In the latest issue of her newsletter, the fabulous Brini Maxwell mentions Subversive Cross Stitch AND Sublime Stitching! Sweet! Plus, I just got this note from Brini, who has a framed "Kiss My Grits" piece I sent to her. Don't you know this made my day??

from a super-talent named Sara:

who writes... "For the hell of it, I designed a pattern having to do with the song 'Gay Bar' by Electric Six. I used the trees from the 'Get Lost' pattern, and the house from the 'Kiss My Grits' pattern. I took it with me to their Cambridge, MA show on September 19, hoping to get it autographed. After the show, I managed to show the finished piece to four of the band members, and they LOVED it! They couldn't get over how 'granny-ish' it looked, and kept showing it to everyone."

How cool is that? More recent additions in the Customer Gallery.

Banksy Does Paris! I love Banksy the London-based grafitti artist and now he's gone and mucked up some Paris Hilton CDs. Bravo!

First Day of School

My nephew, not quite ready for school. I totally remember those days and am SOOOOO glad they're in the past. I never in a million years imagined that someday I'd actually enjoy waking up early. And now my formerly early-rising parents sleep until noon. I wish I lived closer to them so I could go wake them up right now...
