Visionary Arts Museum
Karen from Zecca land arrived Saturday evening and we did a quick Baltimore tour with Karl as our tour guide! He’s not a native Baltimorean but he does know his history. Of course our favorite place is the Visionary Arts Museum. We loved the mosaic on the walls. And the mirrored tree […]
A Very Special Bunny Came to Town

It’s a life changing flower
The third class of the run bunny run mystery was yesterday. Now we’re cooking. We’re stitching birds and flowers and fun stuff! I am completely in love with the little birdie on the bunny’s butt. He is the cutest and he uses another new color of my Color Dreams Floche. YAY! The leaves and stems […]
Deeee lightful!

It’s Raining Sequins!
It’s time to start a new canvas. Don’t you think? Yes, it’s definitely time. It’s been raining and raining and raining so it’s time to let a little sparkle in. Sparkle is good, right? Lots of sparkle is even better, right? Well. I think it is. Now that the Wild Salmon class is complete and […]

What’s New?
The announcement of our next Mystery Class, that’s what’s new. 🙂 You are going to love this one! Designed by zecca with threads and stitches by me. I’m thinking spring and softness and things oh so cute. What better way to celebrate cute than a fuzzy bunny? Super cute and in a way that only […]
Happiness Is…..
The zecca Mystery class is coming together. I love this canvas! This is a Mystery with a Twist class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. The game plan is that we work on the canvas in sections with a new section (guide and threads) being released at approximately 3-4 month intervals. Well, that was the plan. Life, […]
My Eyeball Just Popped Out!
No, that’s not as gross as it sounds. This weekend was our second Zecca Retreat and it was a blast! We love having Karen Hennessey here to stitch with us. She is just as charming as her canvases. Karen and I put our heads together and pick a canvas. I then create the stitch guide […]
A Favorite!
This was the Zecca Retreat piece from 2014! I loved stitching this piece! It was a challenge as the canvas was soft and mellow and I like big pops of fun color. I added my own twist and loved every minute of it. The canvas is available should you decide to stitch your very […]
Embellishment by Ruth
Stitching with Friends. That’s what this weekend was. Ten wonderful friends old and new in one store with lime green walls. Each of the ladies had a different canvas. They were welcomed to the class with wonderful bags of threads, beads and goodies waiting for them on their canvases. Then there was the big reveal, […]
Limited Edition
I admit it. I’m the kind of girl that if you tell me something is no longer available or is about to be discontinued, I have to have it. I know I will want it later. I need it now! Let’s not talk about my collection of vintage swarovski that has been years in the […]
Many Birds, Many Trees, Many Leaves, Much Fun!
The one and only Meredith Willet came to visit and we had two very fun classes. One of the classes was a hybrid of sorts — a combination of an embellishment class and a project class. OMG was this fun and creative and inspiring. If you ever have the chance to take a class like […]
Many, Many Birds
One day Meredith Willet, the Divine Miss M, and I were talking and an idea evolved. What if we took one canvas and instead of stitch guiding it in minute detail, we gave the students choices for various areas? Hmmm, could be fun. Let’s give it a whirl. The canvas we selected is a favorite […]
Leaves and more leaves
The Why Fit In Mystery with a Twist has finally resurfaced! Whoot! Whoot! I do love this piece and as soon as I can snag some time to work on it I don’t want to put it down. Here’s where we are to date. Three lessons complete. In the third lesson we started stitching […]
A Sterling Opportunity for Fun
Just for fun, and just because, we had a Friday afternoon prize drawing yesterday. Zecca graciously left us with a canvas kit to use as a drawing at the close of her trunkshow. You know she loves her game boards, so this one is Poker Dice. You stitch a dice cup and then get to […]
Leaves are Falling!
The second lesson of Why Fit In, the one and only Zecca adorable orange bird, has shipped! This is a Mystery with a Twist so the lessons are approximately 3 months apart. Lots of time to comfortably keep up. Or not. Your call. 🙂 I think she is just so darn cute that you will […]

Blue Moon is framed
Have you looked at the weather out there? Yuk! Here in Maryland it is just dismally gray. Not sure that’s the motivation I need to finish decorating the Christmas tree. In the interest of bright and happy and fun, here’s Blue Moon in its fun frame! This canvas seems like a blur, it was two […]
