Needlepoint Love

   For my birthday my good friend Steel Magnolia had a custom monogram needlepoint key chain canvas made for me.  She has been working long and hard on the needlepoint key chain, and it turned out amazing!!  I am so impressed with her talents.


I love all the details and colors and especially love the argyle and monogram, I couldn't wait to see the final product.

A few weeks ago we took the canvas the local needlepoint shop to be finished and after much anticipation I finally got the key chain back.



It looks fabulous!  They were able to finish it off with ribbon, and I have already received so many compliments on it.  It makes me want to take up needle point ( Do I really need another hobby?!?)

A special thanks to Steel Magnolia for taking the time to make me such a special gift!!  I am obsessed!  I think you may give Smathers and Branson a run for their money ;)
