With the warmer weather upon us, we definitely take notice of the living creatures that have been missing all winter; only to have made new homes and habitats in our backyards. Some of these creatures are sweet and friendly; the rabbit that likes to eat your flowers. Some annoying; the wasps that have made a new nest in your wind chime. And some . . . we\u2019ve just never seen in our backyard before. This month at NeedlePaint<\/span><\/a>, we\u2019ve taken inspiration from nature, and have created two new needlepoint belts canvases<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"gecko<\/a><\/p>\n

Our first new creation is the Southwestern <\/span>Gecko needlepoint belt canvas<\/span><\/a>;<\/b> inspired by a sighting in my own backyard, and from some ancient cliff dwelling drawings. We\u2019ve added a modern southwestern color twist to this gecko who runs along the length of our needlepoint belt. These gecko\u2019s are clever, and secretive, and famous for climbing sheer vertical surfaces, walking up a wall, or hanging from the ceiling. What\u2019s not to love about this lizard.<\/p>\n

\"frog<\/a><\/p>\n

Another NeedlePaint<\/span><\/a> nature inspired creation, is our Green\u00a0Frog needlepoint belt canvas<\/a><\/span>. Jumping across the length of this belt, who doesn\u2019t have a vivid childhood memory of trying to catch that one elusive frog at the nearby pond or ditch. Too bad Mom, wouldn\u2019t let you keep him!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These belts are both colorful, both playful, both great for young and old. Available as a belt canvas you can stitch yourself, or a completely finished belt. This is the perfect sized needlepoint project to take on a vacation; it\u2019s smaller, more manageable, and will fit into your carry-on, or in your car\u2019s glove box.<\/p>\n

We hope that you enjoy your summer, and embrace what nature has to offer.\u00a0Even if it\u2019s not cute and fuzzy!<\/p>\n
