Crafty Framer has made my family so happy. They have framed multiple pieces of my Grandmothers art and they have turned out fabulous. Peggy was such a great help in selecting the matting and framing. Turned out absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much!
Wonderful shop with huge selection! Lovely, helpful staff and regulars and a cute little dog. What more could you want?
Excellent framing at a great price. Friendly staff. Beaucoup cross stitch patterns.

Nice shop. The owners are always friendly and ready to help.
Lovely, well-stocked store handling a huge amount of cross-stitching items! Friendly and courteous! 5-stars
Complete coverage of all things that use a needle and thread. Friendly & helpful staff. Excellent framing.
I’m so happy I found this store! They framed my Corona craft #1. Amazingly nice people.Please support local businesses!
While visiting grandchildren in the area, I was excited to hear of this shop as I’m an avid stitcher. The owner was very welcoming and helpful! I will definitely return every time I’m in town!
They have the most wonderful shop! If you like to do counted cross stitch, you will fall in LOVE with this place and especially the people there!! The first time I set my foot in the door, one of the ladies, sat with me an hour, helping me and she was AWESOME!!! 💝
The Crafty Framer is not only the best framing and cross stitch shop in existence, it has the friendliest, most personable folks running it. Once you step through their door, you cease being a stranger and become a life-long friend. I have had several items framed by Rick and Peggy and have always been more than pleased with their work and feel their prices are reasonable.
If you want excellent framing of your art work this is the place. Rick is the framer and Peggy is the front of the house person. Expect no rush service. Peggy will not tell you what to do but will help you select from there extensive inventory of frames and mats to help you get the best results. She has MANY years of experience to help you with your selections. to get the finished project you will be very satisfied with. They have framed about 25 to 30 of my wifes pieces and we have been completely satisfied with every one.
I went to this store for the first time today and absolutely LOVE it. Peggy is an amazing woman. She took time with me explaining the floss, material, kits, etc. I spent an hour and a half there and will DEFINITELY return again and again. As an avid cross-stitcher, this was a WONDERFUL experience. I did not meet her husband...YET...but will once I bring my present project in to get framed. EVERYONE...customers included, were very personable and I look forward to being part of this group.
Experience and friendly staff. Great folks, very helpful
Amazing, awesome, great great find. The owner was so so helpful, full of ideas and suggestions. I need to lock down my bank book as I will get in trouble in I near and distant future. We will be spending (haha) time and money there. Cross stitches come check this wonderful stor out, you will not be disappointed.
You need to allow plenty of time to see all this treasure chest has to offer. Wonderful people and a really good thread choice, the shop is full of worked samples to inspire you. Lucy the poodle is a cutie too. Tip: have lunch at the grill on the corner, good food and then go back to the cross stitch shop to see what you have missed earlier.
Had the pleasure of attending a full day of stitching on January 5 2019. Peggy and Rick ave very pleasant and fun. The event was wonderful
This place is located right next to the Mugs n Jugs on Keene & East Bay Drive. I went in with a unique piece to frame and a very tight budget. I was thinking I could compare prices with the big name M... craft store, but was really surprised to find an even better deal. Not only did I get a better price, I know my piece will be framed with pride, because this isnt just a regular job for them. The owners are incredible, wicked funny, and really know their stuff about art and the craft of framing... oh yeah, ask Mrs. about the different types of glass! We had three opinions: his, hers and mine for the project and ended up with something magical! Im grateful that I chose the Crafty Framer. Do yourself the favor, support local business, and save yourself a lot of money too!
I took in a couple pieces to be framed and worked with Rick on a Saturday. He even stopped eating his lunch to help me right away. You dont get service like they provided anymore it seems. They took the time to ensure my frames were exactly what I needed. I was expecting to pay a lot more for custom framing on three different pieces and was surprised at the low prices they were able to do them for.
Great place! There are so few cross stitch shops left. Very friendly, good inventory. I will definitely be back!
The staff here is very helpful and they have all you need and then some for cross stitching and framing
Great place to trade. They will take almost anything. Oldest Kiddie/Maternity resale shop in Tampa Bay. Christian-owned. Plays TheJoyFM over the speaker system. Perfect gated play area for littles and middles, while mom or dad or Nana shop.
Love it great selection of crossstitch supplies and very knowledgeable sales staff.lots to see and do.
Rick & Peggy are the best people in town. They make your memories look amazing. You have to check out the store. You can spend a whole day in there. Great Prices & Great People.
A lovely shop around the corner with beautiful embroidery floss, kits, supplies, books and framing. Feels like home and very warm and welcoming staff/owner.
All the cross stitch supplies you could ever want (if they dont have it in the store, they will order it for you) and their framing is top notch. The owners are great people and really have an eye for finishing pieces. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
What a great place to visit!!! Lots of frames!! Lots of cross stitch supplies. The owners are very friendly and have lots of knowledge about their products.
Wonderful shop, great customer service, learned a lot just coming to buy some floss. Will be back!
Such a warm and friendly experience; Peggy is very patient in answering questions and makes wonderful and helpful suggestions. Got freebies too. Truly a nice place for stitchers and out of towners to check out!
You will not find more honest and hard workingbusiness owners than Rick and Peggy Wittlake. As a cross stitcher, I have had many pieces framed. You will not be disappointed. The huge selection of cross stitch supplies is heaven! They go above and beyond and take pride in their work.
Very friendly place! They take time helping pick out the most perfect mats & frame for your project. Will certainly return & have more done. Thanks!
