Back 10 years or so ago when everyone was obsessed with knitting, I jumped on that train for a quick minute. But it didn't take me long to walk right back into the warm open embrace of my one true love: NEEDLEPOINT.

I haven't been doing much of it on my own recently because I've been too damn busy buying vintage needlepoint canvases off of eBay. But I think that's all about to change now that I've found Art Needlepoint.
