Once I had made Ruth's card I thought I could sit back. I have now realised December is slipping away rapidly, so I had better crack on with making more cards for the 'Chosen Few' as I call the handful of friends that get a handmade card.  |

Hands up all those who vow (every year) that next year they will not let Christmas creep up on them and that they will be super organised ...

Supper organised. I would be happy with sort of organised. I don't send Christmas cards anymore. they were a lot of work and expense and they were always late because I didn't start on time.

My December fiberness is taken me down the road of needle felting into a bought cardigan. I think it's finished!! it's one of those projects that can go on and on, but I may add one little blue flower on the opposite shoulder for balance.The flowers you see on the left go over the shoulder and down the back a little way. |

Wow Carole, I really like that, how unique. I bet it took you an age. I like the small amount of colours you have chosen, more would have been too much maybe.

I have a question for you soap felters.
I felted some last year in preparation for a church sale. When I pulled them out for the sale I found that some of them had molded. Just a little bit.. I was able to scrub it off mostly
Do I need to make them just before the sale, or did I not store them correctly?
I think I had them in a plastic bag.

They take a long time to dry thoroughly. I would recommend not storing them in plastic. Or make sure they are bone dry before putting them in plastic.

The sweater looks great Carol
Yes the soap can take long time to dry. I had soap I thought was dry so I popped it in the storage box but when I pulled them out two days later they felt damp. I usually leave them to dry on the wracks several days and I had only let them dry for about 24 hours.

When I was making soaps this year at one point it coincided with the two days of real heat that actually was our British Summer so I put mine out to dry in the sun. |
