i have so much house cleaning to do, (and snuggling and treat making and eating and playing star wars with playmobile people) but i wanted to stop in and wish you all some christmas cheer! i also have a little bit of craftiness to share:
i made natasha a recycled, fulled sweater stocking. it's not 100% done
(she admonished me for not added "anything purple!" and needs a little
hanger tab thingy still).
she and i collaborated yesterday on a stocking for joe. i am so happy with it!
i used the button hole band from one of the sweaters to make the hanger for his and i am really pleased with how it looks.
i let natasha take a sharpie to joe's stocking after we discovered that the disappearing marker wouldn't show up in the thick felt. i love what she drew. it's a "little jigging dobo" (dobo being what she has always called joe). i asked her for simple lines that i could embroider and girlfriend delivered, with extra points for cuteness. both recipients have seen their stockings and (with the exception of the purple issue) are very pleased.
happy wishes to you, friends! hope you are spending the day with those you love, and with lots of yummy treats too!
