It's a Craftin' Christmas!
Ok, I think I'm becoming addicted to crafting.
I'm not seeking help, mind you; it's lots of fun, and an easy way to while away the time when watching a movie on tv or talking with friends and family.
It started with knitting, then went to sewing and crocheting (bombed out of crocheting for the nonce, fyi), and now I'm sewing felt stuffed ornaments and fabric stuffies (i.e. stuffed toys).
So far, I've made 6 completely adorkable felt owl ornaments for my friend Miss Kitty, have almost completed a custom baker's apron a la Chronic Masterbakers, and made not one but two narwhal stuffies for FormerRoomie's Christmas presents. Ok, furious_g commandeered one of the narwhals for himself. Gave it a name and everything. But I digress.
Last night I was using those tiny origami paper squares to make intricate multicolourd paper snowflakes, and now I'm deep into making felt ornaments for the tree and Christmas packages. I have a couple of Christmas trees, some snowmen, little blue hearts on a gold ribbon, larger white hanging stuffed hearts with an inner red core for my tree, and I plan on making stuffed felt birds, mittens, and stockings this week too.
Craaazy!
