Happy New Year 2010

January 2, 2010

Here's an idea to help start off your New Year Projects.......

Traditionally we associate the New Year with good luck symbols. There are so many to choose from....

ladybugs, horseshoes, rabbits foot, rainbows, four-leaf clover,nautical stars. Did you know 2010 is the Year of the Tiger?  Did you know that tortoises are considered a good luck symbol in Feng-Shui decorating?

Here's a link to help you descide on a good luck symbol.

If you don't have an image of a good luck symbol, you can draw one. Yes you can. That's your new motto. A fun and simple way to create your own image is to draw a cartoon,Cartoons are simple and easily convert to cross-stitch designs.     Here's a great tutorial to get you started

Don't forget to e-mail back with a picture of your project so we can show it off. If you like we can even "Share your design" in the Shared Files area.

Have fun and Happy Stitchingladybug
