My Etsy shop is up and running! It will take me some time to get items posted and more items made but I'm glad to have gotten things started.

Working on handmade tables for the Last Supper, Cenacle work. I cut and sanded these myself. I made ten of them. I'm still experimenting. This batch has a tablecloth hand painted on. 

When I took over as the lead Catechist in the atrium I decided to give some work materials a refresh and others I remade from scratch. Here is an example of the Precious Pearl materials that I repainted. I repainted the merchant as well as the diorama. I replaced the chests of pearls. Here are the before and after photos.

Since the start of the pandemic I have been home with my children doing virtual school. Before I left my atrium I took a lot of photos. Here are a few:

I was heartbroken to have to pause my time in the atrium but since I have been working to create materials for my etsy shop it has helped me to continue to feel connected to the CGS program I love.
