As you can see we are a family based business.

Greeting Fellow Stitchers,

I have been doing art in one form or another all my life. It seemed only natural to combine it with my love for stitching. So years ago I began designing  things I wanted to stitch but couldn't find patterns for. 

In 1998, after my  father passed away, I took on guardianship for my mother (she has Alzheimer's) and moved her to Washington to be with us. I had taught art grades 1-12 for years but needed to be available 24-7. So I needed a home based business but also a way to do art every day to be happy. So... I have been doing this for 10 years.

I miss teaching bright young creative kids but I am challenged daily by the computer (you know what I mean). I do all my own computer work (I taught myself with a book) and many times thought a hammer might be just the tool to cure the problem LOL!!!

 I have the most supportive and encouraging family. My mother passed away 2008 on her 93rd birthday. She is buried with my dad in Arlington National Cemetery. My daughter, Becky, has finished her nursing degree at Pacific Lutheran University and no longer lives at home. She married the love of her life. They have been dating since they both were 16. Steve Ericson (my new son) is a firefighter for the city of Seattle. Becky works at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital and helps out with the business when I send up an SOS. My husband of 30 years is a teacher and ran the this business single handed in 2005 when I had back surgery and was out of commission for 6 weeks. I call that a pretty great family...don't you?

If you have a question just give a call 253-848-9020 (I answer the phone with hello) or email cpbemlet@msn.com . I love to meet and get to know new people. 

May you always find the pattern you are looking for, warmly,

...
