Notice how he seems to be thinking up his next song, inspired by the Subversive piece right behind him - right? Yeah, sure, why not? Ha! guitar riff - Beeeeeeyaaaaaaatch!

Got any leftover Christmas money?

Consider supporting the charity of your choice worldwide with Global Giving. Here's an example of a project you can directly help: Women and children refugees in Darfur will get food, counseling and other support.

From now through 12/28, all donations will be matched - so that's double the impact. You can also give it as a gift in someone else's name if you're stuck for present ideas.

Tis' the season!

Subversive Shopping update

Holiday Shipping Schedule:

The LAST DAY I will ship orders is December 20th. After that, I will collapse into a holiday coma that can only be interrupted by the smell of a delicious single barrel bourbon or the sound of in-laws on the doorstep.

Until then, my elves and I are here toiling away. If you need us to do some extra hustling to make your order special, say the word. We're here for you and welcome special requests.

IN THE SUBVERSIVE HOLIDAY SHOP:
Snowglobes are sold out - but Holiday Card Sets are $5 off and include Priority Mail shipping (there's still time to stitch some up!)

Share Your Latest Stitchin' on Flickr!

We've got a new group on Flickr for Subversive Cross Stitch - and other subversive stuff! I thought it would be a nice way to share ideas and show us what you're up to, especially if you want instant gratification (because it takes me a while to put new things up in the customer gallery!) Plus, it's fun to share photos of other forms of subversive crafts. Or just plain silly crafts, I like those too. So come join in the fun and become a Flickrholic like me!

NOTCOT.: O Plus D Party

image swiped from notcot (thanks!)

These are the best cards ever -- and now I see that notcot digs them, too! "Each and every one even more fun to see and read in person (gorgeous rounded edges and printed on great card stock!) " - so true! Check out the footage at the O Plus D Party or dash right on over to their shop!
