Classes
Anyone who knows me, knows that one of the main reasons I wanted to open an honest to goodness storefront was my love of classes. I will teach anyone anything I know one on one, but put me in front of a room full of people and it just isn’t pretty. I love taking classes. […]
Merry Christmas and Happy Crab
No, I haven’t been drinking, but I did just receive some great new pieces back from the finisher. One of which is the checkered crab frame weight designed exclusively for us by Squiggee aka Gail Hendrix. Gail’s canvases are all beautifully painted making them a joy to stitch. This crab frame weight is funky and […]
Brenda Hart is Amazing!!!!
We have had a great weekend at the shop. Brenda Hart has been here for 3 full days working her magic with canvas embellishment! Everyone has a different canvas and Brenda is developing stitches and selecting threads on the fly for everyone. There are Maggie canvases and Melissa Shirley canvases and a few of mine. […]
New Series
I thought it would be fun to create a series that isn’t a series. Well, it’s sort of a series, but it’s not a club. It’s just a group of ornaments that are loosely related in that they are all designed to look pretty together. These are a few of my favorite things. The first […]
We’re growing!
Thanks to you, I am pleased to announce that business is strong in Cockeysville, Maryland. We’ve had a great summer and are looking forward to finally seeing some fall weather. Maybe soon. We had a great time with everyone who came and visited during seminar and miss you all. I wish you lived here. Perhaps […]
It Was Baltimore, Hon
It’s only been two weeks but it feels like so much longer since all my new friends left Baltimore. The American Needlepoint Guild Seminar was exciting and a wonderful way for us to meet so many of you. We had a great timeand truly appreciate not only your business, but your kind words about our […]
Maryland is for Crabs
I admit it. I love steamed crabs. I actually love anything crab. Which is perhaps why I can’t decide which of the 5 crab frameweights is my favorite. Since I love crabs, Old Bay Seasoning is a very important part of my world. I grew up on this stuff. If it’s not available in your […]
Exclusive Crab Frame Weights
I admit it. I went a little overboard creating exclusive designs to introduce at the American Needlepoint Guild seminar. I just couldn’t stop myself. This is something I always thought would be fun to do and I was right. So watch for many more exclusive designs to come not only in the next few days […]
Exclusive Squiggees
Thanks to all the excitement that is building for seminar my brain is a bit addled. (I’m not really sure how to spell addled but that’s beside the point.) It was pointed out to me today that I forgot to mention that Gail Hendrix the genius behind Squiggee Designs was left off my list of […]
Brenda Hart Classes
We are delighted to announce that Brenda Hart is coming to teach at our shop this November. Brenda is an amazing teacher. Her specialty is selecting threads and stitches to bring a canvas to life. Currently she is supplying the stitch of the month to the American Needlepoint Guild (www.needlepoint.org) Check it out, I think […]

The day came Saturday, we took the paper off the windows and we are now officially open! The store is gorgeous. I absolutely love it! It’s bright and sunny and filled with color. The color and threads and texture are inspiring and empowering. You can do anything! You can stitch anything! We have 90% of […]
It’s So Cool!
We’re almost there. Bedecked and Beadazzled is almost ready for prime time viewing. My vision of a needlepoint store is coming together! The fixtures are in. There’s boxes of thread everywhere, but you can see what goes where and it looks so cool! All of like threads are together, so there’s an overdye section and […]

Well, the time has come to take things […]
