Today I was thinking about stars and thought it would be a good time to show you my Flickr set of stars<\/a>. I thought I had such a great collection, but when I went to look at it again, it seems paltry. I don’t think it really is; I think my vision is skewed from looking a Judy Martin’s Star blocks recently. She has a ton!!! I am eyeing those Feathered Stars as I think about more dot projects. Then again a project like this<\/a> in all dots would be quite appealing. Have fun looking at the Stars!<\/p>\n

Nina brought this interesting thread to my attention. It is called Desire Memory Thread<\/a> from DMC. It looks like wire, but says that it is soft. Hhhmmm. It looks promising, but until I feel it, I am not sure how it could be used. I have an idea that I could use my glass beads<\/a> with it. I would really like to make a bracelet or something with those beads and this might be the piece of the puzzle that pulls the project together.<\/p>\n

Nina saw it in Stitch magazine from the UK. I haven’t ever seen that magazine, but may have to seek it out. I used to be able to find such magazines at Marquardt’s in the City, but the last time I went by they had closed. It was one of those great old fashioned newsstands on a corner near Union Square. The huge wonderful neon sign had been left up, which was nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
