Personalized Mini Hoop Ornaments

This has been one of our most requested kits, and we're so excited to finally have it ready for you!

Our new Personalized Mini Hoop Ornaments let you stitch three festive little hoops, each finished with the name of someone you love, so they become keepsakes you'll bring out and hang on the tree year after year.

We filled each design with our favorite details of the season: pine branches, sprigs of mistletoe, bright red berries and a sweet stitched bow, all in a cheerful palette of red, blush pink, light green and forest green.

In this beginner-friendly project, you'll practice back stitch, straight stitch, satin stitch and French knots, building up lovely texture while each hoop comes to life.

Keep them for your own tree, or stitch a set as a thoughtful handmade gift for family and friends.

Makers Academy Spotlight

This week, Makers Academy Member Victoria shared her latest project 👻

She said: "Just finished this cute trick or treat bag for my daughter. All ready for Halloween! Still getting the hang of stitching on anything not cotton fabric. Changed up the colours a little to work on the darker fabric."

In Our World

Hello everyone! I had such a wonderful weekend celebrating my birthday and feeling extra loved! Now that I’m officially the big 3-0, I’ve been doing a little reflecting on the last few years and just feeling really grateful for where life has taken me. It’s pretty special to realize that I’m doing something today that 10-year-old me used to tell everyone she wanted to do when she grew up. I think little me would be pretty excited to see where we ended up!

I feel so lucky to have found my way onto the Clever Poppy team, and I’m so excited to see what this next year has in store!

We’re also finally releasing a product that feels like it’s been in the works for AGES - the Personalized Mini Hoop Ornaments!

I’ve had so much fun working on these and filming the video experiences, and I’m so excited that we can finally share them with you. They are seriously SO much fun to stitch, and I have a feeling you’re going to want to make one for everyone you know!

And now we’re already looking ahead to next year! I’ve been working on plans, patterns, and lots of new ideas, and man, there’s never a dull moment around here. We’re always thinking about how we can make things better for our members and how we can continue to serve our amazing community of stitchers. There’s lots to look forward to, and I can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!

Happy stitching,
