Another Day to Celebrate!

Actually any day filled with stitching and needlepoint is another day to celebrate!

So what exactly are we celebrating? International Left-handers day! Now even though I am not a leftie, I have been told by many a teacher that I stitch…especially basketweave as if I am a left handed. Go figure!

These are new scissors by Premax, which is a centuries-old company of artisans in the mountains of Italy. These scissors are primo cutting implements—sharp, smooth, quality, long-lasting.

I love my Premax and have since added to my stash with Carnivale, which is the scissors on the left. Then there is Purple Haze, which sometimes comes out blue and Spring Dreams.

Even those these scissors are not specifically designed for a left hander, Premax does design many for the leftie!

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. I’m ambidextrous…I thread a needle both ways, needlepoint right-handed, write right-handed, but do activities requiring strength left-handed, like bat a ball, serve a volleyball, bowl. I have a serious scissor collecting habit, but I don’t have a Premax….yet. Alley Cat sure has attitude! In a good way, of course.
