Talk about spook-tacular. This is Moon Dance by Sandy Gilmore stitched by Linda with stitches by Brenda Hart. Truly the planets aligned to magnificence. When Linda started this canvas she really, really didn’t like beads. Brenda challenged her to 10 beads a day. Now, thanks to a beaded skeleton, she can’t get enough! Each detail […]

Trick or Treat
Do you have your Halloween costume ready? It’s T minus 3 days to trick or treaters. What about Frankenstein, or a mummy or dracula? OK, so we aren’t really dressing up for Halloween but we could stitch for it. While Brenda Hart was at the shop a few weeks ago she stitchguided this awesome Shelly […]
Chaos
Do you remember my posting about Katey (aka ryn) and her darling license plate style canvases? Here’s the original link. Well, the first model is back from the finisher and we love it. It’s definitely license plate cool! Just the right size to hang on that certain someone’s bedroom door. Or perhaps your house is […]
The shoes make the outfit
If you know me, you know I have a thing for shoes. Okay, I have a thing for sparkly blingy things and for shoes, oh and for handbags but that’s not the point right now. These are amazing needlepointed shoes. They needed to have a fun pattern that didn’t have direction as one shoe is […]
Birdy Cat Hotel
And we have another finish from a Brenda Hart embellishment weekend! Woo Hoo! Drumroll please. Cheer on the stitchers. How cute is this? It’s the Birdy Cat Hotel from Ewe & Eye. First of all I love his eyes. So big and full of mischief. But check out the stitch that Brenda selected for his […]
Branding
It’s all about the branding. I do love my logo but it was time to tweak it just a little. Here it is, in it’s new found format on a snap tray. We also have small magnets with the same logo. It’s really all about the bee you know :-)
Two Girls from Texas …..
What happens when you invite two girls from Texas to a class with Brenda Hart and a few of her dearest Bedecked and Beadazzled? A lot of mischief. That’s what. The ever popular Brenda Hart was at Bedecked and Beadazzled for three days this weekend. We had a great time. Carol and Caroline joined us […]
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
Will you join me in a toast? A toast to great threads and stitches and beautiful canvases – all the things we celebrate with each stitch we take. Check out this picnic basket designed by Mary Lake Thompson and brought to us by Melissa Shirley. We started pulling threads and stitches for this canvas and […]
The Needlepoint Fairy
She’s finished. Oh my! Isn’t she just the coolest? I asked Sheena to stitchguide her for us. She did an amazing job. Not only did she write the guide, she stitched every last inch of her. She even brought her to class with Brenda Hart so that we could have a sneak preview. Linda was […]
And Now, A Word from our Sponsors
This photoshoot has been temporarily interrupted by a four-legged furry. Richie likes to supervise. He particularly likes to supervise the lights. Works for me. He is awfully photogenic but every mom thinks her kids are beautiful. Once he was out of the shot, we were able to take pictures of the areas of Broom Parking […]

How could I resist?
So, here I was happily going along with my day when bam it hits me that I needed to write a stitch guide for the Halloweenville Forest by EyeCandy. How could I resist? It’s so darn cute and I loved stitching the Candyland Christmas Tree Farm. What’s one more WIP? You see, not only did […]
The Whimsy Queen
I’ve known Sylvie from a distance for more than 10 years. I was buying her lampwork beads more than ten years ago. I loved them then and I love them now. Sylvie is the whimsy queen. Check out her Head over Heels creations. This is the Queen of Hearts. How clever is this? I was […]
