You know? THAT day in December??? Well, here's some additions to 'The Box' - three pairs are heading there once they've received their non-slip bottom anointing and the other pair is being gifted now due to the untimely appearance of holes in a currently loved pair.
The two pairs in the front fit a size 13 man, the orange pair fits a size 10-11 woman, and the purple would fit a size 7 ladies foot.
There's been more progress on the new landscape and it's starting to look a little better (at least IMHO anyway!)...
Today this is your quote..."He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is halfway there. He who blames no one has arrived"
I love seeing your landscapes come alive. Wow! You've really got a jump start on that December day.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't need to make one pair of slippers right away I wouldn't have done them all but thought I might as well make one felting operation do.
DeleteLove that pocket shawl--my hands are always freezing cold--I haven't crocheted much --only granny squares--but will give this one a try...thanks hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a simple pattern Julierose so hopefully it will work for you.
DeleteSo good to see the progress of your landscape. There's a point at which it suddenly starts to be a thing! always exciting to see. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've found that there's a fine line between appearing like complete and total garbage to suddenly starting to be a thing - you're right.
DeleteThe new Barn looks great and it's only begun. Looking forward to what comes next. There will be be some very happy feet covered with your socks.
ReplyDeleteMy family has had happy feet covered with my felted slippers for a number of years now. I've lost track of how many times I've received a call for replacements. I'm looking forward to the next step on the building too (actually it's a schoolhouse)
DeleteThe sky is quite interesting. Love the fabrics for the barn. Thanks again, for the links.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is different from anything I've done and it's a technique I've been wanting to try. I think I like it and might do it again sometime. Perhaps the grass area?
DeleteThe slippers look sooooo toasty warm!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely and warm - probably why they're so well loved.
DeleteI think your landscape is looking fabulous, I haven't done one for sooo long.
ReplyDeleteKind words Linda - thank you! They're coming from one whose work I greatly admire so they mean a lot.
DeleteLove how they all look in a row!!! And your landscape is looking lovely! What do you put on the bottom of the socks to make them non slip? xx
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist photographing the slippers in a row like that - made me smile. As for what I use on the bottom - it's a product called 'Shoe Goo' and I put a nice thick coat on the bottom of each slipper. I've tried other products that have been recommended but nothing stands up as well as this one. Stinks to high heaven though so I 'cure' them outside.
DeleteYour Box is full of hard work - all those slippers look wonderful I hope you have a pair for yourself?

Yes, the entire family has a pair of these slippers. They've been ongoing for a number of years and I'm often getting requests for replacements so I guess they must be good ones.
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteThe tee shirt link is fabulous!
I'm sure by the time this pandemic thing is over many of us will have lots of worn t-shirts that would be great for projects.
DeleteHi MA just thought I’d pop in and say hi! You’ve been busy with slippers! I live having a project like that-good for tv watching. I’m currently working on a big afghan that is fairly mindless. I love the new barn. It’s funny but I kept looking in the foreground for chickens!! I read a few posts back and that fudge looks and sounds divine!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Yes, the slippers were tv projects. I don't watch much tv and prefer to just listen so knitting and crocheting are great for that.
DeleteAs for the chickens thing - I did actually do just that in the one I have in my blog header at the moment. Don't know if you can see that?
Wow! You're an early bird planning for THAT day already!! I'm lucky if I can plan ahead until the end of the week!! The landscape is really looking fabulous... you must be pleased with your progress! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not normally that early, but I had a special request for a replacement pair of slippers right away so thought I'd outfit the entire family while I was at it. Usually when one pair wears out the rest of the family isn't long following suit.
Deletecheese maker? footwear designer? and amazing stitchery. There is no end to your talents.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure it's talent - more apt to be sheer boredom!
