From The NJ Council for the Humanities:

“According to the legend, in 1735 South Jersey matriarch Mary Leeds was giving birth to her 13th child at her home in the Pine Barrens when, out of exhaustion, she cursed the unborn baby. What happened next? The child was born with wings, hooves, a tail, and a thirst for the blood of animals.”

Ah! That photo is so awesome! I wanted to do something similar but couldn’t get the logistics right. This is an example of perfect execution! :star_struck:

@Bunny1kenobi - super cute stitching! 2 sweet besties.

@Fonduie! That cross stitch is utter perfection! So many tiny stitches. And the black adia really makes your stitches pop!

@chameleonhound! The 3D shadowbox is so clever. The sketch against the foggy background with the old photo is so well done, as if it is out of an old newspaper magazine. Caught in an instant.

But the sketch is truly fantastic. His eyes, the scales, the spikes, the teeth! I really like how you captured the angle of his face coming out of the water. Excellent gift!

I received from @Edel today! Thank you so much! I love my entire package! :hearts:

Here is everything together:

I slipped my current wip (a cabled blanket) inside the tote. It’s perfect! So sturdy, practical, and absolutely gorgeous!

She went with my love of pink for the outer bag fabric. I love the text on the bag… The best is yet^i to come. :rofl: And the yeti with his two toofs. Omg. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And you guys… IT HAS POCKETS INSIDE!

She didn’t stop there! She also made me a cute Nessie pouch. It will be perfect for storing my crochet hook, tiny scissors, and other notions I may need for my current wip. I can slip Nessie inside one of the inner tote pockets to keep everything together!

And the card she included is so fun and I love the Kraken image on it!

You definitely spoiled me, Edel! Thank you soooooo much for my awesome package. I wish I’d been able to send more, but shipping costs prohibited me from being able to do so. But I hope you’ll like what I sent!

I grew up in the pine barrens, home of the Jersey devil, there are trails and billboards and all kinds of local lore there!

@Fonduie that is an epic Jersey Devil! He looks suitably menacing. :scream_cat:

@chameleonhound the 3D picture is seriously cool - what an amazing effect!

@edel the bag itself is great, but the text and yeti face put it over the top.

Amazing work, folks! :heart_eyes:

I feel so awful because I received a while ago and then things got crazy and I went out of town, but I truly love my package from @Dfabbric. She made me the sweetest kitchen towel in my kitchens colors and with a custom embroidery!


Just look at this! It has a cute little Yeti Pegleg!!! That’s my kitties name. Ha! I love it so much. Here is a close up of the incredible embroidery.

Look at that smiling little face! I love it so much. Thank you Dfabbric. This is the cutest towel in the world!
