MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope you had a blessed Christmas and were able to spend time with your family. The past two weeks have flown by as I work on designing a fabric line in the midst of all the Christmas shopping, wrapping, cooking etc.

Creative Whims Live

We had our last CW Live (Creative Whims Live) class this past Tuesday. The new session starts January 5th. If you’re interested in painting with me live in a private Facebook group, please do! I supply the PDF for each lesson so no previous drawing or painting skills needed. Pictured below is the last lesson of Session 3. Learn more about CW Live here.

Your Finishes

Here are a couple of finishes from some amazing stitchers:

“Happy Birthday Jesus” is a Patreon chart stitched by Cristi Wiley Vanderslice

“Happy Birthday Jesus” stitched by Mendy Russell

“Pet all the Dogs” / “Hug all the Cats” was beautifully stitched by Žydrė Stankūnaitė

I finished another punchneedle from my “Celebrate” punchneedle book. I plan to make it into a pillow. The book is available at my Etsy Shop.

If you’re like me, you like physical photos, not just on your phone. I purchased this Kodak photo printer and I really like it. I downloaded the app to my phone and can print that way or I can hook my phone to it. It makes 4×6 color photos. You can find it on Amazon here.

STREET TACOS

We made street tacos last week and I can seriously say I could eat them every day! So delicious. I have the recipe here on my blog.

Whims of the Past

The past two Flosstube videos, I’ve shared my watercolor paintings. The next video I should finish them up. I’m curious how many I have. I may have to count them and let you know in the next post. Lots….let’s just say that!
