Well we did manage to crack on with more of those fings on The List. First of all I managed to make all the ChrissyMouse cards, some were stitched, but some were a collage using washi tape. In total I made 30 cards this year, so there are a few put in the cupboard as spares. Using the multiple point system Miss Lizzie said I could have a total of 6 Fettling Points (1 point for every five cards).
Still working on orders from Miss Lizzie YOU MUST FINISH THIS, there was a lot more Stitchy-stitch, stitchy-stitch. Phew! the last two new outfits completed. Luna is modelling the winter skating dress, and winter coat with faux fur collar - this is destined for Luna v2 (Olivia's Luna). Then she is modelling The twirling dress and the winter velvet cape - this is destined for Imogen's foxy.
Thank goodness Miss Lizzie was on the ball this month to keep me motivated and make sure things that had to be, were actually done. Hurrah for Fettle those Finishes! There have been more *Jigs* and *Waving of Pom Poms* this month. I'm done now, Mr Hubbykins says no more stitching, our family will be arriving and I need to go into Granny PenPen mode. See you all in January.
PS: Phew what a whirlwind of family events and adventures. Everyone had a wonderful time, we even wore matching pj's. Merry Angel flew up to the top shelf so she could watch all the festivities and can continue to live with her festive friends (a quiet gentle hurrah!):
