Simple Sunday with Needle and Thread

Friend Card Tutorial

Need a card for a friend?  Or maybe you want a card for "just because." This design is colorful and quick, but is sure to show just how much you appreciate your friend.  Who would you like to give a card to?

Product of the Week: Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper

This is one paper I couldn't wait to get my hands on!  The Needlepoint Nook DSP is vibrant with many different colors that coordinate with the paper.   It also features photo-realistic prints that look just like embroidery.  Each paper has an embroidered pattern on one side, and then stitched line work with a solid-color background on the reverse.  Perfect for spring and floral paper crafting, but the line work is excellent for more masculine needs too.
