Happy holidays! While I’m taking some time away from blogland, I’ve got posts scheduled to run on my regular routine so that I can show you the Christmas gifts I wasn’t able to write about during the year. Enjoy, and I’ll see you on the flip side! Our immediate family has taken a liking to [...]

Finished and Framed
It’s been a busy, busy weekend. We got our Christmas tree and decorated it (after spending way too much time testing and replacing lights), and I finally completed my big embroidery project. I’m on a roll now, working away at the few remaining hand made gifts. I wish I could show all of them to [...]
My Creative Space: Cutting Paper
This week’s creative space has been about a variety of things. I’m working up the last couple of crochet or knitting projects and printing a few T-shirts with fabric dye pens. And I’m learning how to make paper cuts, which I’m quickly learning I quite enjoy. The Christmas gift list has dwindled to a few [...]
Small Stock
Well, hello! I had a very lazy weekend, so now I’m trying to get myself moving again…. While I’m, ahem, working on that, I thought I’d go ahead and start listing a few items in the shop (from my place on the couch, of course). These are all things I’ve had here for a while [...]
My Creative Space: String Theory
There’s been a lot of stitch-picking in my creative space this week. Yeah, it’s been one of those days. But I did finally put the wraps on some hand-bound journals and some fabric pouches, all of which are destined to go into gift sets for Christmas … which means that’s about all I can say [...]
Seeking My Watercolor Self
Do you remember how I was recently playing around with watercolors? And how, months ago, I said one of my goals for this year was to get a very, very early start on Christmas gifts? Well … tada! I painted up some flowers and some birdhouses and turned them into greeting cards. I’ve got two [...]
My Creative Space: A Change of Pace
This week’s creative space has a little more variety in it than I’ve seen of late. I’ve got one more baby blanket on the needles. (This is hopefully the last for a while, if my friends would just stop having babies!) There’s a trial-and-error, not-sure-I’m-going-to-go-through-with-this, experiment-type project. And there is, finally, a little experimentation in [...]
A Pretty Package
With shop updates comes the need for packaging supplies. Since I finally managed to add some things to the shop, I also found myself creating some functional items, like display cards for brooches and envelopes for card sets. I actually enjoy this part of the process. I like being able to be creative in order [...]
Quiet Waters
A few posts ago I showed you a greeting card made for remembrance and said I’d be back with more to say about it. Well, here I am! A year ago this month, a good friend of my husband’s passed away. Hubby wanted to send a card to his friend’s family to let them know [...]
Greetings
I’ve been in the card-making business lately. For birthdays: For anniversaries: And for remembrance: More on this last one in another post to come.
