The new Apocalypse alphabet continues this week with the letter "S", which will be available for free download in 2" size until 5 November 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'm gonna use these items to make a nifty ornament for DH! To see what I made, check out the 2026 project page.
If you feel like more of a browse, you can explore the rest of my crafting adventures all the way back to 2018.
NEWS & DOINGS
Not much chance of getting my Christmas sewing finished with Scampers around.
Even changing machines won't dissuade him: he just gets up and moves to whatever machine I'm working on.
We didn't get out this week because we had a contractor for several days to find and fix the source of a serious leak in the walls. Thankfully he was able to fix us up without exceeding his initial estimate.
The blistered wall is now repaired and looking good. Hope it stays that way.
I probably won't burn thse beeswax candles, but I do sometimes need beeswax for some of my projects, and these were a steal at $1 for the pair.
Santa knows that I use a lot of these 5mm fused beads on my crafts.
He also knows that green metallic ones can be tough to find, so he grabbed this pack for only $1.
I've got a feeling I'll find these in my stocking on Christmas morning.
I've already taken apart this string of gold beads, which yielded quite a variety of shapesthat I can use in my crafting.
Louise has been in touch for a couple more ornaments, including this one for Baby Archie.
This is just a screen shot -- I'll be stitching up the ornament itself over the weekend.
I love that "cool dots" font!
It'll be November 1st soon, and time to mail my Christmas parcels.
That means it's cracker time: I make between 10 and 14 each year.
They are fun to assemble, but actually they're a lot of work. I don't know how my sisters manage the 4 dozen or so that they make. Yikes!
Their ornaments are a bit too pricey for my budget, but I sure do like looking. And if I were actually at Harrods, I would certainly buy one as a souvenir.
Meanwhile, if you've read this far, maybe you'd like to add a bit of luxury to some of your own handmades; if so, you can grab this extra freebie design in three sizes.
