belt it

I designed these needlepoint belts and they are still going strong over here.  We have a saying around my place- when we need to save a little or lose a little, we say "tighten the belt - dear!" Well, with Thanksgiving upon us and the current state of the economy, times seem to indicate a little saving is in order, tighten that belt or loosen it, whichever suits you or yours.  

I especially loved designing the bottom one, a fire breathing dragon for my Knight.  Life is all about choices, which one would you belt?

Here boy, dinner time!  Time for a new belt, a needle-point belt, collar, pillow!  I love to hand paint designs for various clients and then they go to town, one stitch at a time.  I love needlepoint and the way you can make a design come to life with yarn.  So, if you are thinking about the next project (while the one you are working on is nearing completion) call on me to paint you a little personalized diddy, dog, or one-of-a-kind design.  Makes a great gift that will keep you, literally in stitches.  My love of needlepoint began with a friend's Mother who worked at a lovely shop and I began as a young girl.   Needlepoint, Knitting, Drawing all have a special way of making me calm and crazy at the same time.
