I’m a little late announcing this, but that’s ok. It’s time to talk Honey Bees!  If you were a Honey Bee this year or wish you were, you know what this is all about and it’s time to sign up for next year. If you are wondering who or what honey bees are, read on….. […]

I can’t believe we are just over a month from Thanksgiving.  So many of you have reached out about our annual Friends-Giving Event and yes, it is on the books!  I’ve just been behind in launching the details. I hope you will consider joining us on zoom.  The official dates are November 30 and December […]

What else is new you ask?  What about this delightful zecca canvas, Rainfoest Wiggle.  It’s happy and colorful and quirky, all the things we love about zecca.  There’s a whole lot of fun and unusual in this stitchguide too!  Follow my plan and the little bird’s body will poof up off the canvas.  How cute […]

It’s not only the year of the dragon, but it’s the zoom-bellishment of the dragon.  I tend to be really far ahead of the trends or really far behind them.  Rarely do I time it just right.  We were in zoom-bellishment probably last January when so many people selected eruption for their October project when […]

New from Hue and Mi and Sangita is another super adorable pup!  Look at those eyes. He loves you!  Yes, he’s a pit bull but he just needs some love. There’s a crazy amount of pattern in this canvas but it’s all mapped out and totally doable thanks to my stitchguide.  The colors are just […]

Zoom-bellishment is this weekend and since it is spooky season we need to have at least one spooky canvas in the mix.  This is a canvas that has been in our line for awhile but it is only now in the spotlight with a brand new stitchguide. Witching Hour by Sandra Vargas is certain to […]

Zoom-bellishment is this weekend and we are going to have a fabulous time.  I’m going to tempt you with all the new guides and canvases over the next few days.  Some are in stock and can be shipped right out, others could be on their way shortly.  Let’s get started! New for this class is […]

Zoom-bellishment isn’t Zoom-bellishment unless we have a handful of David Galchutt canvases in play.  October’s class is no different.  We will be exploring three of his masterpieces! David Galchutt’s canvases have a crazy amount of detail packed into them.  With a little planning it is all achievable.  I promise. Conspiracy is one of the canvases in […]

Here we go!  Next weekend is October Zoom-bellishment.  I’m always excited to see everyone and watch new stitchguides come to life.  What could be more fun? How exactly does this work?  We typically have about a dozen canvases in class.  Some are brand new guides, some are brand new canvases and some are what I […]

Luna Moth from Zecca is truly one of my favorite canvases.  The colors make me happy!  This was our Zecca Retreat canvas from 2023.  Several are finished and back from the framer. We tend to think of Zecca longs as soooo big, but when they come back from the framer, framed to just the size […]

OOOH!  Who needs a new zecca canvas in their rotation.  Everyone, always, right?  The long canvases are super fun.  Big impact but not really as many square inches as you would think.  Got One is a fun eagle who has just caught a fish.  It has a ruth schmuff stitchguide. My thought process for all […]
