Hi there.  Well, after a few days of wild weather and very strong winds we all seem to be sporting a new hair style, and the washing pile is mounting as nobody is quite brave enough to put it on the line.   Ah well…more time for stitching!

This week I thought I would show you this very cute little kit we have put together for the ‘Everyday Stitcher’ from Birdhouse Designs.  The kit contains everything you need to create both the needlebook and pincushion for just $19.90.

We also have a great deal on the desktop rechargeable magnifier light from Triumph which is just $59.00 usually $69.00.
