Needlepoint is WAY too tedious for me.  Instead, I pick up amazingly beautiful framed, or sometimes incomplete needlepoints...and repurpose them.  Here is a pretty daisy pattern wrapped around a brick with batting.  I used a pretty toile on the bottom and then used vintage buttons to cover the ends. 

Daisies are my favorite, but I'm giving it to my girlfriend who recently commented that she needed a doorstop for her bathroom door!  Her home is gorgeous, filled with vintage and antique furniture.  This is perfect.  Oh, and it cost me $1.50.
