PreMed Wears Pearls

  It has been awhile since I chatted about anything needlepoint related. I am still love to stitch, but have not been doing it as much, lately, because I am about done with the two canvases I have and am in need of some more. It can be hard to select your next canvas because the needlepoint world is pretty big, and there are so many cute little shops and designers with adorable projects! This list could have been SO long, but I really tried to narrow it ahha. I find a lot of canvas inspiration from my needlepoint Instagram, @libbylovesstitching, as I follow several small shop accounts and always see them in my feed!

I am also getting a custom canvas from this shop that I am so excited for! Penny Linn Designs Blue Manolo Lycette Designs Bow Eyeglass Case As always, #dontforgetyourpearls

Before buying a canvas and pattern to learn the skill, I definitely saw it take off as a trend. This is one trend I can get behind! I started with this pineapple cross-stitch pattern+canvas I found at a big box craft store. After my mom showed me how to stitch, I was hooked. I started to needlepoint because I needed another outlet for stress relief as I started to rigorously study for the MCAT. It felt good to be doing something that required no real brain power or critical thinking. It was honestly love at first stitch 😂 It was perfect timing when quarantine started because I knew that I had something more to do to fill the extra free time. I love how it is an activity that involves working with your hands, and you can occupy them without holding your phone/tablet etc. It is the best way to relax AND be productive at the same time. It feels good to know that you are workin...
