Stray Stitches

It's officially xmas at Stray Stitches

My latest little dollies with lots of holiday flare are now available in my etsy shop.

Also if anyone is thinking about a special handmade gift for a certain someone or even for yourself I am taking custom orders and commissions for Christmas, but better hurry! Contact me via email.

I have a few more dolls available at my favorite downtown Fullerton store Otto. If you are local it's a great holiday shopping spot, and if you're not I'm pretty sure they ship, so check them out! I have two different knome type dolls and some Christmas ornaments. The dolls will be featured at the next Fullerton Art Walk, Dec.2, it's a "Santa" theme show.

Marty's 50th Birthday

It was a few weeks agao but I'm finally getting to upload some pictures. We all had such a wonderful time enjoying Marty's 50th birthday. He wanted to get all his siblings together and go to Catalina Island.

This is a shot of Avalon Bay.

Part of the crew getting ready to board.

We all stayed at the Wrigley Mansion that has been turned into a very classy Bed and Breakfast. There are just 5 rooms, but it was perfect for all of us. This picture shows all of Marty's siblings and their spouses, and daughter Jessica. We took over the whole place and had a great time. They really take care of you there!

Birthday Boy!

 

The present . . .

For his gift I decided to buy Marty a humidor for his cigars. I bought one that was very plain so I could jazz it up Keely style a little. First I sanded all the finish off the top and went after it with my wood burning tool.

The finished design.

Stain re-applied.

I think it came out pretty good and Marty really liked it.

Adding Stocking Stuffers on Etsy

I just uploaded some cute little stocking stuffer items and Christmas gift ideas to my etsy shop. First are some fun resin rings I made using faces from my art dolls. I will be adding many more as I make them.

I've also added some gift certificates that will be good towards anything in my shop.
