Little Girly Slippers

I have no idea what size these would be. They are about as little as I can go. At least in this style. Baby booties would probably need a strap. Since I do not know kids sizes, I would guess a 3 or 4 year old. I broke two needles while making these, so I will have to postpone anymore slippers till I purchase some more. That won't be long, I assure you. :)

I updated my WSOAPP Sales blog. No dolls, unfortunately, but I did list a few knitted/felted items that I did not list on my ETSY. You can also custom order a pair of slippers.

The amount of stuff I have, I could open a little boutique...unfortunately, that is not good as my stuff are not selling....lol I have a good attitude about it. At least I love making things.

Large Funky Tote Bag

I have been a horrible slacker in the doll making department. So, I have listed one of my recent creations on my WSOAPP Sales blog. I am in the process of creating a black version of this large tote bag, if you are interested, just email or send a comment. It cost me almost $100 just for the material on this bag, so the price listed is not even near to what it should be worth, but a starving artist has got to live!

Warm weather and a cold

The weather here has been incredible, but now I have a cold. Yep, it sucks. Slept a lot yesterday, but I am hoping to get some thing accomplished, today. I did manage to finish another pair of slippers.

If only I could get motivated to make a doll or work on my hook rug. It's days like this, I wish I had a pool. I'd probably hang out there all day...heehee.

Felted Slippers

NEW ON ETSY!

These were so much fun to make. I am taking a break, though.
I have been sick with a head cold.

Funny how I get this when it is 72 degrees! Spring Fever, literally!

Ballerina Slippers

I finished another pair of slippers this morning. These are a woman's small. Size 7 to 7.5 . I am having a lot of fun making these, so you will probably see a couple more by the end of the week...heehee. These would be cute as little baby booties, too. So, with any left over yarn, I will try to whip out some of those, as well.

I know I need to be making a doll, but these are way too much fun!

Mary Jane Slippers

These are darling! I wanted to start knitting items that can be worn through spring. These cute little felted slippers are a child's size Medium. I do not have children, so I have no idea what age that would be. 8 maybe? The foot measurement would be 7.5 inches. I am working on a ladies size small right now...without the strap. All those yarns, I shared last week are all for these cute little slippers. I will be listing them on ETSY for $35.00


I will consider doing custom orders in any color and any size. The flowers are needle felted, so I can create any design you like. Polka dots, flowers, and even a name.

The weather here in Denver is a warm 70 degrees and sunny. I hear it is supposed to be like this ALL week! Can you believe it? I can :) That is why I LOVE Colorado. It is probably snowing an hour and half a way. Seems like California, to me!!

~Felted Kitty Boo Box~

Here is my final creation for our WSOAPP shop update for tomorrow. Actually, the shop opens on Sunday, but we were suppose to have it posted tomorrow. WSOAPP SHOP I am posting mine early. I have a funeral tomorrow, so I doubt I will be doing much blogging.

It is a sad story. A young lady Nancy Poysti (only 43) that lives just a few blocks from me, (whom was a good friend of another friend of mine) past away suddenly, on Saturday. The coronor thinks she died of Toxic Shock Syndrome. I am confused and angry because she was going thru a divorce and was all alone. I keep thinking if she had someone there with her they may have been able to take her to the hospital. UGGGH. I have not cried yet, but I doubt I will go without tomorrow. I got the pleasure of going out with her a couple times..boy she loved to dance. I will always remember her firecracker spirit. It truly makes me count ALL my blessings.

I would like to take a moment to thank god for everything in my life and loving me enough to save me from eternal damnation! AMEN.

~Many Projects~

Here is a banner I received in the mail, today. Tonya from Back Porch Pickins made it. It looks nice on my mantle.

I have two things I am working on, plus I am hoping when I get finished with this blog, I will start on a snowman make-do.

I am getting a bit frustrated at my hooked rug. The wool is pretty flimsy and I sometimes get the hook caught and it rips. HUUUH? It cannot be that hard. Plus, my hand is all torn up from it and that does not help either.I can only work on it for an hour at a time, if that. Maybe when my hand heals it won't be as bothersome. I cannot see hook rugging 8 hours a day...ugggh. Although, maybe once I get the hang of it, it will be easier.

I also started the red purse. I am using smaller needles and I made the circumference not as wide, so hopefully it will be just as I want it when it is felted. Lots of projects, huh? Well, I still have not finished a scarf I was making for a gift...Time, where have you gone?

I am going to start on a doll, right now. Been putting that off for too long. Have a lovely day!

~Not what I expected~

Well, I felted the purse I was working on. I am NOT thrilled about how it turned out. I know where I went wrong, so at least I got the experimental one out of the way before I used my leather straps.

During felting it lost most of its size in the length not the width...which is not what I was hoping for. So, I will have to re-design the others taller and skinnier to get the look I want.

I made a matching scarf, but the purse lost a lot of the silver when felting, so they are not exactly alike. Well, all I can say is my sister may be getting a hand made purse and scarf for Christmas, again~ LMAO.

~Pretty Purses~

I felted a couple of knitted and crocheted items, this morning. I had started this "snowball" purse before I started creating dolls and well just had it sitting unfinished for months. Since I have two nights of knitting with the girls, this week. I thought i would get it finished for show and tell.

This purse is of my own design. I am going to offer the pattern for sale at some point, if you are interested. I am supposed to be working on my santa doll, today. Which I need to get rolling on. I have errands to run, this afternoon, as well. So, not much time in my day and I have jury duty tomorrow...yuck!

Not much else in my world. We decided to have a pot luck at our house for Thanksgiving (inviting our church members) Our church is tiny, maybe about 20 people..if that! Not all will come since they have family here, but it should be a fun day.

Time is flying by! This dark at 5pm is weird and I never get used to it! I feel like I should be in my PJ's by 7pm...which I usually am. LMAO!

~Crochet Felting~

I decided to make that hat (that I somehow screwed up) into a bowl for some of my knitting supplies and I crocheted a matching needle holder. The pattern on the yarn came out really neat. I really love felting. It is so cool to watch how the yarn felts and shaping it into how you like. I have definitely got the bug again, to start felting. I may have to create another purse. I have dreams of writing/designing a felting book. Don't worry, I won't stop making dolls. I love that way too much to give up!

Besides this project, I treated myself to a movie on TV, but watched it in the theatre room. I never do that and I rather enjoyed it. I hope your weekend is going well. Later....

~Bobble fun~

I taught myself two new crochet stitches, yesterday. The half double and the bobble. The bobble is a blast. I started designing a scarf using this method..I am excited. This book is the easiest, if you know how to do your basic stitches and want to learn more. I have been knitting for years and only crocheting for days and I think I know more about crocheting than knitting now...I am gonna have to buy the Visual Knitting book, now.

Unfortunately, I won't be creating a doll, today. I have a lot of errands to run and some crocheting to work on...heehee. Hopefully, by Friday I will have something. Maybe Santa!
