This month I'm gearing up for my 4th Creative Retreat in Soria, Spain. I can not wait to host the five wonderful women who are joining me this year, because there is absolutely something about Spain.
If you are an interior designer gathering inspiration (or purchasing antiques,) an artist coming to be inspired by Spain, or just want a creative reset, please know that I can not wait to host you for a week to see the world from a new angle!
Each of these trips has inspired me greatly and I love sharing 'my version of Spain' with American travelers!
I'm offering just a few more 'How to Needlepoint Classes' in September, and hope that if you have wanted to learn how to stitch, you join in. The class will go over the basics of needlepointing and will come with a kit that includes a hand painted sample canvas, needles and threads.
The goal of this workshop is to get students stitching with confidence and to learn the most basic stitch: the basketweave. Bring your glasses and a pair of sewing scissors (if you have them!) and dig into your newest hobby!
As we kiss summer goodbye, I want to share this beach-themed candycane canvas inspired by one of our families' favorite vacation spots, Ponte Vedra, Florida just outside of Jacksonville.
The finished version of the Ponte Vedra Canvas: finishing done by my local needlepoint store, The Needletree in Greenville SC!
The newest Needlepoint Ornament design, The Christmas Angel, is here! This Christmas Angel is inspired by the joy of the holiday season.
The canvas measures approximately 4.5 x 4 inches and is painted on 18 count mesh. It was designed as a Christmas Ornament, but can be anything you can imagine!
Recently, I created some little watercolor angel studies with my daughter. They were so much fun that I added a wash of color to them and decided to offer them to my collectors as a 'mini series'.
The Angels are listed on my site and I hope you all enjoy them!
