Wednesday, December 19, 2012. 9am – 11am.
This morning, our craft group gathered in the cozy little craft room inside The Company of Angels store for tea, lively conversation and crafting. This was to be our last crafting get together of 2012.
We made Christmas stockings from recycled wool sweaters. Stockings were approximately10 to 12 inches in length. We were instructed to bring old sweaters the would accommodate that size. It was recommended to us to felt our old wool sweaters by washing in hot water before our Wednesday craft group get together. The stockings were decorated by felting images and applying appliqués from felt and other sweaters. A fee of $5 allowed us access to old felted wool sweaters, hand dyed felt, colorful rovings and other crafting materials.
Thank you Rachel Skelly and Christine Newell for organizing our lovely craft mornings for 2012 and thank you everyone for your company and inspiration this year!
Have a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year 2013. See you in 2013!!!
– love, Jzin

Taking a break from crafting to play in a box!
Oma’s stocking. Looks comfy and good enough to wear! Rumor has it she may add some bling or pearls to it. She took it home to work on it some more.
Renuka made an adorable white bunny with cut up white mohair sweater. 
Renuka’s Christmas stocking, the other side. I like how the two sides of her stocking are different.
You can always needle-felt wool picture onto your stocking or ugly Christmas sweater. Here is a spectacular one!

Gorgeous doll! I plopped her on our cherimoya tree and started taking pictures! It was sturdy, solid to hold and cuddle.
That evening, I shared a photo of Yvonne’s doll on Facebook. The pretty handmade treasure is getting much love globally now! Click on the picture below to add a comment or thumbs up on facebook…
