Merry Christmas, Belated Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, and all the other seasonal and religious festivities happening, around this time of year!

I fear it is now too late to finish off this year’s last minute presents, but Don’t Despair!!  Today Is the longest time you will have to start working on next year’s Gifts!!!

As the local weaving and spinning guild finishes its 75^th year anniversary, you have seen many variations on a Moose project bag.  The canvas gave an interesting ground to work on. (i have been using the T38-333 to attach wool to canvas).  it has also been lots of fun to try out different ideas on a single theme. You have seen my various moose and my utter failure to keep them flat. They have made great presents to give and a couple to keep.  It has been fun to see other guild members ideas and embellishments too.

My last variation has left the moose alone (leaving the original black silhouette) this time focusing on what was not there, a back ground. I showed you the start of the bag on the Sunday of the Kanata Gaming (and Felting) Convention. https://feltingandfiberstudio.com/2024/11/15/kanata-board-gaming-and-felting-convention-2024/

I had brought it with me to Doctors appointments, this time, mine and not glens. I also optimistically took it in to work on at a Guild Socials, but kept working on the library.  At one social, it got compliments and was compared to the original.  I got a good shot of it.

I am sure I will finish off with more doctors appointments (Drat), in 2025.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday hopefully with fiber friends food and fun! i also hope that 2025 will be a year of inspiration and adventures in fiber and felting! Now i better let you get back to fun food family and friends!

Post Script:

OH NO its already Christmas and this didn’t post so I will add one more photo to show you the debris field on the bed this morning. See if you recognize my new friend and I am going back to read my new book shortly, then on to making the Mashed potatoes!
