2021 Year of puzzles
I'm addicted to puzzles lately. This is just a sample of the ones I've finished. Right now I'm working on a paint-by-number picture. I will post a pic later when it's finished. Also, here's a little painting I did for my room. And a picture of my office. I am a Financial Administrator for a local company so I work with numbers all day. Yeehaw! Also, me and my cat :)

2020 projects
Here are some of the projects I've been working on this year; a journal with a ribbon tie, a seventies-esque embroidered pillow, and a green hanging weaving. The stay-at-home order is sorta driving me nuts. I miss my extended family and going to the movies. Maybe I can get another book made before the order is lifted. :)

Cathedral Pillow
I finally finished a Cathedral window pillow! Most of it was sewed by hand so it took me quite a while. I'm really happy with how it turned out thought. :)

Polar Bear Handmade Journal
I made a design on an embroidery hoop of a polar bear and then moved it to book board and sewed in six signatures of heavy drawing paper. It was a fun project and helped distract me from the pain in my back from getting moles removed and stitches right under my tight bra strap. ugh! I'm still recovering but getting better every day.

Embroidery Paisley Fish
I was trying to come up with a good reason to stop crafting because I was in a rut. But I realized that blogging helps me feel connected to the world in a way that makes me happy. Plus, when I'm crafting I feel like I'm producing something rather than just consuming as usual. I may only have four followers, but I am doing this for me. I am crafter, hear me roar!! JK

Embroidering my childhood home
Unfortunately 2D & 3D are worlds apart. Anyway, this is my childhood home on the coast of Oregon. I lived there until 4 months before my 12th birthday. It has only happy memories for me, although the overcast skies and rain were certain to put a damper on any outdoor activity you wanted to do. <3

Christmas Reindeer
I made a toy reindeer to put next to my mini Christmas tree. I love making toys! I wish it was my full time job. I especially like the cute tassels on the sash. It is my dream life to design toys. Maybe someday my imagination will kick in. ;P

Forest Journal
I embroidered trees then added them to a journal. I made the back cover a forest green cotton material to add contrast to the grey front cover. I was really happy with how it turned out, even though it's slightly crooked. :)

Pokemon
My daughter Sylvia created a Pokemon named Oosier (Oo-see-air) that is part deer and part swan. I made a felt image of it just for fun. I also made a felt Pikachu.
