Laura Loves...custom orders!

Have you seen this canvas on our site yet? It's one of my favorites and I absolutely LOVE it! And so do a lot of our customers because it is our #1 best seller. Ever.

We started with just this black and white option, but then added in a purple option too!

In fact, Jane M. Wood (from Needlepoint Nation) got her hands on one of these and will be blogging about her stitching process. So far she's picked out some fabulous fibers and bling!

Follow along as she decides what background stitch she'll be using.

Just recently we added a blue and white version: 

Actually we can have this made in any color combination you would like! I LOVE when I can take a design and make it just a little more 'me'. Can you just see this in the {Bloomin' Stitches} hot pink?!

If this is a little sassy for your tastes, you could further customize while stitching. Perhaps stitch over the U with an E? With a star? You can make it yours and I LOVE that!

What will yours look like?

Laura Loves...Lycette Designs!

Recently a brand new designer hit the needlepoint scene and I am LOVING her! 

Lycette Designs creator, Jessica, describes herself as a playful mix of Palm Beach whimsy and New England sensibility and I really think her designs embrace that.

I LOVE the bright and preppy color choices. We all know how much I love the color pink and she does too!

Lycette Designs adopts a more modern outlook on needlepoint and I LOVE that she embraces a little bit of sass and isn't afraid of colorful language.

Another reason that I LOVE Lycette Designs is that she has used the Pepper Pot fibers colors to design her pieces. So everything matches PERFECTLY! It doesn't get much easier than that.

Laura Loves...Rebecca Woods

I see so many beautiful canvases come across my desk that sometimes it's hard to pick a favorite one. I do know one of my most LOVED designers though; Rebecca Woods!

She has a wide range of designs; from large and complex projects to quick and small weekend stitching. There really is something for everyone and if you like her smaller canvases, you can work your way up to some of the larger ones. 

One of the things I really LOVE about these larger pieces is the attention to detail and vibrant colors! These Easter, Halloween, and Christmas pieces are just a few examples of the larger projects that I LOVE!

If you are looking for a smaller project, I would LOVE to recommend something like this little moose! 

One other thing that I LOVE about Rebecca Woods are her Christmas designs.  She offers both full stockings and smaller stocking cuffs (to add to your own stocking). How much would your family LOVE seeing either of these on your mantel?

If you are looking for something other than holiday pieces, I LOVE that she has those too! She has this darling little house ornament.

She really such a well rounded designer and I think that's what I LOVE the most.

Lots of Love,

Laura
