Well, my Wonky Houses Advent Wall Hanging is almost finished! YAH!! It was a lot more work than I thought when I started it. However, I'm pleased with the result. I still have to sew on some embellishments (decorative buttons & beads) but they won't get done until I do it with my three year old granddaughter in Chicago. She will help me sew on the stuff! At least she will indicate where to put the cats, and other things that you see in the buttons photo below. It should be interesting and fun! I'll post a final photo when that's completed. This is not an original design. The pattern comes all the way from British Columbia, Canada! Here it is:

I'm honored when churches ask to use my images and I am happy to share them. However, as it says in Luke 10:7 "the laborer is worthy of their hire" and is repeated in 1 Timothy 5:18, "The worker deserves their pay." For a fee, I am willing to send you a high quality image for use on program and bulletin covers. You can email me at: [email protected] Of course, the high resolution image I send will be for one use or one season and will come without the 'watermark' of my name and copyright.

Can you believe that it is almost the end of the Liturgical Year? (Gasp!) Only three Sundays left until the start of Advent. This is the perfect time of year to review the structure and rhythm of the Liturgical Calendar and the beauty of each individual season. Last year, I made some coloring pages called "What is Advent?" etc. with some of the signs and symbols of each season to start discussions with my students. This year I'm a bit more organized and have them all combined into one coloring book with a calendar on the cover. We'll use this to talk about the Seasons now and throughout the rest of the school year. Click on either picture to download and print the coloring book for yourself. Here are what the pages inside look like: Hope you savor the remaining weeks of this Liturgical Year, and the Year of Mercy!
I suppose I've been aware of Gwen Raverat's wood engravings for most of my life, though without ever knowing how to pronounce her name: the final "t" is silent, so the correct pronunciation is more like Raverar.
