Dogs Leave Pawprints and Gingher Evelyn

 Lois, at Nedlewerkes, sent me a picture of this adorable finish last night and I just *had* to share! I love how they did the finishing!!! The pattern is MBT-172 Dogs Leave Pawprints and it was stitched for the Austitch Charity Auction with all proceeds going to Service Dogs Inc. The box is by Lone Elm Lane and I'm in awe of their creativity and the craftsmanship of the box. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I did.

I have been busily working on accessories and sending out trunk shows to various shops. Not much stitching has been happening in my life, but I'm glad for the mild Texas temps and things that are keeping me on my toes. We're still getting fresh tomatoes from the garden and I'm treasuring each one as I know the season will soon be coming to an end. 

Gingher released their new Evelyn scissors and I have both a long and mini fob to match. Also created are oodles of coordinated accessories if you so desire to add them to your stitching stash! From left to right there are coordinated perfectly pretty pins, a regal pin that is great for stitch picking, needle threader with clasp, thread keep, matching marking pins, a thread hopper (up at the top with the two needles and corded thread), winged specialty pin, and mini fob. 

The thread hoppers/counters are hopping out of inventory and I've been refreshing things with new color combinations and new beads. I've added in some new pin sets and hope to get pictures done of those next week. This week has already disappeared from my grasp and it's only Thursday!
