Will you just look at that gorgeous tefillin bag! It is simply delicious to behold. Judges at the Maryland State Fair agree and awarded the tefillin bag a place of honor in the Home Crafts exhibit. Needless to say, the design behind this work of art is none other than Pepita’s Tefillin Pinwheel with some color customization and personalization. Congratulations to awesomely talented customer Ellen for this worthy win and thanks a million for sending us a photo!
We received orders this week for both Mr. Trump’s portrait and Mr. Obama’s, presumably due to this week’s inauguration.
Today is National Puppy Day! The point is to adopt a puppy from a shelter and provide a loving home. Try adopting a needlepoint puppy design too. 25% off all puppy and dog needlepoint canvases today only.

25% off all pear and dessert canvases in honor of National Pears Helene Day.
From www.nationaldaycalendar.com:
March 15th is National Pears Hélène Day. This food holiday is about the delicious smooth french dessert combining warm poached pears, vanilla ice ream and chocolate sauce.
Over time, simpler versions of Pears Hélène have been modified by substituting poached pears with canned pears and the delicate crystallized violets have been replaced with sliced almonds. These modifications have made it easier for more cooks to prepare this must-have dessert.
25% off all Floral Design needlepoint canvases (that’s a lot of canvases) in honor of this fragrant flowery day.
From www.nationaldaycalendar.com:
National Floral Design Day is observed annually on February 28th. For thousands of years, floral design has been an important cultural art form. This is the day we celebrate that art form. It may be in a bouquet, a painting, in fabric, in a garden or a floral arrangement.
Floral design is a multi-billion dollar industry that brightens our lives on a daily basis.
As with many arts, floral design has traditional roots hearkening back to Egyptian temple offerings to gods. Design changed from era to era, each having distinct customs and traditions.
Dog owners celebrate Dog Biscuit Day by treating their dogs to a special dessert. We’re treating all dog lovers to 25% off all dog needlepoint canvases in honor of this day.

Today has been designated to celebrate umbrellas. Umbrellas have been around for over 200 years. It’s the one thing your mother always warned you not to leave home without. Umbrellas remind us mostly of wet and cold things like rain and storms, but also of large sun umbrellas at the beach, peace-of-mind umbrella insurance policies, and vaudeville tap-dancing acts. Enjoy 25% off all umbrella needlepoint canvases throughout the day.
