We went to my parents house today. I knew Dad had my finished product, but I sure didn't ASK for it......it drove him nuts!!!!! He said I am too patient...he was going to go get it!!!
Oh my! It turned out so much more beautiful than I thought it would/could!
He has been trying to come up with a way to do Cross Stitch pens for several years. He has finally found a way to do it & I think he has a keeper!!!!!
I am attaching three pictures. One is of my pen alone, one of my mom's alone & one of the two together.
Dad will be selling these at craft shows & also by special order for those who are interested. He said they will sell for $35.00 and then 4.95 for priority shipping. He will allow the person to stitch their own insert or he will have my mom stitch it for him.
We had a great day today, even thou none of us was totally in the Christmas mood! It just doesn't seem like Christmas with a family member missing....

Too cool!!!! I never would have guessed. Great idea "dad"!!
What a unique idea, Shari. Your Dad is quite the inventor!
Hope you had a nice Christmas. I know how you feel when "everyone" isn't together.
You'll hopefully have that great day to look forward to in a few weeks :)

Those are awesome! Great job, Dad!!
wow! Your father did a great job!! I too never expected it as a pen.
Shari - the pens are absolutely stunning! Using something that looks like these could revive the art of handwriting letters again! Please tell your Dad he did a wonderful job.
Shari, these are phenomenal......! I may just have to order one!
Those are pretty. Your dad was very creative to come up with them.
Ah, the mystery is solved! I think your dad must be one of those creative types who can make just about anything--tell him he did a great job!
These are beautiful! Frank and Matthew both turn pens...wonder if they could figure it out?
Those are beautiful. Way to go Dad.
really neat.
Oh, I love them! Those are very cool.
Wow, I love the pens Shari!! Your dad has done a great job!
Shari,
Those are so cool! I felt the same about my Christmas with my Mom gone too.
Hope next year will be better!
