Felt Christmas Stocking Tutorial for Crafttuts+

Remember those pretty supplies I blogged about last month?

Well, this is what I was making with them: a colourful felt Christmas stocking!

I designed the stocking for a new crafty website - Crafttuts+.

As they put it, "Crafttuts+ is focused on teaching everything crafty — fundamental craft skills, decorations, ceramics, crochet, jewellery-making, embroidery, candles, paper-craft, knitting, woodwork, printmaking, as well as how to market, sell, and promote your craft work."

I had lots of fun covering this stocking with pretty ribbons, trims, polka-dots and pompoms in those bright candy colours... mmm.... pompoms...

365 / 154 - Tea, Glorious Tea

I do like a nice cup of tea. I drank a lot of tea yesterday, and finished the batches of teacup brooches. Here they are, all finished, in a very satisfying heap:
The red teacups will be in the shop this evening, as long as I remember to list one! I was supposed to yesterday but got distracted listening to the radio instead. Oh well.

Today being Sunday, there's not much going on and I am planning an afternoon working on new patterns and getting a few odds and ends sorted out, so hopefully some new things to show off tomorrow if all goes to plan! Enjoy the rest of your weekend...
