K is not a very enthusiastic fan of craft, so I was quite pleased to be able to get him to work on more Christmas crafts this week and make Christmas cards for the family. I highly suspect his enthusiasm is link to the medium that we use in craft, and usually anything with cutting, glue-ing and pasting will get his approval.
It has been a productive week for me on my hand-mades. I finally finished the Christmas gifts and this was the last of the appliques that I made for the kids this afternoon.
Here's the result of my attempt at making novelties with felt; fridge magnets. This was fun to do, however a little challenging as the parts were so tiny.
Embroidery projects for my totes. Been working on 3 totes concurrently for myself, a good way to practice before I plan to 'force' my hand-made bags as gifts on friends and family. And I think one can never have too many totes 😉
My first needle felted project for another bag for myself, a relatively raw attempt but I was pleasantly surprise how easy it was to do.
There are still half a dozen of K's t-shirts that I plan to work on to be felt-appliqued, but for now will be taking a break from appliques and work on my totes and bags. I am like this maniac when it comes to doing hand-made things as I can work on 4-5 items concurrently, sewing can be so addictive.
Working on these Christmas hand-mades finally put me in this Christmas mood, I am listening to Christmas songs while writing out this post. Here's one of K's and my favorite Christmas songs;
Here's wishing all friends a blessed and joyous Christmas. May you be filled with God's love and peace this season. Christmas is more than just parties, eating, drinking, meeting up with friends and family…remember, Jesus is the reason for Christmas! Blessed Christmas!
WOW! Really nice! Loved especially the crafts you did with Kyle, and that bag you did for yourself! You really have the eye for details! Blessed Christmas to you and your family!

Thanks for the compliments Jus…Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!
You should start marketing your craft. I want one!
I am indeed looking at marketing my stuff, the felties included soon. The major challenge I have is with time, I have so much to do, with myplayschool.net + responsibilities at home, that it will be tough to spare some time to produce more of these items. Will look at ‘hobby production’, and put items up for sale, rather than attend to customise orders.
