"There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are." Said guess who?
That is right! You guessed it. This is a fairly tight prototype of Mr Scrooge, the first pattern in a new series called Ebenezer, based on Charles Dickens' Victorian novella, A Christmas Carol. I'm excited about it and I hope you'll enjoy it. It's going to be ornate and a bit spooky.
No worries, I'm also working on the third pattern design for my 'Twas the Night series. It's only in the design stages but I'll update when I can.
Design work is a nice distraction. I'm hanging in there. You? Air hugs to you, folks of the world, as we all hunker down and weather this pandemic. My cloistered family is just trying to get through each day and stay positive. We are now under a Shelter In Place order here in GA, but that is essentially what we've been doing already for weeks. I pray that you are well and staying encouraged, wherever you are in the world. I pray for all those on the frontlines of this nightmare, and also those working hard in the seldom noticed background, doing essential tasks to keep the world running. I'm trying to do my part to minimize the spread and stay informed. I'm going to sew some masks today.
Phil. 4:6-7 is my daily shelter right now. Maybe it will strengthen you too.
I can't wait to make these!!!!! You are so incredible! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Amy. All glory to God on that score. I sure enjoy designing them. Good thing there are so many good books to inspire.
DeleteOh my stars, ornate *and* spooky? Yes, please! Stay safe!
ReplyDeletehaha! Trying to ride the line of delightfully spooky and not scary. You too -- stay safe and well.
DeleteWould you add a tassle to cap? Love this!
ReplyDeleteYep! That's one of the things I'm finalizing. This is not a final sample, just a prototype, so minor changes are happening. :-)
DeleteEek, I love, love, love it! I'm so excited you're doing A Christmas Carol. I LOVE Dickens! Sorry, I got excited. :)
ReplyDeletehaha! Thanks so much! I'm excited too! *high fives*
DeleteFantastic. I’m working through the 12 days of Christmas and just finished day 5.

I love your creativity. May you and your loved ones be safe in this time.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I wish the same for you! We'll all get through this.
DeleteI absolutely love it! I am on #12 of the 12 Days, and have Santa and Mrs. Claus patterns plus the Princess and the Pea to go.. I just bought 2 Altoid tins this week!
ReplyDeleteOh cool! :-) Congratulations on your imminent finish of the Twelve Days series! I hope you enjoy the other patterns. I especially like tiny things in tins. I can't really explain why. haha!
DeleteOh, I love Ebenezer! I need to finish my Santa and Mrs. Claus ornaments so I'll be ready for these! Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ramona! Happy sewing. :-)
DeleteMy daughter loves Halloween decorations so much....I adapted Mrs. Claus, using black and orange and green felt, holding a pumpkin and a broom. She was well received!
ReplyDeleteaw! Clever! I'm so happy she liked it. :-)
DeleteI love Ebenezer and can’t wait to make him!! My father passed last Christmas and had directed Christmas Carol for years at a community theater in my home town. He will be a reminder of memories I have of my father!! Blessings to you! Stay safe during this perilous time!
ReplyDeleteHey, Lori, Oh my goodness. What a special memory of him. I've seen several productions and it's my favorite at Christmas. Thank you! Stay well!
