If you love the centuries-old craft of needlepoint, program your GPS to take you to The Needle Works. They’ve been in Austin since 1978, selling high quality, hand painted needlepoint canvases, fine threads, notions, needles, and other supplies. The store moved into a new space not too long ago; it’s a spacious, 3500 square foot showplace, built in the Craftsman architectural style.

Carol Lake Designs, Elizabeth Turner Collection, Barbara Russell Designs, Robbyn’s Nest Designs, Sundance Designs and Pease on Earth Designs are some of the large array of canvas designers in stock at The Needle Works. You can also expand your needlepoint horizons with a class, either one-on-one or in a group. Visit the website for a calendar of classes and pricing information!

The Needle Works is open Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Get your sweet fix at Sugar Addict Bakery, where delectable pastries and coffee are what’s on the menu. Take a trip to New Orleans’ French Quarter with a plate of hot beignets, those delicious pastries doused liberally with powdered sugar. Other varieties include a Nutella and strawberry beignet and a Nutella and banana beignet.

Despite the name, not everything at this bakery is sweet. The two-egg breakfast beignet is a savory and satisfying choice for your morning meal. Other options include stuffed beignet balls with cheese and your choice of chicken or pastrami, the rotisserie chicken Beignet with creamy havarti cheese, and a smoked pastrami beignet with organic spring leaves.

Take home a dozen or two of the delectable cupcakes swirled with vanilla or chocolate icing.

Sugar Addict Bakery is open Wednesday through Sunday.
