Sunday Evening Hearts - December 1, 2019
On Sunday evenings, Martin Hansen hosts a scripture study hour at his home. I've stopped going because I wasn't getting out of it what I'd hoped. He asked if we (me and hubs) were coming tonight because he'd brought us back a Diana of Ephesus from his trip abroad a couple weeks ago.
We went and were pleasantly surprised to find we were the only ones there besides his family. We studied for the hour, but afterwards talked. It was a wonderful conversation about extended family and the problems we face with them at times. The connection I felt with them was so satisfying. Martin commented at the end that our conversation was probably the real reason we'd gotten together that evening. I agree.

I got a little time to work on paintings tonight- I figured out how to choose colors better from pictures and how to document them on 3x5 cards. I'll put them into a recipe file and use them for references in the future.
I fit in two paintings tonight. Very satisfying! Linework will happen tomorrow.

It was a blessing in my family's and my life for several years as it kept us afloat financially during some pretty lean years. At the end of 2016, I stopped selling on Etsy for several reasons, but mostly because selling things gave me HUGE anxiety. So, I closed up that part of my life & thought everyone was finding other cool ways to fold books online & wouldn't care about my little booklet. I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.) In the spirit of paying it forward to the world, I'm making the tutorial FREELY available here on my blog . Scroll below to see the tutorial in its entirety, all for free. Eventually I'l
How to Fold Wedding Hearts
This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
