Yesterday
I looked through my projects for what to work on and I just didn’t know what I
felt like working on. I pulled out this
Just Nan chart and linen and decided to start another new project. The price
stickers on the chart and the embellishment kit (four dragonfly charms and a
cat button) said Persnickity, a needlework store in Zionsville, Indiana,
outside of Indianapolis. It had been
many years since I had been there and so many needlework stores have gone out
of business, so I googled “Persnickity” to see if I could find out if they were
still in operation. I found a website,
but the online calendar was for November 2009, so I don’t know if it is out of
date, or if the store is out of business.
The project is mostly cross stitch, with a few other stitches, done on
28 count linen with DMC floss. Here’s my first day’s start. I'm going to make a needlebook, not a framed piece.
Today is a National Holiday in Japan, known as Foundation Day. It is a day to reflect on the establishment of the nation and one's love of country.

I have that chart. Maybe I should add this to my list of to-do for 2013.
Persnickety is still in business. I just got a newsletter a few days ago and I was in the shop this past August.
Good! I'm glad to hear they are still operating.
