I love embellishing!  I love buttons, beads, even objects not necessarily intended for needlepoint!  One of my sweet not to mention accomplished stitchers shared her “embellished” piece that she is working on!!!!  Her jessica (perfect I might add)  is topped off with a bead, pearl cotton in a decorative stitch, swarovski crystals and bugle beads!!  WOW!

Today is the last day of the MARGARITA MADNESS SALE!!  All in stock canvases are 35% off and select items are up to 50% off!

Just a heads up if you see either one of these women,  I suggest you not mention the words “pearl cotton”!!  They have personally been responsible for putting tags on each skein of them……all 10,080 of them!!!

Today is the beginning of Margarita Madness!  Stop in The Bug for savings of 35% on all in stock canvases and 50% on many selected items!!  See you then!

Well my internet is finally up!  (not without a lot of frustration might I add!!)  So let me catch you up on The Bug Blog  – The Susan Roberts Trunk Show is packed up and a new one is on the way…Painted Pony.  They have a website for viewing their designs…check it out and then come to The Bug for the show!  Coming up Monday June 28th and Tuesday June 29th is MARGARITA MADNESS.  All canvases in the shop will be marked down drastically…BEAT THE HEAT WITH A SIP AND A SALE!  Also new colors in Silk & Ivory have arrived and “these are colors with a hint of tint that will shade beautifully with their family members, as well as provide a range of background colors for another alternative to white.” AMEN.

The new tints :

Petal is the new member of the Pink Cocktail family, lighter than Pink Lady

Glacier is lighter than Blue Yonder in the Tried-and-True Blues Family

Posie is the lightest member of the Various Purple Things family, lighter than  phlox

Pearl is lighter than crab on The Seafood platter!
