Thank You, Lord

Thank You, Lord is the new digital sticker set now available at Abbey and Lincoln.

It was certainly fun working on them. The design ideas usually came when I was working on something else or during my faith hour. I would pause what I was doing, open Canva and get to designing. I would then use that sticker in my journal. Very nice to use something I’ve created. It took me a while to do that. It’s only been a few years since I started wearing the hats I knit. Don’t know why there was that disconnect between my cold head and the myriad of hats I have stored away.  Might be the business person in me thinking they were better sold.

 

I also started using  these. Let me tell you; these things are great! I had no idea how well those scrubbies worked. They are now a staple in my very own kitchen and I have them in my studio (of course I do) but I mean as a tool! I am in love with this particular one. I used it to clean my Corningware bake dish after I made an egg, sausage and veggie bake. Took just a little over a minute to make that thing look good! 

I don’t know what it says that I get excited about cleaning a dish. I don’t think even my mother ever had that feeling.

There are orders to be filled. I just finished a pair of fingerless mitts. There are knitted sleeves, a snake and a stocking cap waiting to be created and dispatched. So I am on my way!

I do thank the Lord for all he’s done for me and continues to do. May the Lord bless you and keep you as well.

 

On Hooks and Needles: Straight Outta

 Do you see my new baby? So the thing that’s on hooks and needles is neither a hook or a needle, the new thing is and iPad. I never thought I would sail that ship. I wasn’t an Apple fan.

But here we are.

I am not ashamed to say I love my iPad. I even splurged and got the expensive Apple Pencil. (The replacement tips I got off Amazon; I ain’t full on cray cray.)  It’s quick and fun and almost easy to navigate.

The iPad is being used to do some designing for my shop Abbey and Lincoln. Digital ideas are flowing and my iPad is catching a few of them.

As you can see on the screen, I’ve designed a SVG that’s straight outta the yarn store. It can go on bags, tee shirts, mugs. Make a poster any size and print it. Currently, there are 39 items on my design board- only 5 have been finished and are in the shops.This SVG is one of them.  You can pick it up or load it down, along with the commercial use agreement and start making items you can sell in your shop or online or to make for private use and gifts.
