A more detailed Tour of Missouri, then more cross stitch
While escaping from Hurricane Ike, DH and I found in Missouri a cosmic collision of bicycling and cross-stitch. How often does a professional bicycling race coincide with a TNNA trade show? Ok, there’s a chance it might happen every year now, but since this was only the second year of the Tour of Missouri and [...]

Evacuation Vacation
It has been quite busy lately around the Cross Eyed Kat lair. First, there was all the prep work to do for the St. Charles Market aka the Fall Needlework Market. Once I got everything to this state, I still had to do the printing. This was a bit tricky as I was running low [...]

If it’s not one thing, it’s another
First the Russians, now hurricanes! Thanks for all the good vibes from everyone. My brother and his family are doing fine, having spent a week as refugees in Armenia (it wasn’t all bad, apparently the hotel had a pool, so the kids had fun). They are now back in Tbilisi and keeping an eye on [...]

My post, it got eaten
I did write yesterday, honest! Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared into the ethernet! Anyway, I reported the story of how the stitching went to a high school graduation over the weekend: Wow – graduating class of 2008! Now I do feel old. Also, everything is bigger in Texas, so there were over 660 in [...]

Sneak Peek
Ok, I can’t resist. Here are some peeks to give a vague idea of what is coming out: What do you think? Ok, those are actually small snippets of the designs, not the whole things. And the new Ancient World sampler isn’t shown; it is still at the model stitchers, but I hope to have [...]

T-minus 7 days and counting
Seven days until I leave for the NeedleArts Market in Columbus, OH. This is supposed to be the big tradeshow of the year; it is held in a convention center and brings cross stitch, needlepoint and yarn together as well as anything else that might be used in those pursuits. I’m not sure how it [...]

The story so far
In the last entry, I showed y’all how the booth was put together. I probably should have mentioned that all of that stuff, plus class kits and clothes got to Long Beach in my two suitcases. The chair was attached to one of my suitcases and I carried it on and put it in an [...]

Jet Lagged
I am tired and I am blaming it on the jet lag. It is only a two hour difference between Houston and LA, but it is an important two hours. For instance, the two hours is helpful when getting up early on the west coast. Being ready by 8 am really means being ready for [...]
