Ooh look at me doing the TDITM Extra Credit! But n Ooh look at me doing the TDITM Extra Credit! But not really because this True Love Heart is not for Lydia, it's actually a replacement for the Jewel colorway sample I gave away as a gift a few years ago. (Gorgeous merino wool from @feltontheflyco) I have always meant to replace it (plus the accompanying Lord) and I'm finally making good. *swipe* You see I have my resident turtle doves hanging up over my desk so they can all stare at me pointedly until I have sewn Lydia's. Fingers crossed for a more timely finish this month. I haven’t seen a tag yet for a finished one on IG, but I’m loving all you early birds posting yours in the pinned post on my Facebook page! (mmmcraftspatterns on FB)

YAY! THE JEWEL PALETTE IS AVAILABLE AGAIN! If you YAY! THE JEWEL PALETTE IS AVAILABLE AGAIN! If you have been waiting to purchase my curated Twelve Days Jewel palette, wait no more! @feltontheflyco has a new owner and new Etsy URL. Check her IG profile for the link.
Samantha is ready to ship you this lovely 31 sheet bundle of rich, jewel-toned merino wool felts! You will receive all the felts I used to make the Sapphire, Gold, and Emerald samples you see if you swipe.
(Unfortunately, Raw Umber is still not available at this time, but see my note in the FOTF color guide about a great substitute: mmmcrafts.com > color guides + kits)
Best wishes ❤ to Janet on her retirement, and congratulations 🎉 to Samantha on her new business!

JANUARY CHALLENGE FINISHED! With hours to spare! L JANUARY CHALLENGE FINISHED! With hours to spare! Like I said, pah-lenty of time. LOL *yawns hugely* Little too close for comfort, but I made it! Only two do-overs and one color freakout. *high fives self* This is my first finish using Lydia's TDITM palette, and I think I'm gonna love it? Already redoing the embroidery colors in my head, but imma let it go for now. Sorry for the dull photos, the light here is absolutely abysmal because of the gray sky and snow flurries. My feet are starting to get kinda cold up here in the studio and my late bedtime is catching up with me, so I'm gonna go brew a nice hot cuppa tea to have next to me up here.
If you are still sewing your January challenge, no worries, you got this. Plenty of time. Have some chocolate and get stitchin'. LOL
