POLITICS!
Thank goodness this is over for a bit. I could not open my computer without taking a tremendous amount of time clearing off political ads. I hope you are happy with the results and we can move forward! Support our President - because he is the President of our great country - not because of his party lines - at the time I am writing this I do not know who that will be. That's about as political as I get online folks.
LONG NECK FRIENDS
Okay, it's official. Besties (Ostrich) of the Long Neck Friends Series is officially an Online Mystery Class. The first session is tentatively scheduled for mid-February. Canvases are in stock for a normal sized class so get yours ordered or spoken for early. Contact your LNS!
For those who can't wait for future lessons, be sure to check out her buddies! There are currently 3 and more on the way!
So we have Dragon-Fli (Miss Dragon with her friend the butterfly), then there is Best Friends - Miss Flamingo who has no short supply of friends including the affectionate gecko and the adoring ladybug, and the Best Friends Giraffe who is infatuated with her friend the snail. Your LNS can order these and other new designs by contacting duodesignsinc@yahoo.com. To see some other offerings check out the webpage at. http://duodesignsinc.com/wpsite/
LAST CALL FOR PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY!
Only two more days until we start our class of the delightful Peanut Butter and Jelly by Two Can Arts. This class is being hosted by Art Needlepoint and will be posting for 7 weeks - one lesson a week beginning Monday, November 9 - yes! this coming Monday. Can't wait!
Mercy! I love these guys! For some reason they speak to memories of my youth on the farm in Appalachia. I believe you may still sign up for the class but you may need to be patient for a kit to be prepared and get to you at this late date. But that's okay. I'll still be here for you and there will be no 'behinds'. We all work at our own pace. Here's the link to sign up for these cuties:
SPECIAl PROJECT - LIMITED ! !
We are stepping out of the box on this one in order to offer something other than the Mystery Classes. This class will push the envelope a little!
Have you wanted to learn to felt on needlework?

Stump work
Felting on needlework
First : This class involves a full kit option: hand painted canvas, threads, roving, felting needle, beads, ribbon, wire, muslin, all stitching supplies to complete the project, plus step by step instructions that are downloadable and ready for you at your leisure.
Second: This class involves a second optional kit that has all the above MINUS the hand painted canvas (as some have their canvas).
Third: This class involves a third optional kit of upgraded felting tools for those who do not have them or who want to experience them at this time. (The kit does include a felting needle and temporary mat so you can do all that is required for the class so never fear - this option is just if you want more.). I find the tools are helpful for toleration of my rheumatoid arthritis flairs.
No extra roving included - roving shown to identify tools.
Fourth: As a stitcher you will need to have on hand from your stash 6" embroidery hoops, sundry sized needles including beading, chenille, bullion (needed for the length), tapestry - many sizes, normal stitching supplies such as scissors - to cut fabric and wire, etc. More details provided to enrollees as needed.
Fifth: This class will move more quickly than the normal online classes hosted by us. There will be a session posted every other week until the project is completed. These sessions are posted in a secret Facebook Group to which paid participants will receive an invitation to join.
FIRST SESSION: December 3rd.
NOW! Here's the issue. This class is open to a limited number of students as when the kits are gone - that's it! So email your interest and you will be added to the notification list - this notice will advise that invoices have been mailed so all are notified at the same time. Once invoices are sent the kits will be distributed in the order of payment received.
ONLINE MYSTERY CLASSES
The long awaited Two by Two - Noah's Ark themed canvas - arrived from Strictly Christmas. Oh my - each area is a project by itself. The stitching I have already done has not disappointed! Can't wait to share with you. First session is scheduled for mid-January 2021.
Here's a closer look at those sweet zebras in the upper left corner!
My goodness gracious! (Ever hear your mama say that?). Look at what Raymond Crawford did to our last American Train Car!
I love it! We have a totally patriotic car for our class and I couldn't be happier. This will be such fun. The first car - the engine - will begin mid-March. Be sure to get signed up for the notification list right way . Also be sure to contact your LNS and get your canvases ordered. Make sure you have them ask for the USA car for Sandy's class. They may say 'Sandy who' but Raymond will know which one to provide. (While there are now 4 cars to the train, we will not be doing the one with the wreaths in this class so only need to order the 3 - Engine, Liberty Bell and USA.
Needles 'N Fins Stitching Adventures
If you have been watching that sort of thing you will have noticed that the CDC has shut down cruise ships sailing from/to the USA, then they released that restricting and opened up sailing, then recently shut us down again. We continue to plan our Island Hopping in Hawaii Stitching Cruise. I will confess, however, that it is very difficult for me to remain optimistic about this one. Hawaii is very picky about letting new arrivals come ashore. As we get developments we will share them. In the meanwhile we continue stitching on the optional class kit! We think you will like it. It covers a lot of territory.
So, I am off to turn on the TV and see if we have a new president at this time, drink my coffee and stitch on the cute, cute, cute Long Neck Friend - Dragon-Fli - you will not have difficulty spotting her as she moves around! Who doesn't love a purple dragon?
Have a great week and please stay safe!
