Gadgets Galore for Easter and More
You know we love our gadgets. If I was making Easter Baskets for you I would fill them with all these cool gadgets and more. Wouldn’t you love that just as much as chocolate? We have super cute new magnets in stock from Elizabeth Turner Collection and Accoutrement Designs. They are all so cute. […]
The Marvelous Miss M
Ok, that’s not the most original blog title but you get the point. The one and only Meredith Willet was here this weekend teaching and Oh My! My, Oh, My! what fun we had. She is just so darn cute. Check out those dimples. She is the original southern belle. So gracious. That’s all I […]
Barbara’s Belleza
Wowza! One word says it all. Take an exceptional canvas, add threads and stitch choices by the one and only Brenda Hart, add patience and beautiful stitching by Barbara and a few more stellar ideas and you have a knock out piece fit not only for the Day of the Dead celebrations but any room […]
The Garden Girl
The garden girls are a new-ish series from me. There are three. The original garden girl, cafe girls and rooftop garden. Each has a pretty limited color palette which makes them even more unusual. This one is mostly green, while the other two are primarily blue and purple. You can choose your favorite location […]
Jeweled Lotuses
Ready for the reveal? Today was the third lesson of Bastet our Egyptian Cat Mystery Class! We Bedecked, Bejeweled and Beadazzled the lotuses. So fun! We attached different types of beads with different techniques and beautiful threads. There are two lotuses on the canvas, each at a 45 degree angle so each section of […]
Witch’s Garden Halloween Collage
First there was the Halloween Night Collage that we all loved, and then Ada of EyeCandy fame kicked it up a notch with the Witch’s Garden Halloween Collage. I’m not sure which is my favorite so now they both have stitchguides! So fun to stitch. You can order online here or call us at 410.296.0405 […]
Stitch a Raven!
Sandy Arthur taught at Bedecked and Beadazzled last year and we had sooooo much fun. She is full of giggles and spunk and so much talent. We’ve invited her back to teach us her interpretation of Leigh’s Ravens (ah, Old Crows)! Sandy has stitchguided three of the Ravens – Squashed, Night Cap and Fast Friends. […]
Sometimes I change direction…
What can I say? I’m fickle. I’m a gemini so I have a good excuse for changing my mind all the time. The original finishing plan for the Broom Parking Mystery Class was to frame it with a cut out in the mat showcasing the new logo. I started plotting and planning and changing my […]
Aquamarine
Such a pretty color. Such a pretty name. Such a pretty mermaid! Aquamarine Mermaid by our newest designer, Sandra Vargas, will be our Summer Mystery Class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. Summer mysteries should be fun and fanciful. This little mermaid fits the bill perfectly. Aquamarine, has such a sweet face and her colors are yummy. […]

Hieroglyphics
Sometimes challenges are good. I challenged myself to create something new and different for the second lesson of Bastet, our Egyptian Cat Goddess. The background is big and open with beautiful shading ranging from golds to oranges to rusts. I auditioned lots of traditional stitches, darning patterns, woven stitches, laid fillings. Many worked but they […]
