If you know me or watch me on TikTok you know that I love a good red lip. 💋 Red lipstick has long been associated with the struggle for women’s rights and during WWII it also became a symbol for victory over Nazism (as it was hated by Hitler.) babel.ua/en/amp/texts...

My needlepoint design - “freedom” stitched and finished with sequins. The ability for women to choose how many children they want and when to have them - if at all - is a human right. It is also central to women’s empowerment, reducing poverty and achieving sustainable development.

Textiles and fiber arts have played a bigger role in the political conversation than most appreciate.

My needlepoint design tributes to Dr. King on his day. #needlepoint #mlkday

These woodland creature cuties make for the most adorable and beginner friendly needlepoint canvases! Just restocked at spellboundstitchery.com

I just love this new needlepoint design. Hand painted on 13 mesh 8x10 - perfect for a pillow! I am wondering if less scrolling means more stitching time. 🤔 #needlepoint

I am hosting a needlepoint zoom tomorrow night to stitch together and talk. I plan to share some of my thoughts on maintaining creativity and sensitivity in times of stress and suffering - something I’ve been asked about a lot. Sign up to my e-newsletter (via website) to get the info!

Allow me to vent my worries here for a second (scream into the void, whatever) but the loss of TikTok feels so visceral to me for two reasons:

The "slow breathing to convince your body that you are not actually in physical danger" thing actually kinda works, y'all.

My go to fix for sadness - Ted Lasso, cheesy pasta, and needlepoint. 🥰

I just need y’all to know - the silly can be sacred.

This is so silly but I feel DEPRESSED at the thought of tiktok going away. The community built there - unmatched. My ability to reach new needlepointers, answer questions about stitching, reach audiences with my educational content, and share my art with the world felt so easy and effortless.

I have had this Dark Florals Iris kitted for a while and today is the day to get a new needlepoint WIP ready to go! I am really excited to stitch this needlepoint project over the winter break! Maybe i will have it finished by the time the irises come up in my garden. #needlepoint #fiberart

I am partway done with my first ever needlefelting project and I am having way too much fun stabbing the wool over and over to create this tiny sculpture. I am adding a layer of alpaca wool strands to the sheep’s back to make the sheep look extremely wooly! #fiberart #needlefelting

Custom needlepoint isn’t a big part of my business any more, but I am so proud of these recent customs!

One of Spellbound Stitchery’s newest hand painted needlepoint designs, currently available for preorder.

I hope that stitching this piece brings comfort and hope. I wept when I heard these words.

Some needlepoint stitching on my design Mystic Crystal Ball

What’s the equivalent of a bat signal to needlepointers? An overly full ort jar? (This one is my friend Tracey’s.)
