Christmas Stocking This Week! and the Great Pumpkin!

Leyla and I went to the Craft Fair at the Pomona Fairplex yesterday. It was such a blast! We did needle felted make and take pumpkins...

My next needle felting project is a little Charlie Browne. Should be cute! I bought chocolate brown roving, and light blue for his collar. I can't wait to get started! We also learned how to do punch embroidery. We made an apple that I plan to finish and make into a magnet. Really fun stuff. I know eventually all of my denim will have a little something added...
I also bought a simple weaving kit. I think it will be a fun way to use up extra leftovers from projects. More on that later...
