What's New

O Christmas Tree!

I cannot believe it is only a few days before Christmas. Where has the time seriously gone? Since I've been spending so much time at home with my daughter, she has been helping me a lot in the studio. This year we designed a Christmas pen wrap together. She was thrilled to help me out and I think the end result is the cutest. 
This year has been unlike any for most of us. It has been slow and fast all at the same time. We have all spent a lot more time at home. We have all refrained from traveling and maybe some of us started working from home. In our house, both my husband and me have worked 50% at home and 50% in our respected labs. And our daughter started 4K virtually this year. So it's been a year to say the least.

We have been spending a lot of time together, which has been amazing. We have gotten to watch our little girl accomplish so many things, like riding her bike, to reading, to learning some math. It really has been a bright light in a very tough year.

My daughter has also been spending a lot of her time with me in my studio. She now has her own collection of beads, her own collection of buttons, and a collection of perler beads to use as directed but she also uses them to practice her bead stitches.

It's been frustrating at times because she loves to go through things, but it's also been great watching her learn how to do beadwork and help me with pattern design and Photoshop. She's really shaping up to be quite the little artist (her plans for when she grows up is to become the master of everything. Nobody ever can say she doesn't have big goals).

So this year we decided to work on a little pattern together. She helped me decide on the colors and how it should look. She then was my supervisor while I was beading it. She let me know what she thought of it and if I should make any changes (she definitely let me know that I had to make changes). 
We came up with this little holiday tree pen wrap pattern. I had a great time making it with her and she was so proud of the finished product.

The first attempt the bobbles were all red and she let me know it looked like an apple tree and that I needed more colors. She said I could use some red, but not all red ? She does not hold back with her opinions.

She also let me know that she liked the darker green trees because it looked more like a Christmas tree, so after trying out a few different greens we found one she felt was best.

I gifted this pattern to all of my VIPs this past week as a thank you and happy holidays kinda thing. But I've decided that I'm going to gift it free to anyone that signs up for my newsletter from now until Christmas. So if you would like this cute little pattern, sign up to become a VIP today. You'll not only get this cute pattern, but you'll also get a 25% off coupon that you can use in my Etsy shop.

Isn’t it a precious time when children open up and want to learn “everything” today!! It makes me smile to hear of your little one being so inquisitive about everything and wanting to learn.
You are evidently doing something right dear lady. I’ve so enjoyed your patterns and will continue to do so I’m sure in the future.

Thank you so much Kristen for your kind words. It really makes me so happy to see how much she wants to be in the studio. She is just so inquisitive about everything. I know she's gonna be an artist all her life! Happy Holidays!

    Just a girl that loves to bead, take photos, and cuddle with her new baby and her pug.
