Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, now. You may be wondering just how many times I can possibly post images of handmade booties/slippers, and the answer is: infinitely. Especially when they’re adorably miniaturized like these.

I did it, my friends. I finished teaching my last class of the year, which included a quick overview of how to make these cuties shown above. If there is interest, I can sell the pattern and tutorial on my shop? Let me know.

I’ve also been working on a couple of books this year and those are near completion — or, at least one of the books is nearly complete, I should say more accurately.

So at this point, I’m super grateful that it’s the end of the year, that the holidays are upon us and that I can ease into some much anticipated relaxation. I’m also thankful for this blog space and you. A few weeks ago I spent some time reading through my archives and wow, I’m so glad I recorded all those funny conversations with M and K and the mind-boggling number of sewing projects! I loved the frequent engagement with y’all and though the comments are less these days, I still feel the encouraging energy from the ethers. Thank you.

Not that this blog is going anywhere. I’m making it sound like I’m going to sail away into the sunset never to return, but no, I’m just going to take my usual winter break. Despite my winter break, I will pop in to share free printable holiday tags soon-ish. It’s become a yearly offering that I enjoy creating very, very much.

Anyway. I’m off to enjoy Thanksgiving day! Wishing you and your loved ones a merry celebration if it’s part of your festive tradition; if not, I’m still wishing you a merry celebration because hallelujah, we’ve survived 2024 so far and I’m delighted that you and I are here on planet earth.
