Who Are You????
Let’s celebrate our uniqueness! Choose who you are, or who you want to be. There are at least 4 here that I think are parts of me or who I want to be. I see friends in some. It’s kind of a fun game :-) All canvases are stitchpainted […]
Bashful
Take a walk on the wild side with me as we explore lesson #3 of the Blue Moon Mystery Class. Today was the day, the big reveal of all my off beat ideas for this little guy’s body. Before we start, let me show you something really cool. When last we met I gave options […]
Looky, Looky. Just in time for Easter!
Start now and you’ll have it stitched, finished and home in time for the Easter Bunny! EyeCandy’s Easter Collage is just the cutest! And now it has a very fun stitch guide written by Julia Snyder. Just look at those threads, beads and buttons. Another canvas to add to the list of ones that look […]
It’s a new stitch book!
Sandy Arthur has just released Shapes of Needlepoint Series IV and it is in stock! This is my favorite of the books so far. In this book we explore Diagonals, Horizontals and Verticals. Just like her other books the stitches are sorted by size. Yes, there are stitches that are in other books but there […]
Just a Little Bead Soup
How cute is this? A fun lampwork bead with loopy fringe of multi-colored seed beads makes for such a fun scissor fob. It’s small, just the right size to fit in your hand. Change it up and consider hanging it as a zipper pull from your project bag. Love it! Each one is unique. Dogs, […]
Up On The Rooftop
This very well may be my favorite of the Garden Girl series. Just wait until you see what Julia Snyder devised to tempt us with on this one. I do hope someone stitches her quick. As with the other girls, this one has a relatively limited color palette. Mostly shades of purple, but just look […]

Wild Horses
Laurel Burch was an amazing artist, gifting us with her talent and happy artwork. Her art is reproduced in needlepoint by Danji Designs. Each piece is prettier and more striking than the next. One of the most beautiful pieces is the Wild Horses. A dear friend of ours, Ellen, brought this canvas to a Brenda […]
Compensation – a way of life
There’s just no way around it. Compensation is a way of life, particularly for needleworkers. We are constantly compensating stitches to make them fit the shape of a painted area. Sometimes it is easier than others. Sometimes we are more in the mood to play the game than others. This is one of those times […]
