Saint Veronica

I'm excited to share Veronica with you today. While I made her I listened to a song about Veronica. If you've ever prayed the rosary you will know that one of thoughts during the carrying of the cross is Veronica wiping Jesus's face. it left an imprint on the cloth. She's a patron saint of photographers so I also listen to this song snapshot while I made her you know the one that goes "except for the snapshot you know I've got" it's like evidence that her boyfriend was cheating on her. My parents love to send messages with photographs. I call them winky winky brag pictures..

i was interested in being a photographer as a youth- Today photograph my poppets. This is my parents final portrait. They're dressed in black outside of the cage. That's a message. Here is a retake to show Saint Veronica's hands.

St Michael the Archangel Poppet

My guardian angel was once revealed to be St. Michael (in a dream) I attend St Michael church and say the prayer to St Michael regularly. in the dream he looked as depicted.

Pope Leo xiii

Pope Leo xiii had an encounter with the devil and subsequently wrote the prayer of St Michael which is a prayer against the devil.

"Pope Leo XIII reportedly experienced a vision after Mass in 1884 where he witnessed a conversation between God and Satan. Satan boasted that he could destroy the Church if given 75-100 years and greater power over his followers, which God granted. The vision also revealed to the Pope a glimpse of the events of the 20th century, including wars, immorality, and genocide. In response to this vision, Pope Leo XIII wrote the Prayer to Saint Michael, which is widely used by Catholics." ai source

Pocket Hank’in

i've been meaning to do this for weeks. I have some fine linen and I have some silk thread that I got for cheap at the closing Joanne fabrics. I learned to use my old machine in a new way with different stitches, edging stitches.

More Aprons

i upcycled a curtain into two aprons.

Curtain Project

I switched up my curtains for a new look in my house. I made the linen and calico ones.

The Matriarch and Patriarchs

i've been working on the matriarchs and patriarchs for months. I finally completed Jacob.

Apron/curtain Project

I got my mojo back -all of a sudden I had ambition to do things. I've had some material kicking around for over a year, and I made some aprons and curtains. I used my own imagination to design the curtains and they're not as nice as I would've liked, but they work and the apron-I found an old apron I bought years ago and copy the style from it.

Tunic knitting project

I'm working on an eco duo project- that is the name of the wool. it has not been died. It is all natural colors. The wool is 30 % merino and 70% alpaca and is buttery soft.

Painting of Castle Huntly

I found out in 2023 that I am actually not of the Brandlin bloodline. I am of the Pugh bloodline. Then I found out that a few generations back there aren't many Pughs.(my newly found cousin told me).. The bloodline is Patterson. Which means Patrick's son in Scottish. It is a Scottish name and I have 3% Scott blood in me. I looked up the Pattersons and I found there is a lot in history about them and one Patterson acquired castle Huntley in 1776 for his wife who was a Grey because the origin of the castle was Grey. I looked online and found this castle that is now a Scottish prison that was once owned by a Patterson in 1776.

Hooded Scarf

Years ago a mysterious package came in the mail, a black hooded scarf. That was in the nineties. This year i had a skein of yarn and I

started a black hooded scarf. I had to go get a second skein at Fiber arts in the Glen. I had just enough to finish it! The pattern is on ravelry- "Sophie Hooded scarf".

Fingerless gloves and the tubular cast off

This weekend i mastered the kitchner stitch used with the tubular cast off- first I botched the finger portion but then i conquored the thumb- thanks to Suzanne Bryan of youtube and ravelry.

i also did some mending of moth eaten fingerless gloves.

Troll Poppet

This little beauty is focused on beauty.....what does it mean to be a female troll.
