Wool Applique

One thing leads to another around here. All I can say is . . there’s not much self-control. I don’t even think that’s a bad thing so long as I’m not doing bad things, right? Or, is that justifying bad behavior? 🙂

Seriously, we’ve talked about this on here before. I’m not one who is concerned about what I leave behind. If Chad feels inclined to build a big bonfire and burn everything in this house, I won’t be around to see it. If he takes it all to Goodwill, I won’t be around to see it. I’m not so much attached to the “stuff” as I am the experience of making the stuff and by the time Chad is going through everything, I will have experienced all the earthly pleasure and fun I’m ever going to experience on this side.

It started out this morning with me wanting to make some needle books .. a bit larger than some because when I separate strands of floss, it’s kind of a pain to wrap the remaining strands around the skein or the bobbin so I want to have the spot where I can place those extra strands because I’ll be using them on that same project. I can keep the needles with the tread already on them there too so I started out looking for felted wool for making the needle books.

I did find the felted wool and I did order it.

I also found and ordered this kit and this kit for wool applique. I doubt I get either done for Memorial Day but maybe for Independence Day.

Such fun awaits! 🙂
