Ridgewood has big plans for this design. Sadly, I don't know who created this Christmas tree, but it looks fabulous. UPDATE: I'm told this is from Trubey. Lovely!

Good News for Debbie Mumm Fans
Lots of folks admire the sweet designs of Debbie Mumm which Melissa Shirley has adapted to painted canvases. You can explore the available canvases here.

I just realized today that Debbie Mumm designs are licensed to cross stitch companies, too. If you are a fan of counted canvaswork, it's worth seeing whether you can adapt one of these cross stitch designs to your needlepoint.

By the way, if fashion isn't your thing, you can turn that neat belt canvas into a tray rim.
