I just got back from the Atlantic City Trade show and I noticed some very interesting trends. Diversification is moving ahead full force. Companies that only offered 1 decorating type have now branched out into many different areas. After all, you can only sell the same embellishme...

Girls, girls and more girls. Although I have five brothers we have not followed that tradition. We have two girls, two granddaughters and now another on the way. Personally, I think this is great! After growing up with all those little brothers I have always loved little girl...

One of the most interesting, IMHO, studies of the human condition is body language. Posed or casual, many of us can see the indications that are coming from the way a body presents or does not present itself.

Leaping In with a Mac part 2
It turns out that a lot of you here at AnnTheGran are Mac users or, dare I say, “Mac curious?” You have seen the ads and heard the talk, but your embroidery stuff runs on Windows, and the kid down the street (nephew, son in law) can keep your system running....

With the new digital cameras on the market, photo taking can and does take on a new reality. You can take 100 photos and discard 99 of them without the expense of processing. That is only one of the benefits. There are so many features, most of them universal, they are too numerous...
