Huge THANK YOU to You, and It’s Back to Work for Me
The halls of my house have been decked, pecan pie has been devoured, leftover turkey and ham have been reinvented several times over, shopping has been semi-completed. I even managed to lose a pound after Thanksgiving weekend at my weigh in. I did not expect that I can tell you.
ONE THOUSAND THANK YOUS for making my annual sale the best one ever! It’s clear y’all have some serious sewing to do. Chop chop! And I also have some serious ground to cover for this pattern. Nose is directly on the grindstone, I promise! Working working working. No one wants to finished with this two-in-one pattern more than I.
Every year I say to myself, LARISSA, I MEAN IT, DO NOT BE WORKING ON A PATTERN AFTER THANKGIVING. One of these years that is going to work out but it’s laughable I thought that might actually happen in 2020. I had very strong hopes to be finished with it by my sale but that was not to be. #life
I’ll shout about it on every available channel as soon as it’s in the shop. And that will be a wrap for 2020 and patterns. My goal was to release four patterns this year and that is what I’ll have done:
Mr Scrooge
Mr Marley (he was such a pain)
Little Elf Girl
Little Elf Boy
I decided in the end to make the girl and boy elves a two-in-one pattern, because it just makes more sense to me that way, even though they are mostly different. Oh. And I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it here, but I’ve expanded the ‘Twas the Night patterns to nine patterns. I just couldn’t get it done in six and still be happy.
My goal for 2021 is the same, only this time I hope to be finished by Thanksgiving. #goals #icandoit #timemanagement #morecoffee
I finished 17 Mrs. Claus and 12 Scrooge- now on Marley- Can't wait for your next ones…
Wowee, that's amazing! *high fives* Very happy you are enjoying the projects. Thanks so much.
I'm so excited to get the elf patterns when you are finished. I've gifted the Santa and Mrs. Claus ornaments and have received rave reviews! Thank you for your awesome work. 🙂
Finally diving into 12 Days, completed one partridge, one pear…lovely start. I do have a question. After I soaked off the stabilizer and dried the pieces, my stitching seemed a bit flat. Probably from pressing them into a folded towel to remove excess water. Tips of ‘fluffing’ the floss? Thanks, Kate
Hey Ramona! That's so great to hear. I love that! I so enjoy designing them! Thank YOU! 🙂
Hey Kate! I don't press the pieces under the towel, I simply lay them on top of a folded dry towel. That way your stitching does not get squashed! The towel wicks away the moisture from underneath. 🙂 PS You'll get a more timely answer for questions if you contact me via my Etsy shop.
