Thank you to our very generous contributing sponsors! Thank you for making our classes at TNNA possible. NeedleDeeva, Rainbow Gallery, Planet Earth Silk, Colonial Needle and Sundance Beads. The beads are so carefully packaged and the threads from Rainbow Gallery, rather than all of one thread placed together and packaged…they were assembled one of each color in a little bag! Made it so much easier.

Is it time yet? Time for what you ask? I am so ready for market to start! It is a really late date this year and I am anxious to see everybody…anxious to see all the new designs, new accessories, threads, bags and more canvases. It is definitely like being in a candy store! Be still my heart…

Almost everything is ready, stitch guides are printed and assembled, thread packets put together and checked and rechecked, finishing is together and ready to go…I am just waiting for the finished hearts to be sent overnight and many boxes of Needlepoint Now magazines to arrive for distribution at the show. I hope that mail service doesn’t disappoint!

I will reward myself with some afternoon stitching of the Deeva Christmas Hearts while watching the last holes of the golf tourny at Torrey Pines. It was so foggy Saturday, that they suspended play…so it will continue today. I could actually go in person and they are not even charging for tickets. It is a beautiful sunny day and it is very tempting, believe you me. It is tough when work gets in the way!

I was finishing up my thread kits yesterday and what do I find? Somebody’s catnip mouse..

I guess she was sending a message, since I was using “her” box. AlleyCat, I didn’t see your name on this?! and until next time…keep on stitching
