MAKE goals 2013

Instead of letting them just roam around in my head, i ought to make a list:
-a wet felted boot tray
-a henhouse out of the old shed at the edge of our property (aka the squirrel's resident)
-needle-felted nativity set
-crochet storage bins to hang above Eily's craft table

I'll probably have more up my sleeve, by say, mid-January.

This list is not to be confused with my shop list which is already as long as my arm.

Backyard Workshop

Yesterday evening, guild members came over to try wet felting. It was 30 degrees, the perfect night for it.

still soapy, but a nice and tight little pair of warm slippers

a felting day

...which turned into more of a felting sejour. i used this pattern, but i am ready to tweak it the next time since the extra allowance for shrinkage was much to generous (or perhaps my feet size is much too generous) and i ended up with both feet too large and one foot even larger. the seams as well must be improved next time around. however, after much felting, then more felting, then a bit more, the slippers are warm and wearable. and adorned with one of jennifer's christmas gifts: a elk bone button.
