Here are some more information for Porcelain Face Silk:
Sometimes you pick up a cross stitch chart or even a cross stitch kit and even though you love the design you just want to make a few changes to it or give it a bit of your own pizzazz! I don't think I've personally ever stitched anything exactly to the charted key, I always add some little something, whether it's a floss change, a bit of blending filament, or maybe a few beads here and there for texture just to give it that little extra bit of me.
So, let's talk about a few things you can do to jazz up that new project to make it a little more your own.
Blending Filaments - These are a sparkly shiny thread that you can purchase to give a bit of shimmer to your project. You can thread it into the needle with your floss and stitch that way, or you can thread the blending filament alone and just stitch over top of the current stitches to add a bit of shine in certain places. This adds a great touch to any piece.
Beads and Charms - You can use seed beads in place of french knots or place a few around the outer edge of a design for a nice depth of texture. Charms can also be bought and added anywhere on a piece for a little bit of added "charm";-)
Specialty Threads - Silk, Rayon, Metallic, Hand Dyed, there are any number of floss types in addition to your regular standard embroidery floss. Swapping out any standard color in your project and using one of these specialty threads in its place can make a huge difference in your finished project.
Take a minute or two today to look through your crafty stash and see what you can add to that work in progress cross stitch project to make it just a little more you. Get creative, have fun, and most of all enjoy what you're doing.

That Perfect Gift - Jewelry Boxes For Woman
Let's face it -most women have a fondness for jewelry. Whether it's costume jewelry or the real thing, whether it's for a practical purpose or not. There's just something about the sheen of gold or silver (or even platinum) and the sparkle of diamonds and other precious stones that just hits us in the right spot. Therefore jewelry boxes for women are the perfect gift for any woman in your life. Whether it's to store earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, or any other accessory jewelry boxes are the way to go. But in defense of our affection for jewelry, these little trinkets not only have material value, they have emotional and sentimental value as well, so why not put a smile on your special lady's face and buy jewelry boxes for that special occasion as the gift she will cherish always.
This is precisely the reason why we take care of them and treasure them, and one surefire way of taking care of them is by arranging them in an orderly fashion and putting them in a foolproof jewelry box especially made for our tastes, which is guaranteed to protect them from loss or negligence, or outright wear and tear. A woman's jewelry box could be a cherished possession in itself, not just because it contains our prized jewelry, but also because of its own value.
Women's jewelry boxes come in all sizes and shapes, from rectangular to square to round to oblong, and with materials made from wood, leather, glass, porcelain, ceramic, or even plastic. The ones made from wood can consist of cherry, walnut, oak, mahogany, and white wood. There are some with drawers, sliding doors, or lids.
These boxes made for women also take into consideration a host of other factors, such as functionality. Depending on the number of jewelry pieces you have, or depending on the kind of jewelry you have, you can choose a jewelry box equally suited to your tastes and sense of fashion. The partitioning can be adjusted to your needs. The interior lining is also paid attention to, because it is where your jewelry will actually be nestled or placed. Most boxes are lined with velvet, suede, or silk. You can even opt for a musical women's jewelry box, or a jewelry armoire. The choices are basically endless.
All of these factors being taken into consideration, shop around. The Internet is always a good source of a wide array of women's jewelry boxes. The crafts shop or special boutiques in your town might have some good options too. When it comes to choosing a jewelry box for women, it all comes down to a few things - functionality, beauty, quality, and price. Choose well and it will last you for a lifetime.

. . . . . Aurelia. . . . .?
This is a poem I wrote, titled Aurelia. What do you honestly think?
~♥~
Those three with silk top hats you cannot trust
Yet one shall be your charmer, beau, and lust
Lovely Ladybug, hair of ruby rust
Heart of gold, face of porcelain, mind so just
Jevan gives you crimson claret and fish
One flaxen-haired and fair shall grant your wish
Her gown of glittery hues goes swish-swish
Yet Jevan still serves a bleeding shark dish
What keeps the green land spiraling around?
For you, redhead, he wears peach and soft brown
For the town coxcomb, his doting young clown
For the saint, his chapel of glass and sound
Your best friend is an orphan, bound by loss
Your cottage is dreamy, clung to by moss
Your mother’s hair is like spaghetti sauce
Your coffee eyes have a magical gloss
Winter befell and the pond outside froze
You skate across in wooly violet clothes
A maiden approached, her hair in pink bows
Clasped in her hand was a single blue rose
I still like it, but I like the first verse the best. -smiles
Could you comment on my novel excerpt, please?? -smiles- I've posted it on here, but it may be on page 2 or 3.
