Sorry I couldn’t resist with the title today…somedays it comes to me right away and well somedays I really need to work at it and today was one of those really need to think.

More new colors of Silken Straw…or Silk Road Fibers Straw Silk. One of my new favorite threads!

I have stitched a beach house roof with it, a haystack, bristly brooms in a natural color and my latest I used Ocean Floor to give Mrs. Cat an aged looking broom that was full of soot!

The new colors are Ciao Bella, a grape wine color; Blue Lagoon, a great water color; Tarnished Brass, a gorgeous golden hue; Sterling, the first gray in the line and Olio d’Oliva, just like the first press of EVOO.

You may see this thread out there with 2 different labels…but rest assured it is still the same! I am on auto-ship from The Needlepointer as new colors come out, they show up in my mail box.

How about some new colors of Pepper Pot Silk? Cinnamon and Sriracha. They might look wonderful in the tile floor of this canvas:

Moo Chef by Annie Lane. This is one of the Annie Lane canvases that we will be working on in my next classes at Wellesley and Enriched Stitch. Stay tuned!

Now you see how the magnet looks just like the canvas, Danger Lurks by Annie Lane. This reminds me of a cat of mine that has long since crossed the Rainbow Bridge… well he thought my big beautiful asparagus fern was a great nap spot!

It never ceases to amaze me… AlleyCat will be sound asleep for hours, did I say hours? and just let me decide it’s time for a little ice cream, and guess who shows up? and she meows till she gets a taste!

and until next time…keep on stitching
