(this is an unusually short post for me, so I can let you get in a quick bit of felting between today’s Holiday activities!)
As you are getting ready for the festive turkey experience or maybe are now recovering from it, I want to wish you Seasonal Wishes for Happy Fiber Creations!!! Belated Solstice, and belated Happy Hanukah, Mary Christmas and all the other seasonal celebrations that occur around this time of year! I am not sure how we got to the 25th of December so quickly?
The Mers’ send their Fishy best wishes to you! (The Mer’s Love a good excuse for a photo shoot!)
1.1-1.6) Mers Run Amuck at the photo shoot!
Unfortunately, I may have left them alone in their project bag for too long. They seem to have gotten distracted and have wandered off, back to their project bag.
Glenn’s Moose bag is finished, except for his yarn colour choice.
I think his moose is looking forward to carrying his horrible train games for him to the next gaming day! (I am sceptical about his train games; half the trains rust out halfway through the game and become useless!!! and Worse!!!, there is lots of MATH!! – how can that be fun? I think I will stick to stabbing and impaling.)
I may be moving from my Moose theme of 2023 and possibly a more Bird theme for early 2024. (I was persuaded to teach a chickadee workshop in January and am looking at a 2-D chickadee picture I want to try too. I have not forgotten about the Mers. I have more work to finish them off too! Today I sorted through some of Mrs. Mer’s Hair options. I was hoping to have a consultation with her and finalize a hairstyle and colour but my attempt at picking up a few groceries earlier in the week put me out of commission for a couple of days. (Ok, I get the hint, I will have to refrain from buying 2 large bottles of tonic water as well as a small amount of grocers in one trip. I will try to do better next year.)
Have you watched your family rend all the wrapping paper into tiny bits? I hope that all were delighted by everything beneath the paper. I hope now you finally have a moment of peace and quiet, to grab a cup of tea or something stronger, and consider your next project, either the last for this year or plans for the first of the next.
I hope you have many good memories of 2023 and that you will have even better ones coming in 2024.
