Lycette Drop
I was able to snag my first ever PS today, and can not wait for it to arrive!!!! The canvas in this drop were sooooo gorgeous. I will now be on a canvas ban for the foreseeable future. Does anyone have any framed PS canvases they want to show off, Id love to see!!

😂 Believe me, this is the only one I’m ever allowing myself to buy/that I will be quick enough to buy. From now on, I’m on STRICT no buy (well, accept for threads) lol.

I was at a back to school thing for my kid that started right at the drop time. I managed to get on at like, 11:01 central, and all PS was OOS. 😑

I reloaded the site right as it hit noon and cashed out, although I’ve done that before and still wasn’t fast enough. I truly think it’s just the luck of the draw, although it shouldn’t have to be so crazy.

These are very cute, but they look like a challenge to stitch because of their whimsical nature.

Def going to take my time and do section by section. I’m guessing it’s going to take a few months at least to complete

Because you have self control, smart thinking lol. I wish I could say the same, but I fell in love with the canvas when they posted the other day what was dropping and then panicked lol.

Same. I wanted the one with the 2 bunnies on separate beds and wanted to stitch 1 side blue and 1 pink because my kids share a room and that’s how their room looks like and I wanted to frame it in between their beds. But $318 for one canvas? Come on now

I couldn’t justify spending $300+ on a canvas 🫣 it was then I learned I do have limits when it comes to needlepoint.

I grabbed this one, also my first Paige spearin and I'm so excited for it to get here! Also definitely on a buying pause haha
I was hoping to get the pig in bed as well but didn't get back to it in time. Totally agree everything from this drop was gorgeous

These are adorable - I got the Martini Alligators at the bar in the last drop and I am SO excited. I’m going to take a minute and really plan out how to stitch and with what thread choices. Would love to see how you all stitch your canvases.
I bought a Coco Frank/Inslee Faris canvas for my bday and saved it to stitch when I needed a good fun project. Going to do the same with the alligators. They are just lovely.

That is such a good idea! I agree, this is one I want to really take my time on and stich over like a year while I’m working on other canvases. I think I’m going to kit it in sections too so it’s not so crazy, I should have got it kitted when I bought it but part of the fun for me is picking it all out in person.

Gosh I can’t justify PS prices. I want one sooo badly but this will set me back more than I care to be.

I have a question. Her work looks like it’s painted free handed and not with the needlepoint painting, right?

I snagged this one as well as my first PS. Love the trellis design and can’t believe it didn’t sell out right away like the others.
