While I Futz With Luna's Hair

While I test stitch hair stitches to see which plays nice with Luna's cloak lining stitches, here are some things of interest for Blog readers.

First up, here's a review of Sandy Higgins' finishing book, which has been in print for many years because it is a classic.  If you are interesting in finishing your own needlepoint, you'll want to consider buying a copy.

Needlepoint Tool Time has the new small colorful sequins in stock.  Tisha had a little accident when taking a photo of some of the available colors. I had to laugh at Robin's comment that Tisha has created the Assortment Color Pack by dropping the camera!

Are you curious about how to use sequins in NP?  Check out what Denise did with a lovely Raymond Crawford ornament.

Finally, if you just want a little eye candy to enjoy with your morning cuppa, Stitch By Stitch has a lovely gallery of finished pieces to enjoy.

Shouldn't that be Raymond Crawford instead of Robert? Or is there a new designer that I need to check out???? :-)

Of course you are right, Carol. Thanks for catching my error.

That Stitch by Stitch photo gallery required me to spend FAR too much time admiring all the gorgeous needlepoint! What inspiration.
