We’re gearing up for the start of our Shelly Penko Bohemian Beauty Mystery Class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. You can read more about it here. We thought it would be fun to have Julia Snyder take a spin at some of her other canvases. All three of these designs will now ship complete with stitchguide. […]

As Long As It’s Still Snowing…
Seriously? Snow on the 25th of March? I guess Mother Nature just wanted me to post lesson #3 of the Melissa Shirley Christmas Village Mystery With a Twist with a fresh coat of the white stuff outside. Oh well, we’ll survive. Lesson #3 is on it’s way to everyone! The second house has come to […]
Mystery Makeup Day
Yesterday was Mystery Makeup Day at Bedecked and Beadazzled. We had a great time. Thank you all for coming! So fun! Bastet came out to play with Sue Why Fit In? was here. Those first stitches on any canvas are scarey but Peggi forged ahead and is well on her way. Dine brought Blue […]
the Zecca Retreat!
Join us May 17 & 18 at Bedecked and Beadazzled for our very first designer retreat. Karen Hennessey of Zecca fame will be here for the weekend to stitch a brand new project she designed just for us. Karen and I have so much fun together that we decided to make an event out of it […]
Swanky Cute!
Oh me. Oh my. I really have to say our little pup is the cutest ever! Yesterday’s class was mostly about her sweater. We all love over dyes and I love it even more when I can use the crazy happy ones and get them to work! This canvas was the perfect backdrop for […]
Stitch guides already!
We just launched the start of our new line of Amy Bruecken canvases last week and we just couldn’t resist stitchguiding a few of them. Julia Snyder was here, and well, the rest as they say is history. The blue snowman is now complete with a stitchguide as is The Witch is In! You can […]
Embellishing Differently
Every teacher, every designer, every stitcher looks at a canvas differently. Julia Snyder spent the weekend with us sharing her vision of how to embellish our canvases. I always say she sees more texture in a piece than anyone else does adding ribbons, and floofy bursts of Wonder Ribbon and drop beads. Check out the […]
From Cross Stitch to Needlepoint and into your heart!
Talk about Cute! Cute, cute, cute. That’s the word for Amy Bruecken! Amy is a Cross Stitch designer with a large selection of cute. I met Amy a few years ago at a tradeshow and we talked and planned and now some of that super cute style is coming to a needlepoint store near you! […]
The Pharoah Dog
The Pharoah Dog is the latest and greatest canvas from Tapesty Fair. Now you know my current love affair with Tapestry Fair canvases. First there was Bastet, the most beautiful Egyptian cat. She was so fun to stitch. Yes, a million beads, but what’s not to like about a million beads on a black […]
The Spotlight is On!
We’re working away on the Dog Walker Mystery Class. It’s coming together quickly. Today was the second class and we focused on stitching the background and the woman’s feet. The background is a brand new laid filling stitching stitched entirely in metallic. It’s a pretty blue and it matches the paint on the canvas perfectly. […]
