Felt Ornaments


I spent some time last week cleaning out my craft closet, again.  Please tell me that every one has this issue.  It never stays clean.  I collect and deposit and store, then clean and the process starts all over again.  I did find an ornament felt kit this time.   I had worked two of the ornaments out of the 50.  

This kit has been packed in a box since 1991. I pulled it out and decided I was going to work on these again.  I will admit though, I am not very good with the whip stitch.  It probably isn't all that bad, but it bugs me that I can't space each stitch perfectly.  

This led me to thinking about  the sharpie I bought, and why not use my sharpie and crochet rather than whip stitch the felt pieces together.  I am going to give it a try, and maybe, just maybe I will get this 22 year old project done.  

I am steadily working on the vintage lantern purse pattern.  Almost completed, but not quite ready to share. 

I did promise to be back today, and I am just not going to get the lantern purse done, so I thought I would share some of my projects that have sat in a box possibly longer than some of you have been alive.  

Now that scares me, where did the time go?  

See you tomorrow,

Debra

I'm still here!!!  Just in my own little world writing patterns and working on vintage patterns.  I had to stop, because I kept coming up with more and more ideas and then I become a recluse and forget there is a world out there.  

I just realized I have sat in this one spot for 3 days and someone texted for lunch.  Food?  What's that?  I said yes of course, and I am running late.  

 I have not bloged in almost week.  Did you miss me?  I missed you.  

I am so excited to to offer this new pattern.  I didn't even have to think about the name.  Holly Jolly is written all over it.  These just bring a big smile to my face.  

I know, I know the reindeer look like bunnies but I love color, just change to brown for a more traditional reindeer look.  

These are fun because you can change color and embellishments and just about incorporate these for any Season or Holiday.  

I hope you like them just as much as I enjoyed designing them.  

I promise, I will be back tomorrow.

Enjoy,

Debra
