Stitching: Bucilla Felt Applique Stockings

Did a lot of these this year... I've got three for sale right now [Winter Birds, Christmas Morning Raggedy Ann, and Ornamental Reindeer]

Still have a lot of uncompleted ones in a box if anyone wants to start a new tradition at their house next Christmas. I make them with a reinforced hang tag and often embellish or change a few things so they're not exactly like the kit requires. Super fun, but I think I'm done for a while. Going to focus on writing again.

Depending on complexity, these take 15-25 hours to complete, but they're so special, they've been worth the time for family members.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.

AI Narrated Audio Books Coming!

I'm so excited to share that I'm fast working towards having AI narrated books available for those of you who prefer to listen to books. They will be available through Google Play to begin with. I haven't decided where else I'll be making them available. Here's the first one. Books one and two will be available starting January 31, 2023.
