Seasons Greetings from Dobby Road

Here is the motley crew of four house elves that have been created by 3 women in our crafts group, Kyla, Carolyn and Kristy. We were amazed and delighted to see how the faces all came out differently when we left the pattern behind and went into "freeform". Our other craft group member, Anne, became the group photographer which we now realize is a perfect role for her. She knows her way around the digital camera for sure. No doubt we will capture these creatures of delight in various poses and situations as time goes by. After all... THEY ARE FREE!  They have made one friend already in Carolyn's house, or maybe they stole Deets the cat's favorite napping spot.

Punchneedle Ornaments

Thinking about Christmas theses days and since I was working on a punchneedle project, I decided to design and make some punchneedle ornaments.  Here's a few that I've worked on so far.  Now I need some backing fabric and ribbon for a tie.  Most of all, I enjoy coming up with the designs.  The actual punching takes a while, so my plan of having a lot by a December 1st Craft Fair is probably not going to happen, but at least I'll have a few to add to the other things on my table!
