Hoffman Designer Profile

On Fridays, Hoffman Distributing Company adds a new Designer Profile to their website and I've enjoyed stopping by and 'hearing the voices' of some of my favourite designers. I'm thrilled to have been asked to participate in this program and share a little about my own life and work. If you have a moment, please drop by... Hoffman Distributing and click on "Friday Feature".

A Great Offer

On April 11, the latest issue of of the fantastic "World of Cross Stitching" magazine hits the stands (it will be a little later outside the U.K.). This month, among their many fascinating regular and special feature articles, they will present a 'wedding' theme which includes the Bride Paper Doll. Anyone who knows Jacquie, at Celtic Rose Needlecraft, also knows that she always has something special up her sleeve... check out her ad in the same issue.

Dragonfly Dreams, in Australia, has a new name to go with their lovely new web-site. Why the new name? Karen humorously explains onsite that "When we first opened our store at Katoomba three years ago, we kept the name Dragonfly Dreams, but unfortunately this has caused confusion. People think that Dragonfly Dreams is a Chinese Restaurant, Tattoo Parlour, a New Age Crystal store or even recently, a house of ill repute. It was definitely time for a change."

Just a Little Reminder

In 2005, Wendy Mesley (a popular TV journalist and co-host of CBC's consumer show, 'Marketplace') was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Her diagnosis, subsequent treatment and recovery led her to investigate the rising incidence of all forms of cancer throughout North America. The end result was an informative and much-repeated television show, "Chasing the Cancer Answer" which exposed startling facts about the fight against cancer and our environment. CBC has also provided online tips about avoiding carcinogens in common household products.

Please don't forget to familiarize yourself with the signs of Ovarian Cancer and to ensure that the men in your life remember their PSA checks.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this little newsletter. I hope that you've found it interesting and useful. Til next time... take care and Happy Stitching,

Lynne
