Have A Handmade Christmas This Year!

I am thinking handmade for all gifts this year: either made by me or by other fellow artisans. I am from a family of artists and artisans and the greatest honor for us was to receive something made by one of our family members. My online shop items are those which are inspired by gifts made for my family and friends. When one gives a gift that is handmade by you, you truly do give a piece of yourself to the recipient. It projects your thoughtfulness and time into the making of that gift.

Getting Back on Track & Free Artwork

After a schedule of 6 visits to hospitals and doctors, mainly for my father, within 8 days, I find that I may have time for doing some sewing and creating today.  I have a long list of projects to complete and need to get to it.  But, I am taking time out to publish this and let all, who are interested, know that I am back on track.  The artwork to the left is for your use if you wish to use it... All that I ask is that you give me credit for the artwork as that it is my creation.  It is a variation of one released last year (check out Art to Share tab at top of this page).  Have fun with it!
