Off to the Finger Lakes

I'm taking off to the seminar tomorrow.  Along the way I'll be doing a little bit of shopping so it will take me a little longer than really necessary to drive to the Lodi Firehouse.  If you're coming to the seminar I'll be there with my copy of Sherry's new book Branching Encapsulation and I'm picking up a copy of Flare magazine so everyone can see Totusmel's lace in the magazine. I'm hoping that the issue with her pictures is out.   Please come and say Hi, tell me you read my blog and I'll have a treat for you! Remind me if I forget.  While your talking to me anyways please remind me to buy another needle for tatting.  I dropped mine under the deck last summer. 

In case you're wondering my project this weekend is the bracelet in the header.  For my class you need a shuttle, size 10 beads and size 20 thread.  I have clasps if you need one and I'll be giving you a mini lecture on clasps as part of the class.  For the raffle table last year I brought kits for a bunny bookmark.  It was the only draw where everyone won.  This year I'm bringing kits to make this Screen Door Heart.  I'm sure you've this kind of thing on a screen door before.  Basically you use to magnets to hang something decorative so no one walks through the screen door.  Sorry the picture is blurry in left corner because my camera is still traumatized by the beach.  I wasn't able to get a picture of the heart on the screen but here's the heart on the fridge, it makes a good refrigerator magnet too.  The kit includes a pattern, thread, 2 buttons, 2 magnets and beads.  

On another note I just realised that the wrong picture came up in one of my previous posts. Despite the right picture showing up on the draft I got a picture of another character instead of Professor Farnsworth from

Futurama. Professor Farnsworth was funnier.
