Good afternoon everyone. I just finished painting up the measuring tools from Star Wars: Shatterpoint game. I've seen some real works of art on these things but I decided in the end to go with a monochromatic approach. Pretty pleased with the results!

My wife Sandy and I are celebrating the 10th year anniversary of our first date. I got a text from her at 8:16 in the evening saying “I’m here.” 10 years later, I feel very privileged, blessed, and grateful to have Sandy as my wonderful, supportive, and loving partner.
Sandy, you truly are my One!

Myrtle The Moose is done! I’m really pleased with the entire experience of my first Felting project. I’m definitely going to be doing more with this. I learned a lot and I’m looking forward to applying it to my next project 😀👍

So, I'm trying another new thing. I have always been fascinated by felting. My positive experience with embroidery has caused me to want to look in to felting so I bought a kit :)
So far I am very happy with the results!
Sandy and I are calling this fellow "Myrtle The Moose"... 😊

It’s done! I am finished with my second ever embroidery project. I’m really pleased with how it came out, but the French knots took forever! Also, I want to give a special thank you to my lovely wife Sandy for the really nice embroidery kit that she made for me… it’s perfect!

So I’m off on my second embroidery project. This one is very different and I’ve had the opportunity to learn more stitches.
This time around I’m really focusing on precision and accuracy with my stitching. I’m really pleased with the results so far 😊👍

Well… it’s done 😊. My first embroidery project is finished. I had to learn a new stitch (stem stitch) for the last bit.
Now, on to my next project and new stitches to learn 😊👍🧶
