A week before Christmas, this fortune arrived, and I thought little of it, but soon a project revealed itself. After a lot of rumination, I began the process of bringing to life a character I’ve known since my childhood. I adapted a pattern I’ve used previously to create my version of the Crazy Quilt Dragon. Thief of the silver star that adorns the top of Jimmy and Judy’s Christmas tree. Revealed here is a handful of photos, documenting the process from modification of the pattern, resulting in a base which I spent the last week covering in a collection of fabrics that represent my interpretation of the story after this year’s listen. Stay tuned for more characters.

After making 16 breasts and 16 legs confit, I also put up a pint of duck, Demi, and 2 pints of rendered duck fat, and enjoyed an amazing meal, including homegrown potatoes.

For years I’ve collected books and materials, wishing and thinking someday I’d begin the skill of needlepoint. This project has given me the canvas to begin my journey. These are a few of the first stitches I tried. Every one ending a little bit better than it started is always the goal.

In early September I had the pleasure of taking a trip to Ireland. While we were there I was given a lovely gift of woolen scraps from a local garment maker. At the start of the year I began a project to make use of the pieces. Welcome to my cape project.
