All Mr Marley, all the time, that's what I'm up to. And trying not to eat stuff. I'm on WW and I've lost 11 lbs, but that 12th pound keeps leaving and coming back. Rude. That's a shot of my messy desk featuring headless Marleys in various stages as I try to work out the final kinks in the construction for you. The handmade padlock is giving me some trouble but I think I'm close to getting it licked. (I wanted to give you some metallic felt/card stock options in case you would prefer not to purchase metal charms besides the jingle bells, which are standing in for cash boxes.)
I'm in close contact with the lovely and affable Crystal as I work out the details so that Benzie Design can offer you some options in their Ebenezer kits too. The headless samples you see above are all made from my two curated Benzie Ebenezer color palettes. Those new color guides will hit my blog after the Mr Marley pattern releases.
I hope you guys are hanging in there during this weird year. Lots of my customers are telling me they are seizing on this time to knock out a bunch of Christmas sewing. I find hand sewing to be therapeutic also. #bonus
Back to work for me!
WW for the win! Seriously just add in 1/2 - 1 mile extra walk 3 or 4 times a week and #12 will disappear for good!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the scale, it's gone again. I'll see if it reappears tomorrow. ha!
DeleteI just found you and I'm making Mrs. Claus, my question is when you put the seed beads and sequins on are you using regular thread and not the embroidery floss to put them on?
ReplyDeleteHey, Ginger! In the instructions it says to use doubled silver or gold thread, or you can also use sewing thread that matches the beads or felt.
DeleteThank you so much. I didn't see it anywhere in your instructions, but saw the pretty colors in your picture and wondered 😀
DeleteSure thing! You can find those floss/thread specs at the top of each step in bolded type.
