This past weekend, I stitched and finished an easy gift for my mom. Her birthday is the day after Christmas so I wanted to gift her needlepoint without having to wait weeks-months to have my finishing returned. Thankfully, Planet Earth Fiber just released a few of these self-finishing jewelry cases so I took a stab at stitching & finishing one myself.     Here's what I've included in this blog post: A free chart to stitch your own canvas Thread information A video on how to finish a self-finishing jewelry case If you would like to support me by creating this...

With November officially behind us, I thought I would take a moment to share my Needlepoint Christmas Wish list! I've tried to include items that I'm asking for but also items that I think others would like. If you like my style and taste, or know someone that does, I'm sure you'll love these.  Hopefully this gives you some good ideas for gifts for avid needlepointers – or maybe even gifts for yourself. I've done my best to try to break these up into categories to help you shop!  One last little note - if you are asking a non-needlepointer...

Recently, I’ve had so many people DM me on Instagram asking about resources to learn how to needlepoint. It’s amazing to see so many people want to try a new hobby. I created this blog post as a guide on where you can learn how to needlepoint.  One question that I get asked a lot is, “Is needlepoint easy to learn?”. Yes!

For me, the most difficult part was learning how to...

Here I go again, raving all about how I love the design process lol! But in all seriousness, I try to look at needlepoint finishing as an art form. I take my finishing very seriously – and often hold on to stitched pieces for months before I send them for finishing just so I can find the perfect fabric, trim, accessories, etc.   This canvas was a gift from my boyfriend over the summer. We were in Disney one weekend and he called up Lycette and spoke with Mama L (who is just the sweetest!!!). The canvas was waiting for...

Before I get started, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all. I have officially sold out of my ginger jar needle minders, and I sold out completely in less than 48 hours (this is insane to me and I still cannot believe it). I ordered 100 minders thinking I would maybe sell them all in 2 years...but definitely not 2 days. If you wanted to buy one and weren't able to - they will be back in stock in the next several weeks. I had a call with my factory and we are doing everything we can...
