This is a scissors fob I designed and "antiqued." It was stitched on 28 count (over two threads) and measures about 3--1/2" x 2--1/2". It's a great way to personalize that favorite pair of craft scissors...

RelativelySpeaking #1
This is the first in my series of samplers to honor my matriarchal ancestors. Eliza is my father's great-grandmother on his dad's side. Unfortunately, I do not know Eliza's maiden name. I do know she married William who was from Scotland, and begat Jennie and James. Jennie grew to marry Henry and they begat Samuel, my grandfather. Samuel and Doris begat my father, Samuel Jr.
I would like to think that Eliza would be happy to grace the wall of her great-great-granddaughter's home.

The Eliza was stitched on "dirty laguna" over two threads and is 8x10 when finished. All of my patterns will fit into standard frames. This makes each product considerably more cost-effective.

The Savannah
This is the Savannah, a stroller/wheelchair caddy. It was designed in honor of its recipient, my dear three year old friend named Savannah. This is an Otto-Bach chair. The caddy must be snapped off when the chair is folded for transport. I have designed a "needle" to easily reinsert the straps lest they come out. This is nice and roomy, a great improvement over the four inch deep "basket" that comes standard with each wheelchair.

Water, wallet, cellphone, blanket, and trinkets can easily tuck into their proper place.
