Phoff! Where did the week go?!
I've pulled my fabric stash apart
and gathered together some ingredients
to make some Christmas stockings.
and gathered together some ingredients
to make some Christmas stockings.
My inspiration came from this Christmas Things pattern,
picked up at the Op Shop the other day.
My challenge will be making at least one by Christmas Eve
Loving hessian at the moment.
It brings memories of holidays in the Greek Islands flooding back.
It's the espadrille connection - the smell and texture.
Scary how my mind works, I know.
I rescued this piece off the top of a friends' skip,
due to travel to the dump the next day.
I was as happy as Larry.
This was used on a special project that
someone asked me to work with them.
All to be revealed in the New Year.
Having served its purpose in one piece,
it is now destined for other things,
which include the string crochet flowers.
I'm looking forward to this one.
This project is a commission I will be parting with,
but I will be making more for me if it turns out how I envisage
Tune in here for some clever clogs.
