Is it too much to ask?

Sometimes it gets to me, how so many people can take what I willingly share, and never say thank you, or even have the courtesy of coming to my blog to get their 'freebie.'

I just learned there are a zillion sites out there with my freely shared files on them, and even sites with direct links to the pdf's on my blog. They don't even have to spend the bandwidth, they just use mine. This makes me so sad.

Sometimes I think I should just throw in the towel, give up on making stuff to share, delete the blog and all of the things I've done. But I think of those of you who do come by and say hi, and I actually get choked up, because more and more it seems like nobody wants to take the time to bother with it.

So thank you to those of you who appreciate the connection, you know who you are. Big hugs.

Mollie Makes Merry... me!

Hey, that's me! In the Christmas issue of Mollie Makes! Remember the mini-photoshoot back in September? Well this is the result! My studio has a happy little feature on their creative spaces page. I'm pretty geeked about it, since that is typically my favorite page in the magazine. I usually flip to the back to see it first, then savor the rest of it as a kind of dessert.

I am notoriously shy about having my photo taken, this is a quick, primp-free shot taken by Katy when she was in town for a wedding. I actually kind of like it. I think...

Anyway, since the article mentions my Festive Felt Trees, I thought it would be helpful to include them here, for the benefit of anyone visiting in hopes of finding the pattern and tutorial...

Click -->here to download the pdf for page one of the Festive Felt Tree pattern, and -->here for page two. Please let me know if you run into any problems. You'll need Adobe Reader to view and print this. If you don't have that on your computer, you can downoad it for free -->here. Oh, and the original tutorial with lots of helpful photos is -->here!

As soon as I finish this post, I'll be working like mad setting up my Christmas decorations! We got a head start before Thanksgiving... the main tree is up and (mostly) deorated, and the snowmen are back on the mantel. Let the twinkling begin!

Cheers,

Jenny

Printable Christmas paper doll

Hello dear bloggie friends! The last few weeks have gone by in a blur, because I've been working like crazy to finish my new app, Bunnyfur's Christmas. When it's done, it will be submitted to Apple, then I have to wait another week or so for them to approve. My poor little eyeballs are soooo tired from staring at my monitor, and my brain is swirling with bright candy colors. I am itching to finish and move on to some serious Christmas crafting, but I took a little time out to whip up this fun little freebie! It's a Bunnyfur Christmas paper doll for you to print and play with! To get the pdf, just leave a comment on this post and I'll email it to you. Then all you need to do is open it with Adobe Reader, print, cut and play... easy!

Available in my Etsy shop, click *here*

I thought this would be a nice way to promote the book as well, so please pardon my slightly sales-pitchy blathering. But honestly, I can't wait to share the whole app with you, I went a bit kookoo nutso on it. Along with six dress up pages, there are seven activity pages! I've had way more than the allowable limit of fun, believe me, and I am so proud of the work I've done on it. I can't get over the amazing things you can create for iPad. It's a whole new... thing. I can't even come up with a word to describe it! Here are some sneaky peeks:

Anyway, enough with the blathering... I hope you enjoy your paper doll, and I would be so happy if you'd check out my app when it is ready!

Cheers,

Jenny

Update: The app was available for a while, but the company that I produced it through went out of business. Grrr. So I am hopeful about some new software that is coming out soon, so I can reissue the book sometime next year! Wish me luck!

Bring on the holidays!

Let's get the Christmas spirit going... who's with me?

Cheers,

Jenny
