as in 2010…

I started Vernon’s Christmas present, a wonderful wool saddlepad, instructions shared by my friend, Linda, up in Alberta.

I worked on it.  Even started A New Craft Support Group.

And A New Craft Support Group Part B.

Then spring came… and we remodeled and moved… and did whatever…

and I broke my hooking tool…

and got another…

and I then I was almost finished and ran out of roving…

and finally was put onto some ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS black Churro wool from Spear S Sheep and Cattle in Lander, Wyoming…

and I sat down and finished the thing last night!

I want you to know I threw the thing down on the floor and did a little dance on it, I was soooooooooo happy!

Hopefully, it’ll work… I’ll watch to see how well it performs before I ever start another… but, I’m telling you, I think I’d love to have some chair cushions made out of this wool!  It is SO COMFY!

I don’t have anything to sew leathers on the sides… but may enlist someone to do that for me.

I could easily develop a passion for working with wool!
