We started a new mystery class, Lulu’s La Sirena, at the shop today! I love the mystery classes. They are fun and keep me focused on one project. (Or 4 depending upon how you count.) Today’s class was quiet and laid back. Lulu Mypinkturtle’s beautiful mermaid is already coming to life. We stitched her face […]

Ooh La La The Dog Walker Got a Makeover
Sometimes you just have to change up the finishing. Not that I needed another framed piece in my life but the Dog Walker as a pillow just wasn’t doing it for me. It was cute and I loved the fabric but it just wasn’t funky enough and didn’t have the zippity do dah that I […]
Brenda Weekend
The one and only Brenda Hart was here this weekend working her magic for a group of fun ladies and canvases. They were a very relaxed group, a silly group, but a studious group. They obviously needed lots of fortification. Hard to believe there were only 4 ladies at […]
A very Blingy Opportunity
Sometimes an opportunity presents and you just have to run with it. Liisa Turunen is coming to teach for us! I am so excited. All of her beadwork designs are gorgeous and so much fun. She loves beads and she loves cats so in my book, that’s a match made in Bedecked and Beadazzled heaven. She has been […]
The plan came together
I do love it when a plan comes together. Yesterday was the last day of the Sitting Pretty Mystery Class. We had background to stitch, the fishbowl and the tassels. The most exciting part for me was the background. I designed a new stitch which was a bit of a challenge but looks oh so […]
Can a Lamp Change Your Life?
Can you LOVE a Lamp? Well, maybe. I have been in love with Koncept lamps for over a year now. They really are life changing. They are super sleek, aka not ugly! Small! Super bright! Lightweight! Complete with dimmer switch, now that’s just cool! And most importantly, perfect for needlepoint. So, without further ado, here’s […]
Finishing Options
I love it when a piece comes back from the finisher that is truly out of this world. I love it even more when there are two. So different yet the same canvas, stitches and threads! This is the Playful Squirrel by Sandra Vargas. It was one of our mystery classes from last Summer. […]
Lulu’s La Sirena
Where does the time go? We will finish Sitting Pretty by CBK next weekend and I have totally forgotten to post the next mystery class. Where is my mind? Our next mystery starting at the end of this month is Lulu’s La Sirena! Is this not just the cutest canvas ever? I’ve been itching to […]
Summer Stitching
What’s better for summer stitching than a belt? A belt with fabulous wonderful colors designed by kimberly! Pretty, pretty patterns. Give us a call and we’ll send one your way, or order online here. Happy Stitching.
Pillows, Pillows, Pillows
Or shall I title this blog, Ruching, Repoussé and Dumb bells? Whatever the title, we had a great time in class yesterday! This was the second lesson of Sitting Pretty and we focused on the pillows. Pretty Pillows fit for our royal kitty. Each pillow is a different stitch and thread combo. The green pillow […]
