Progress

got up at 4 AM

got out the Clover Needlefelting kit

used red felt for Joey's name & the year 2006

used cocoa felt for the arms

i SHOULD have bought the small brush

the large one doesn't fit into the stocking far enuff

cut the sponge from

the other kit

NOTE TO SELF

next time

use sharper scissors to cut

use a stencil to make letters and numbers

after i finished Joey's

i did Miles

then i did Paige's

still haven't gotten the hat knit

so i will have to knit it while i am gone

BUMMER

won't get to mail it on time

FINALLY

went to do Gracie's

since Brayden & Jameson have lots of letters

in their names

the felt won't work

Gracie's needs to match

so i dug out the needle PUNCH kit by clover

the stocking is too dense to use it on

so

PLAN "D"

found some Lopi Bulky to use for the names

also will use it for the arms

still need to knit the hat & finish the

scarf for Gracie

so,

hers won't be finished till probably later today or sat

what would be nice is that parents use LESS letters in a child's name

ALL in ALL

not bad for the FIRST attempt at needlefelting

unfortunatley

i can NOT get the snowchildren to stay on IF i needlefelt

they HAVE to be sewn on

i LIKE Needelfelting

too bad i can't take it with me

:(

it is NOW 8:40 am

i gotta PACK

fix 2 nails

get all the rest of the stocking stuff gathered

up so i can take it with me & finish them

take something to knit IN CASE i finish them

find food to pack

go to the bank

get $$ & put gas in the car

did i think of that when it was $2.02

NO ..

so i will pay $2.29

gotta MAIL Joey's stock

OH YEAH

still can't post pix from the cell

so you will have to wait to see how the rest

of the stocks turned out

don't know IF i can post text or not

some come thru

some don't
