Felt Christmas Ornaments Progress
December 14, 2011 Well, that was easy ... I got all the pieces cut out! Look out people, Mama's on a roll! Haha :)
There was a moment of panic with this one ... I somehow lost the green for the top section of the tree. I suppose that's what you get when you open a kit and then take all the things out several times and play around with them as you contemplate starting and then eventually change your mind and end up ignoring it for far too long.
But I found a green felt scrap in my cupboard. I don't think it's a PERFECT match to the original, but it's pretty darn close so it'll do. I may change the floss color, though.
Ooooh, she's gonna be so cuuute ... I love the sequins and stitches on her hind quarters.
LOVE this one - even though it looks ... er ... more involved ... than the other two ornaments.
Now ... which one do I do first? You'd be smart to bet on one of the easier ones. I'm in the mood for more of the "instant" rather than "delayed" kind of gratification ... ;)
Oh, and by the way, does this "shrubbery" ...
remind anyone else of this ... ?
LOL! It's been like over 20 years since the last time I saw "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (yes, seen it more than once ... cult classic when I was in University) and STILL that word cracks me up every.single.time.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who giggles every time she hears the word "shrubbery"! And you are like a crafting ninja! Can't wait to see these beauties all stitched up! :)
Hello. Just discovered your blog and LOVE IT! Love the colours, the photogrpahs, what you write.....Couldn't resist and have subscribed. I am sure those decorations will look fantastic on your tree.
Those are going to be adorable!
By the way, last time you responded to a comment of mine I noticed your email address - are you in western Canada, by any chance? I'm on Vancouver Island. :)
Looking good! I don't think I would have the patience to do them!

Hey!! We LOVED that movie! ;0 If I put sparkles on my butt do you think it will look pretty like your doe or will it make my butt look bigger? Just asking...
You go girl! ;0
They're going to be wonderful! Love Monty Python!
LOL again! Leave it to you to turn embroidery on ornaments into a Monty Python rabbit trail - bahahahahahaha.... got my daily dose of good medicine (laughter) in again today thanks to you! :O) Can't wait to see the finished product! I love the deer also and the sequins and stitches on it and the house, too! So much fun! Your girls will treasure them!
moving right along.
I love love love the improvised color on the tree - it's fabulous! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!
I can't hear that word without thinking of that film either! Probably also due to my many, many repeated viewings. The decorations are looking good, I shall look forward to seeing more...
