~ Wool'n Fun ~

Hello Friends & Folk ~

and a Happy Sunday to you all!

just sharing with you all

a little project I'm working on today...

well one of them, anyway

;)

I hooked this small mat yesterday, 

while friends visited our little Needlework Shop

 for our regular Crafty Saturday ~

but I didn't want to finish it into just a plain mat.

so I decided to mount it onto a fabric-covered piece of heavy cardboard....

then I thought it needed something more above the mat...

yes! a wool sunflower!

 

... then I thought it would be a swell Needlework Pocket!

{I need to stop thinking so much. ha!}

 I like to cut my wool with my pinking shears, 

that way is makes it easier for me to space my blanket stitching... 

although nothing I ever do is perfect, 

but ~ it pleases me nonetheless.

I'm using coordinating Valdani pearl cottons in size #8  

and I think I'll add more leaves on either side of the sunflower...

{see what I mean about the thinking-thing?}

🌻

all it needs now if for me to finish the wool applique ~ 

add a hanger and voila!

fini!

 

 Hoping you are all enjoying a peaceful Sunday 

~ with those who love you most...

Blessings from the Farm
