about me

Greetings!
My name is Bethellen and I have a heart for vintage mostly from the 1950's, 1960's & 1970's decor, crafting + movies and tv from the 50's and 60's. (I adore Doris Day, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, the Jetsons and the Flintstones).  Needlepoint is a passion too. Definitely retro with a modern twist.

Here I will share my pieces of the past, my needlework from then and now (and my mother's too) plus all things Thread Candy Studio.  It's the new book series with all things modern/retro needlework and more in store. It evolves and changes with each book too!

I do hope you enjoy your time here and creating the projects inspired by my youth, my mother's youth and my grandmother's youth.

Thanks for visiting!
