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
