favorite project so far, finished or unfinished? So far, all I've finished is a crazy quilt chicken pincushion, and my favorite project is Elian...

Now that we are once again happily settled into our home (albeit, lots of boxes are still awaiting my attention) I'm SO ready for a good day of S.E.X.! I literally did not pay a bit of attention to the results of the January show, nor have I been near a shop since before the fire. I like samplers...

A Geeez whiz moment......caught a segment on HG-TV Tuesday night, believe the program is titled Decorating Cents. Anyway.....the interior designer was using a piece of needlework that was once a lovely Elsa Williams needlework design sold in The Stitchery catalog during the late 70's or early 80's...

Has anyone tried any charts from the Beautiful Threads designers? From what I can see of the pictures from different web sites, the charts are very elaborate and look almost as good as photographs. Of course, we all know what you see online is not necessarily what you get. If anyone here has...
