It is friday once again, and this week I’d like to put out a reminder that now is a great time to start your Christmas stockings if you want to be sure to have them ready by this December!

We’ve got a few stockings in the works.  The one below is a fantastic photo that we worked into our Christmas Photo Stocking Needlepoint Kit template.

Friday Favorites – Art Needlepoint – Stockings – Stamps

Here are some of the great needlepoint projects we made this week.

I’m really excited about one of our needlepoint belt designs!  You may be able to guess which one, but it is overshadowed by the large art needlepoint designs we did this week.  If you look closely at the needlepoint belt canvas, you’ll see we did a whole landscape scene.  It came out really well!

Finally, I’m adding some feedback we got from our customers last week!  We get a lot of great feedback that makes me smile but our marketing director said I should be sharing it, too.

Four New Needlepoint Stockings for Next Christmas

It is never too early to start on a personalized needlepoint christmas stocking.

If you’ve stitched one in the past, you’ll know the projects can stretch out over months, and if you start too late you may have to wait until the following year until it is done and ready for the recipient!

We created four new designs this month.

Two new Avesta designs that are coordinating but different.  These are just ripe for the creative stitcher, but detailed enough that any stitch is going to look great! Colorful Avesta Stocking Kit  Mixed Avesta Stocking Kit  Original Avesta Stocking Canvas

The Lollipop Mixed Stocking Needlepoint Kit coordinates with the Christmas Treats Canvas.

And lastly, the new Santa’s Dove Needlepoint Canvas could coordinate with the Reindeer Stocking and Nutcracker Stocking Needlepoint Kit.  These are not as color matched, but still would work together nicely.

Keep in mind, if you love these designs but want to change the color pallets, just let us know, all of our orders are custom made and of course your names will be put on your stockings and a preview emailed before the canvas is shipped!

Custom Christmas Stockings and Happy Holidays to All

Just in time for the holidays, I’m attaching pictures of a custom needlepoint christmas stocking that we stitched for a customer a few weeks back.  It was a big hit!

We used the Blue Snowman Needlepoint Stocking as the backdrop and replaced the snowman with their dog!

Also, before you leave this page, I want to thank all of our customers for keeping us very busy this year!

It has been a challenge to get all the orders finished in time, but we did it!  And, on that note, we will be taking some family time this year and will be closed for the holidays for the next two weeks.  (We will return emails and phone messages on 1/6/14)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Peace on Earth Personalized Needlepoint Christmas Stocking

Peace on Earth is a dream we all share in hopes for a brighter future.  The lion and the lamb symbolize the coming together of foes and the end of suffering on Earth.

Your Peace on Earth Needlepoint Christmas Stocking Kit is designed to be personalized with the name printed onto the canvas, so you won’t have to free hand anything!

If you want us to commission your own design, just let us know, we’d love to help!

Nutcracker Christmas Stocking Needlepoint Kit

Looking to wow your family members this Christmas?

Check out our new Nutcracker Needlepoint Christmas Stocking.

The design features an elegant nutcracker with a simple stripe background.  What I love about the stripes, is that they have the potential to turn into so many different things depending on the stitch you use!  I can see using Pavillion Diamonds, Medieval Mosaic, Double Brick, etc…
