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

NEWS & DOINGS
Scampers turned out to be pretty curious about my brother's new Halloween hat!
He kept moving, so it was difficult to get a proper photo.
My brother likes goofy hats, and he was kind of looking for something funkyto wear when giving out treats at the door on Halloween.
As it happened, all the Halloween stuff was on half price at the thrift store this past week, including the crazy hats.
I was tickled pink to find this crazy shark one among them: my brother will love it!!
The joke's on me, though. It was only after I got it out to the car that I realized that his hilarious new hat is actually a Halloween costume for a dog . . !
Honestly, that hadn't occurred to me, or to the folks at the thrift store, who had shelved it with the costume hats. And truth be told, it is possible to wear it that way. In any case, the kids will get a kick out of it on Halloween.
My sister is mad for penguins, so I couldn't resist this set of four mugs.
You can't really use them to drink from, but the upturned wing handles and the pretty blue scarves make them unique. My sister will get a kick out of them!
Technically speaking, I don't really need any more bobbins, but Santa found this pack of class 66 bobbins for only $1.
I have more than a dozen machines that use this size, and a few extras are always welcome.
Unless I miss my guess, I'll find these in my stocking on Christmas morning.
It's Christmas crafting time, and I'm sure to find a use for these wooden beads in my ornament making.
If I'd bought these at the dollar store, I'd have paid a lot more than the $1 that this brand new string cost me at the thrift store.
I used to do a lot of drawing and sketching, something I more or less gave up on during grad school.
I keep on meaning to get back to it, so thought maybe a new sketch pad would provide some additional incentive.
