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.

handsewn gifts

(finished legwarmers)

(leftovers from three wool hempjes made for a niece and two nephews)

I was also trying to finish a ribbed hat before the knitting went awol at a family reunion. And i'm still contemplating a wool table runner in tonal reds. (Yes, i do know Christmas has past.)

Hand sewing

Eily has been making pictures with fabric from my scrap pile, doing piecework to plan out projects (like a scarf), and collecting fabric for his own scrap bin.

In honour of this recent delve into textiles, i introduced him to hand sewing today. He's making a star ornament which we'll stuff and gift to the grandparents.
