needlepoint has always been in my life.  my mother and aunts stitched gifts for me. my mother taught me the basics as a child.  all of my cousins were gifted with handmade stockings as babies by one of our great aunts.  when my older daughter was born, I wanted to continue the tradition.  so I stitched a stocking for her, and I've been hooked ever since.  both of my daughters have been my inspiration for stockings, tooth fairy pillows, jewelry and gifts.  

my older daughter was obsessed with mary poppins as a toddler.  we called the movie, "poppy," and even named a beloved stuffed animal poppy.  it was only natural to combine needlepoint with the sweetness of my girls to find the name poppypointe.
