Wool.....

ok... so the shorts didn't go down too well yesterday... but if we dont' knit or crochet we can sew with wool..... I do like to upcycle and have a nice stock of hand made felt from blankets and clothing.....

It's very easy... just a very hot soapy wash with something else in it to rough and tumble...

not my picture but the watermark came on when I exported

Cooooeeeeyyy.....

Happy New Year lovely FHFS friends..... I am so looking forward to this years swaps... we had such fun last year... sad to say goodbye to some of the ladies but wonderful to make new friends... 

Thanks Peg and Shez for arranging it all... I can imagine it is quite a challenge mixing around etc....

Anyways, I loved the ideas that were put to us about the hexies....and I thought I might start off a wool idea..... but of course change the colour way to suit your partner....
