My, oh my. This is going to be a crazy silly happy holiday mystery class. This is brand new from Brooke Connor and it’s going to be so much fun. First of all they are owls, second of all they are wearing clothes and then they are under the mistletoe. Could this not be any […]

Wild and Wonderful Salmon
This was such a fun canvas to stitch. Designed by Teresa Layman, this was a mystery class last summer. It’s full of bright happy colors and great threads. Now it is framed and hanging in the beehive. Mine has a nifty lucite frame and purple suede mat. Wendy’s has a darker purple mat and a […]
A Fashionable Fellow
Today was all about dressing our skeleton friend. It’s fall so time to think Halloween, right? Of course it was well into the 80’s and didn’t feel at all like fall but what’s a girl to do? Our skeleton now has a fancy hat worked with fun stitches and threads, his collar is also coming […]
We found our Marbles!
The one and only Kimberly was here this weekend teaching the first of her marble designs. Like all things Kimberly it is colorful and fun. There’s a lot packed into a not so big design. It’s only 8″ square so totally manageable. Just look at all this yumminess. The colors are divine. We used lots […]

Newest of the New
So what else are we launching at Dallas? Inquiring minds want to know. Eleanor Grosch has added more birds, an amazing tiger and ballerinas to her line! Oh my! So cool. I love Eleanor’s style as the large graphic areas lend themselves so easily to large areas of one stitch or fun accents of beads. […]
