Switching Colors on Canvases

I adore switching colors on canvases. A canvas could be painted in my favorite colors and I would probably still want to change the colors! My friends Coco and Miss B also adore changing colors on canvases. In fact, Miss B helped Coco choose colors for one of my favorite color swaps...ever! I mean...how fabulous is this panda? Absolutely BEYOND! If you have a canvas...

Lycette's Halloween Playlist

I love October! The crunch of leaves, carving pumpkins, wee ones dressing up, watching old "Bewitched" episodes, and a good cup of tea. Needless to say, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I have put together a playlist of fun and playful Halloween songs like "Monster Mash" amongst classics like "Witchcraft" by Frank Sinatra. The perfect playlist to listen to while roasting pumpkin seeds, enjoy! XO, ...

What I'm Loving...Vol II

This salmon recipe. Delicious. We used the leftover salmon for a breakfast quiche. When I turned 30 my skin changed from combination to dry. I apply this mask every other night, it revives my tired skin. David Shrigley's art brings me joy. Adding this necklace to my long term wishlist, so pretty. Classic, chic, functional. What more could you ask for in a handbag? I'll...

Italian Getaway

Last week Mr. Needlepoint and I snuck away to Positano, Italy to celebrate a wedding of our friends. Positano is gorgeous in a rustic, unstudied way. The town is built into a hill, like most of the Amalfi Coast. Greg and I started every morning with a double espresso and then proceeded to indulge in fresh seafood and unparalleled pasta. Thank goodness Positano is lined with steep...

Favorite Fall Canvases

Fall is here! The air is crisp, iced coffee is traded for Cortados, sandals are replaced with loafers, and cozy, oversized sweaters reign supreme. On weekends I adore stopping at my favorite coffee shop, taking a stroll, then cuddling into a well worn quilt and stitching the day away while fall favorites like Bewitched play in the background. I stitch geometrics, vegetables, woodland animals, prints, and muted...

What I'm Loving...

I have long neglected this blog. This summer was busy. I was tired. When I come home from work I just want to stitch. I consider still enjoying needlepoint a blessing, especially since needlepoint is my job. I have partially neglected this blog because I have this pre-conceived notion that every blog post has to be spectacular...which it doesn't. How unrealistic, and utterly boring, to expect...

A Weekend in Paris

A few months ago a friend asked if I was interested in a long girls weekend in Paris. Of course my answer was yes! The past few months have been exhausting. Yes, this summer was fun and exciting, but ultimately exhausting. Turns out opening a second store in a different state is a ton of work, duh. So, a chic and quick escape was needed. Paris is...
