FREE ALPHABET LETTER

  • This  Pretoria alphabet is similar to one that's built in to many of Brother's embroidery machines.  The letter Z is available free in 2" size until 18 April 2024, completing the alphabet. 

NOTICE


TO ALL MY EMBROIDERING FRIENDS

I regret to announce that the on-line store portion of my site will be closing as of the end of this month (April 2024). 

The closure has been a difficult decision, but a change to Yola's terms of service, coming on top of some ongoing health issues, has made it impractical for me to continue the store portion of the site. 

My plan at the moment is to continue to post free designs and projects, but -- unless I can find some other alternative -- I will no longer be offering  designs for sale.  If there are designs you've been meaning to purchase but have been putting it off, you may want to do that before the end of the month. 

On a personal note, I've met some truly wonderful people through the site over the past decade, and I'm grateful for the support and friendship I've found here. I hope that I've been able to return these in some measure through my shared designs and projects. 

with all good wishes,

Jen

JEN'S PROJECTS

  • This is a lovely jigsaw puzzle, but  I'm goaded by that missing piece! To see what I did about that,   click here to find a link to my PDF.
  • At the same time, you can check out the PDFs of my previous projects from this year and former years.




NEWS & DOINGS

  • Turns out Scampers is a bookish kind of guy: he seems to love to be around where the books are. More likely,  it's just that wherever you go in this house, there are books! 
  • This school desk is one of his favourite perches -- from this vantage point he can keep an eye on the room, and also watch comings and goings down the hallway. 
  • I dunno why, but I've always been fascinated with office supplies and stationery . . . and staplers. I already have several desk staplers, but I couldn't resist this nifty little hand stapler when I saw it for 50 cents. 
  • I don't knit or crochet, and I probably don't have much practical use for this daisy knitter gadget. But it's a vintage craft item bearing the imprint of Eaton's,  Canada's once iconic department store, now sadly gone forever, so I couldn't leave it behind for only $1.
  • I've never been good at identifying constellations, although I used to go regularly to watch the star shows at the planetarium near where I lived. 
  • My friend is a more accomplished sky watcher, so Santa was pleased to pick up this pack of playing cards for his Christmas stocking. 
  • This crazy wooden robot is  just too adorable!
  • He's a simple toy, really: just roll him along a table top using the control rod in his back.  When he's on the move, his arms swing jauntily and his mouth opens and closes. 
  • I love these kinds of homey playthings: they remind me of the little toys that my dad made when I was a kid. He'd have loved this one.  
  • I bought my robot with the idea that he'd make a great stocking stuffer for someone on my list, but I like him so much that I might just keep him for myself. We'll have to see what Santa says about that.
  • My nephew is a major Riders fan, and I think this lapel pin will be just the thing to put into his Christmas cracker!
  • With the touch screen on my embroidery machine out of commission, I won't be doing any embroidery for a while . . . until I can make arrangements to trundle it out of province for a tune-up. Since our tech retired, there's nobody nearby who can do the servicing. I won't have embroidery capability again until at least the fall . . . Rats!
