A treasury that included my Moroccan needlepoint cuff made the front page overnight!

This is my latest needlepoint cuff bracelet design, my iron fritzed out on me yesterday so I have been delayed on the finishing part. I hated that iron any way, so next week when I get back from LA I will start foraging for a new one.
The colors for this design were inspired by a custom order I am finishing for one of my Etsy customers - I love custom orders because they inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and tap into new ideas! So, keep them coming folks.
This would look incredible as a pillow…maybe when work settles back down I will go for it.

Now for sale in my Etsy shop - stop by and take a look! This is the first in a line of crochet purses that I have been working on this year, more coming soon!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaw! Sold my first crochet necklace on Etsy yesterday, what a wonderful way to start the weekend! Since I am so anal, I made an entire new one to send to the customer. The original really was a prototype and my crochet skills are so much better now than 6 months ago or so when I first made it.
So this is a pattern called Pebbles that I had designed a ways back and now it has transformed itself into my latest cuff bracelet design. I really like this one!
Well, it took some doing, but my Etsy shop ModernNeedlepoint is finally up and running. Dean and I had fun getting it all set up this past weekend (well maybe I had more fun) and at the very least I am finally getting my work out there. I am enjoying the designing and stitching and am thankful I have a husband that is a crack photographer. More to come, but for now, back to stitching!

Can you tell it does not feel like the holidays here in TX? We have been in the mid-80’s and I am having a hard time coming up with holiday cold-weather designs! Pincushions are what I have been designing lately, I love how they look in my needlework basket but also just sitting and looking pretty on the shelf above my desk in my office. I am trying to figure out some more 3D designs - the butterflies are awesome but take forever to put together.
