Ehrman Tapestry

Yet another craft I've long been wanting to try..needlepoint and embroidered pillows. I've had the Ehrman Tapestry magazine sitting and mocking me for the last year as I try to decide whether or not to give it a go. Of course, I would like to get to the point where I could just make my own patterns, but I always feel like I have to do a few patterns first to get the hang of things. Have any of you attempted needle-pointing? Is it as hard as it looks??

Walking Parasol

Well, the day has come. I officially can not be outside without an umbrella anymore, lest my skin burst into flames. I walked to work this morning with a face lotion with an SPF 15, makeup with an SPF 15 and SPF 70 sunblock on and still got a little burnt. Geez. So, although we do have an amazingly large number of umbrellas at home, I thought I would shop around for some more cute ones..just in case any of you are in the same boat as I am..




Admittedly, the two clear ones (Cath Kidston and Lulu Guinness) wouldn't help me with my sun issue, but aren't they super cute? However, I think I would pick the blue with red flowers for my summer walking parasol. All of these lovelies can be found at brollies galore!

New Fabric!

New fabric! And can I just say that the pics do not do that galvanized shot cotton justice at all..it is a gorgeous blue/orange mixture that also happens to be super soft..
