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 […]
Snap Snap Snap
What’s that sound? … the sound of buttons and magnets snapping together to make the coolest ever laying tool holder. Button Snaps are the hot new trend and we’re the first to have them! It’s a pretty button with an elastic loop to hold your laying tool. It will hold all sizes of laying tools […]
OOPS!
I forgot to post the oh-so-cool snap tray that we designed to go exclusively with the Broom Parking Mystery Class. Isn’t it just the coolest ever? We work with the snap tray manufacturer to design an exclusive limited edition snap tray for each of our mystery classes. They are only available during the class and […]
Broom Parking!
Today is the day! Today we started the Broom Parking Mystery Class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. This is a fun canvas by Share One’s Ideas that we are stitching in sections — Four lessons in all, at basically 2 week intervals. Some students will be joining us live in the shop and others will be […]
Silly Grins
How can you resist the silliness of this canvas? It makes you grin. I’m starting to think Halloween so now’s the time to show you this awesome canvas. The canvas was designed by Ewe & Eye with a matching from from Deux Bijoux Bijoux. Add stitches selected by Julia Snyder and masterfully executed by customer […]
Brenda embellishment weekend September 2012
Welcome to a virtual gallery showcasing some of the fun canvases that were brought to Brenda’s embellishment class at Bedecked and Beadazzled this weekend. They are all going to be so cool when finished. For now, they are merely a twinkle in their stitching artist’s eye :-) This was our usual eclectic group of canvases […]
❤ Stitching with Brenda Hart
What a weekend! Sorry I’m a little late posting this. I think we’ll need 2 posts to cover the weekend! We always have a great time when Brenda Hart comes to town. She tells us which stitches to use where on our canvases and that’s just the beginning of the fun! This past weekend when […]
6 feet of needlepoint heaven
Oh my! How cool is this? Zecca has done it again. The quintessential growth chart that will last till little Tommy towers over mom. Available on 18ct or 13ct it is just so wonderful. Lots of fabulous little zecca-like treasures to stitch and embellish! When this arrived to make me smile with a note that […]
Lotus Square
Robin King, yes, the Robin King, was at the shop Sunday September 9th teaching Zecca’s Lotus Square. It’s such a pretty piece to begin with and then Robin worked her magic bringing it to life. We had a good group of stitchers for a Sunday afternoon, all excited to learn. Robin comes to class […]
New from me to you!
Hi – This weekend is the great Baltimore Adventure. What’s that? Well, it is what I have not so affectionately renamed a mini wholesale cash and carry tradeshow that is happening this very weekend in Baltimore. Lots of needlepoint and counted thread designers all ready to sell their wares to shops that are hopefully coming […]
What’s new from ryn?
ryn has new designs! She has illustrated the most amazing sugar skulls and we turned them into fun to stitch canvases. While a rose is a rose is a rose it’s twice as cool when it’s blue! Can’t wait to see what’s next from this designer.
The girls are back in town!
Now, I know it has been a long time…. I’ve finally invited the girls back for a visit. They’ve been very patient waiting for their stage to be finished. There’s surprisingly more background on this canvas than I originally thought. Not enough for crazy plan A in my head that involved a fabulous Chinese New […]
