ACHIEVED TODAY:
- Did stitching and added buttons and labels on 3 hoodies. This took around 1 1/2 hours per hoodie- so they take a lot longer than I thought to make, I'd estimate 2 1/2 to 3 hours
- Packed van up for market on Saturday. Have LOST the bloody sign! Need to make sure I put it in one place and always leave it there- suggest hallway behind A Board. Apart from that I think I have everything except one box which is ready to go in the sittingroom, and my packed lunch which I will get tomorrow night
- Tidied whole house (def need to organise work draws and cupboard spaces after Christmas)
- Layed out felt boots, soaking ready to be felted
- Started carding orange wools for waistcoat
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Remember to unpack mirror when I unpack van Sat morning!
- When I find the sign, move it to hallway
- Making felt boots: 100g Ryeland, 100g Merino, 100g Herdwick
TO DO:
- Need to leave broken side of gazebo out to fix after Sat market
- Text Vicky and ask if she can bring fairy lights
- Buy packed lunch tomorrow
- Organise storage spaces after Christmas

Primark for Microfibre Blankets, Hoodies, Snood, List of Things to Make
ACHIEVED TODAY:
- visited Primark and found incredible soft microfibre blankets for £5 (125cm x 150cm) need 2 to line a hoody, with around 150cm x 60-70cm left over. They have these in many colours, and also in Christmas patterns- MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO VISIT PRIMARK AFTER CHRISTMAS AND BUY CHRISTMAS PRINT BLANKETS IN THE SALE TO MAKE ONSIES FOR NEXT YEAR!
- Made 2 more hoodies, will be keeping one for myself to wear at markets. 3 to finish off now.
- Finished snood- much happier with it today!
- Finished black and white panda hat, but the eyes need lining (white eyes on white wool don't stand out enough)
- Bought enough elastic and lace to bosh out a load of fancy pants
- Bought fur to line hoods
- Started putting elastic and lace onto spools. They're giving them out free in Fabricland- will go back for more and put all my long lengths of lace and elastic onto spools. I'd like to have a whole shelf of spools eventually! Would be good to hang a pole and have the spools threaded along it.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Primark for microfibre fleece blankets... go back after Christmas!
- Always need to check what I have before I go fabric shopping- I keep buying things I already have! Don't buy any more cream fleece- I have LOADS now!
TO DO:
I HAVE MATERIALS NOW TO MAKE:
- fancy pants and fancy pants kits- need to go through fabric bags and pick out fabrics. Also need to make more packaging labels
- hoods
- snoods
- hoodies
- ski hats
- foxy hats
- I have eyes for 2 more large panda hats
TO DO TOMORROW:
- pack van
-finish hoodies
-make tissue paper pom poms in christmas colours
-buy packed lunch
