Late Christmas..



Well, I made the slippers from fiber trends, for my Dad, but I hadn't felted them yet, because I thought He would really like to see them. But when I found out that I wasn't going to make it to West Virginia, I decided to go ahead and felt them anyway. I took before and after shots. The paper thing is a dollar bill for reference in size. I used Lamb's Pride Worsted Heathers in a forest green shade. They are hard and yet soft at the same time, strange.

Visiting.........


I was supposed to go to West Virginia for the holidays, unfortunately I got out on the road and I had some problems with my car. I have an old car, but reliable. It has not yet broken down while I have been driving it, I was looking forward to gifting some presents. I knit the keyhole scarf from Chicknits, and for anyone that wants to know, it was wonderful and easy. It only took two days in my spare time. I used lionbrand thick and quick chenille. Not the cotton stuff, it gives me the heebie geebies. Please excuse the fallness outside. It is 65 degrees here today, that is unusual. I don't think we are going to get any snow......I miss white winters.

hello all...

I am sorry I have not got any pictures to post, but I have been working on the felted slippers from Fiber Trends as a gift for my Dad. I cannot believe how huge they are. They go from fingertip past the elbow before they are felted. I have to wait to felt them because my washing machine has ne warm water hookup. Figures, doesn't it?
As for my personal life, I have been talking to a guy on the phone that was a wrong number, but I like that he tells the truth about almost anything. There are some things that I think any man will lie about. But that is another subject all together. I went and got pictures taken with my kids for Christmas on Friday. I still need to find an outfit for my son to wear when he gets his picture taken in the mall with Santa. They have had Santa in the mall here for every year I know since I was a little girl. I love that my daughter and son get to continue in what I consider a tradition. Cheesy I know, but Christmas wasn't always good at home if you know what I mean.
Oh well, I will keep you posted on the slippers, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to take some decent pictures of them and post before I felt them.
