The new Apocalypse alphabet continues this week with the letter "O", which will be available for free download in 2" size until 8 October 2026.
NOTICE
SITE UPDATE -- FINALLY!
My restoration of the storefront has been taking longer than expected for a couple of reasons: I've been re-digitizing many of the designs (driven by my new embroidery machine, which uses DST format). Also, I've had some health concerns that have been slowing me down some. I'm getting some tests done and am hoping that everything will normalize soon.
with all good wishes,
Jen

JEN'S PROJECTS
I paid $75 for this old black Singer -- kind of a high price for me to pay for a vintage machine. But this one was totally worth it! Find out why in my PDF, linked from 2026 project page.
My brother likes to sit outside while the weather is still nice.
So does Scampers, who generally lays seige to any chair that has just been vacated.
Turns out my brother's lawn chair is no exception.
My sister's crafting class will be making a Halloween wreath this week, complete with a witch's face: Scary and cool at the same time.
One thing strikes me as I look at my sister's latest masterpiece, though: the face bears an unmistakable resemblance to our Grade 3 teacher!
My sister did admit to taking some inspiration from memories of that woman. I'll leave it at that, except to say is that some people just should not be teaching kids.
I love the faux stained glass effect that's all the rage these days, so I couldn't resist trying one of those on-line sites that will render your images into a stained glass format.
The image I chose for my one freebie coversion was this one of the four stockings I made for DH and his siblings a few years back.
I was so tickled with the result that I couldn't resist making an ornament for each of the sibs, as well as for DH. I just love how they turned out.
DH hasn't seen the ornaments yet but I will show them to him before I mail them off to the rest of the family. I know he's going to love this as much as I do!!
Speaking of ornaments, I couldn't resist making this one for my sister after she mentioned Super Chicken the last time I talked with her.
As a kid, she was a big fan, and she still remembers all the words to the jingle. Come to think of it, we all do.
If you're in Saskatoon, you should make it a point to try Flamin Burger on 42nd: we went there for the first time yesterday, and we will for sure be returning. The hand-crafted burgers were delicious!
This is a Mom and Pop outfit, not a chain, and their burgers and fries are hand made from scratch. (I thought the fries were exceptional).Yum!!
