I've been busy working on a few projects. One project I do every year is to create a special Christmas ornament for each son. I try to do something that happened during the previous year. This is one in the works.
Sometimes I embroider, Other times I use paper. For this Seattle ornie I'm doing a felt collage.
I have cut out all the little buildings in the skyline. I will hand sew them on the background and then decide how to turn it into an ornament.
Sending thoughts and prayers to the people of Paris.

Hi Leslie, WOW I love what you are creating here for your son's ornament. Beautiful felt work.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice desk in the works too. Have fun and looking forward to the progress.
Prayers for Paris.
See you soon. xo
Thank you Celeste. I hope it turns out the way I imagine it. Painting the desk component today. Have a good day-great for nesting in the rain.
DeleteYou have quite the skill with cutting those tiny shapes from felt! Your skyline view of Seattle is going to be a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know about that, but hopefully he'll like it. I'll show it off when its finished. Thanks, Vickie.
DeleteHi Leslie! WOW! Can't wait to see your Space Needle ornament, so much fun! I'm so happy you're sharing your ornaments you make for your kids :)
ReplyDeleteThe events in Paris are so heartbreaking and shocking. What has become of the world? Not that we haven't had unspeakable ugliness and violence before but now it seems to be a constant assault against the world. So very frightening and sad.
Take care and happy stitching!
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the world today. I don't even like to think about it for too long or I get so depressed. It is so sad, that a few bad people can change the whole world. Anyway, thanks about the ornie. I'll show it as I work on it. Have a good week!
Hi Leslie! Oh, this is wonderful! Felt is kinda hard to cut and I'm so impressed with your cityscape you've cut out! What a sweet little ornament this will be and no one will have any like them. A couple of years ago I made little felt ornaments for my little granddaughter's little white tree. I absolutely loved many all of the seasonal ornies! Thanks so much for popping in to see me.

DeleteI love the idea of a collage. You are so darn talented, Leslie. I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteAw Shucks, Kim. You are too nice. I'll share it as I work more on it. Right now I'm in the middle of making that desk. Have a good week!
