Handmade Christmas part 2


I wanted to paint something unique for my parents that represented our growing family. I fiddled around with a couple family tree ideas but nothing seemed to look right. After reading Psalm 127 one night I came up with this picture. There is an arrow for each of my siblings, our spouses and children. As soon as my parents saw it my dad joked that I will need to hang canvases underneath for all the little arrows to come...patience, Dad, patience.



For my niece and nephews I sewed a puppet theater. It hangs in the doorway from an expandable curtain rod. At first the window sagged badly, so I sewed a little pocket to hold a dowel rod. Now it sits nice and straight. The sock puppets were made following the tutorial from One of a Kind.

  2. I had the pleasure of stumbling upon this charming ice cream shop during a weekend stroll, and it was love at first bite! The flavors are creative, the staff is friendly, and the ambiance is cozy. If you're searching for a delightful dessert experience, look no further than this hidden treasure. You won't regret trying their scrumptious NYC ice cream.
