felt

I stayed up till 2am last night, but i finished! I am going to see my mum tonite, and wanted her to take a pressie for my brother when she sees him this weekend. I am also going to see some friends who have just had their first baby.

So i felted a little pair of blue booties for little Jayden, which will hopefully fit him this winter, with his initials on the bottom to tell which is the left and which is the right.

And a stubbyholder for my bro, Alex..

Here is a pic of them together for size reference.

(I wanted to include the pics in the post, but it’s not working for some reason.)

So! I am about one eighth of the way through my present making. If that. I think i am gonna have a lot of late nights next week.

I ordered some more wool off ebay yesterday, seeing as my normal wool supply place closes down for the holidays (it’s at a uni).

Here’s hoping i can get all of this stuff done! Hey, at least Make Xmas presents! is really helping me out with this goal!

I made a stubby holder for my friend, who had his birthday on saturday.

It was a really simple project, but i was really happy with the way it turned out, the fabric was much more even than i have made in the past. I also made it much thicker than other ones i have made, and modified the size so it was a better fit for standard beer bottles.

I didn’t take a picture, but it might be in one of the pictures i took during the birthday celebrations. I’ll have a look and post it if that’s the case.

I started felting a little while ago. I love it. It’s so much fun, and so beautiful to create things in your hands. But i was so busy with everything else, i haven’t done any in a while. I plan to do some more this week/end. I have some friends who are having a baby, so i am going to make some booties. I made one pair, and they are so cute!
