Show and Tell part 2

I finished two major projects yesterday, as well as Christmas stockings for my step-brother and boyfriend:

They were pretty easy once my mom explained to me how the fuzz had to be sewn on. This is the first thing I’ve ever done that was lined, yay! Bits of that red fur are everywhere though. And this came yesterday from eBay:

I had no idea it was so big. It’s’ three levels high and almost two feet high! The stamps say the coolest things: “please rush” “certified hand carried” “Please sign” and lots of other cool things. I got some doubles so I’ll have to give them out to my readers after Christmas. Oh, and I’m still on the look out for “first class” one, so if anyone sees one, give me a holler! Merry Christmas!!

    Jinkies it’s all craft craft, knit a bit, craft with you. You make-a me jealous – darn PhD thesis. But, as of 9th Jan I’m totally free… you may hear the whoopin’ and hollerin’ from there. Merry Christmas to you all, Kay xxxxxxxx
