i’m going on a birthday trip tomorrow-tuesday to an air bnb in middle of nowhere Illinois!!
are there any needlepoint stores near the area? not able to find anything through google so .. assuming it’s a no. just thought i’d ask!!!
my high school best friend is getting married this summer!
she is one of those people that you cannot buy anything for because she already has it all (no shade, just the facts lol) so i thought id make the couple a gift rather than buying one!
I’d like some couple related design ideas - i can paint my own canvas or purchase one either way. she is kinda uppity so i dont want it to be anything too silly or cheesy. something elegant and sweet - home decor that they will appreciate even after the wedding “honeymoon phase” has worn off!
thank you for any advice!
(my only idea was to design a matchbook with their new last name & wedding date? but thought that make be a little too simple or cheesy? she’s not a needlepoint gal or really much of a crafty person so i’m trying to make sure it fits her vibe as much as it aligns with my labor of love!)
hi, if this is not allowed i’m sorry!
i have started a small business painting canvases. i have been creating my own designs and making sales on etsy. i’ve had really good success so far!
i had a customer contact me after receiving her order and ask if i would work with her to design a custom canvas for her stitch club! they are going to watch a cubs game & have a needlepoint night. i am attaching the canvas below. i had such a fun time doing this for them and ended up having the opportunity to paint 9 of them & then have her a OG customer a freebie to raffle off for giving me a chance to boost my sales! 🥰 i put a lot of time and care into my designs and canvases. this is one of my smaller designs but as stated previously, i worked with the customer and her ideas to create exactly what she wanted! (Go cubs go with the O’s as baseballs - stamp style - was the direction i was given!)
because i enjoyed this process so much, i wanted to put feelers out and see if there was anybody else interested in something similar?
