I love gingerbread cookies and I also love the canvas LLBEAN totes....I spent every Summer at my family's summer cottage on an island off the southern coast of Maine.....and every summer our big treat was a visit to the LLBEAN store in Freeport ,Maine...we would get a new canvas tote to use all summer, on the boat, at the beach ,on picnics...basically using this very versatile tote for everything ...it was so tuff that it would never wear out...get dirty and yuky maybe...especially when we would tote crabs and clams from the beach...I sent this new little tote to my finishers at Stitchery Square in Camden ,Maine ..they always do a wonderful job...this tote has two gingerbread cookies I worked on 10st...appliqued on each pocket ... I also sent some of these wonderful fimo beads that were hand made for me to add to the fun...........you almost wish it was Christmas so you could take it out for a spin...
I am a working artist. I have been designing needlepoint since 1972,when after graduating college , I took an apprenticeship at American Needlework Center in Georgetown, DC. I found my calling and have never looked back.I have designed for the Washington Cathedral and the White House and continue a large custom business . In 2000 I started to design for wholesale under the name BY GAIL .In 2004 Squiggee designs was born and introduced on eBay. These designs appeal to me, just fun! Squiggee opened up the world embellishments to me. I have been married to a very wonderful master cabinet and furniture designer going on 37 years.He is the only man that has not bored me.He has a wicked sense of humor and a loving nature,we are well matched.Since his early retirement in 2008, he joined the Squiggee Family , managing the office and he is our link to the shops. He has become such an intracranial part of the day to day running of Squiggee Designs , that shops refer to him as " Mr. Squiggee". We have a Chi-weenie named Twinkle , a mix of Doxie and Chihuahua and her older brother, a six year old black miniature poodle named Omar , who sports with a small white goatee.
