And out of the chaos....

Ok, I am going to admit that all I want to do is work on these hats I love making them and the process is complete relaxation for me. It is almost like reading a book at bedtime. I start working on them and the stress of work and the holidays just goes away. (Several times I have fallen asleep with the loom still in my hands) I have another one started...now to find a donation spot for them.
















One stocking down and 2 more to go. The other two are well on their way and they should go easier now that the "prototype" is out of the way. That is one of the problems of not having a pattern, the mistakes that you make trying to figure it out. I am really happy with this, although I will be hitting the quilt shop soon for more fabric, with another grandchild on the way and the happy prospects of more in the future, I need to make sure that I have lots of this fabric on hand to make more each year. (Would it be too much to ask to have to make two next year?...c'mon girls!)
















These stockings are ones that Jenn gave me and needed something done with the names. They have been the biggest challenge. It was so tight and I really fought my sewing machine with them...I have the scars to prove it, I tried to hold too close and the little thingie that holds the needle in came down on my finger and cut it. The process was sew, rip, sew again, bandage my finger, sew, rip and sew again. Sometimes my kids think I am a MAGICIAN!!!!!

This is the wool that I picked up at Goodwill the other day, all felted and ready for January projects. Hmmmm, what will I make? I love the feel of the wool, all fluffy and soft. Can't wait to "start" something else. I love to start new projects.
