We are in full Christmas mode! Get in the holiday spirit by bringing out all your Christmas needlepoint! We just stitched this darling Patchwork Santa from Julia’s Needleworks. Julia also makes a Mrs. Claus…

This would be a great piece for decorative stitches, too. We added real buttons for his coat, which are super cute.

Chris and I have decorated our house and I am so excited to see our stockings hanging. It’s always such a treat when I get them out. Ours are from Sandra Gilmore (see her canvases by clicking here) and Buster’s is a custom designed one.

Merry Christmas and happy stitching,

Susan

Embarrassing fact #1: I collect rubber duckies. So I was really excited when I saw this canvas from JL Canvas Company. She creates hand-painted canvases paired with blown glass ornaments. Really fun. I hope she will add more pictures to her website soon.

I decided to frame the ducky and hang it with my collection. Also note the Maggie Co. canvas hanging nearby…it has a small rubber ducky in the tub.

Who says the bathroom is off limits for needlepoint?! I think it’s a new frontier!

Happy stitching!
Susan

Please excuse the horrible quality of these photos…both pieces are hung up high and I had trouble getting a good angle for the photographs. Also, I must have had too much wine!

I covet needlepoint purses…it’s an addiction really. Point of It All employee Laurie Bloch stitched this marvelous satchel. In full disclosure mode, I have to confess that I did not call her when it arrived from the finisher…I held onto it and just admired it for a few days. But I did NOT actually wear it out of the shop, so that’s a positive!

The canvas is from L’Esprit de France. They have such unusual canvases….pieces that are unlike any other artist’s. Take a minute to explore the website! They have pillows, shoes (drool, drool, I love shoes), luggage straps, desk sets, and so much  more!

Considering how much I love purses, no one will be surprised that I have stitched the leopard print, the tartan, and part of the zebra striped purses. I also made Chris a watch from L’Esprit.

Happy stitching,
Susan
