Interpreting the world
I’ve joined my daughter over on Ravelrywhere I can display knitted and felted creations. Take a peek! I usually only knit and felt during the winter months, so I am just getting started. Our 78 degree temperatures earlier this week have been replaced with frost-covered car windows this morning. These fluctuations give us a peek at the seasons others enjoy at greater length. It’s just the right amount of fall and winter for me!
What a blast! I so enjoyed creating a tuffet, named Ms Checks, under the direction of Sharyn Cole at Thimble Pleasures. Today we added the hardware and assembled our tuffets. Great fun!
Ms Checks finds a home!
The tuffet top is almost ready for upholstery. I’ve add some black and white checks that I think make the colors pop. Just a couple more steps and then it is ready for class tomorrow.
Miss Muffet, of course. Here are the next 2 stages in the process. On Friday we will meet again for the upholstery portion of the project…. and I’m told we will come home with a completed tuffet. Sure hope I can get all of that done in 4 hours!
Last Friday I spent 4 hours learning how to assemble the covering for a tuffet. This next Friday I will learn how to upholster and finish it. I can’t wait. The class is offered at Thimble Pleasures in Chapel Hill. Later that day, my sister made me aware of a wonderful web site that sells beautiful tuffets – Mackenzie-Childs. I especially like the wonderfully decorative painting of the feet. Have some fun exploring this web site.
Here is the completed first 1/8 of the tuffet covering. Gotta get stitchin’ to finish the next 7/8ths.
