The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Hi y'all. This is houseguess, and I am your host, Kenzie Elizabeth. Think a Gen Z,

wannabe Martha Stewart, meets Dolly Parton, trying to live in a Nancy Myers movie in her 20s.

We talk all about life, relationships, navigating your 20s, closing at the bars, or waking up at 5 a.m.

Depending on our vibe that week.

Ultimately, living our best lives and figuring it out along the way.

So coming out, sometimes I have guests on who do really cool things, some of my best friends,

or it's just me in my house that I spend way too much time in.

So let's get into the show.

Hi, house guests. Welcome back to my home. This is the episode of all episodes for all of my

fellow needle cult members. We have Krista on from Penny Lynn. They actually just launched

their own podcast, which is incredible. She owns the brand that really just

spearheaded my needlepoint journey, which as we know, has it come my entire personality. My brand now

has needlepoint. We are just obsessed. I feel like I said, half of my life needle pointing and the

other half talking about it. And I know so many of y'all have gotten into it in the past couple of months, which is just so exciting. It's actually growing like crazy. So I figured she will be

the perfect woman to have come on the podcast and talk all about Needlepoint. You guys are going to

love this. We are off to New York City. It's a festive comfort episode. You guys are going to just

absolutely love her. If you guys haven't started Needlepoint and you're thinking, you know, I need another grandma hobby to take up or maybe this is your first one. This is the perfect episode for you. You guys are going to love this. If you guys are watching on YouTube, if you have, aren't, by the way, you need to be. The show is much better on YouTube. But if you guys are watching on YouTube, be sure to subscribe

So not to date myself, like 2009, 10 and when I picked it up. And I remember like around 2020 after I had gotten married, I was like looking for stuff. I was in the city and I wanted to like shop online. There was like nobody really online. I was like there has to be a better way. Like, a lot of stores were like,

call us to order. And I'm like, I would rather jump off of a clip. Yeah, I'm not going to call you. No, I don't call anybody. I was like, can we face time? But no, like, can I send you voice memo?
