7th Annual DG Christmas Workshop!!!! General Chat

Got all the tracings done, looking at the project and think all I can purchase state side is the christmas sparkly felt, our snowman needs to have diamonds right?

will also send in the package some sparkles..know how some of you love sparkles
especially ME lol

She is doing both Betty. She is OK, just busy working two jobs.

hope she's loving her new home..

I posted in 1st post but incase nobody sees it (NOTE: always check in the 1st post to see for updates) that I made note I've a zillion victorian santa fabric pieces..we used those for the sleigh project..workshop #1 I believe..anyway if some of you think you've a project you might want to use it on I can inclue one in your box..just let me know

I'd be loving a Santa.

added a santa to your name above Karen..will make sure to include

I dont' think I can sew a santa.....lots of work on those you did. So beautiful.

Thank you.

I'd love a Santa too Please Betty.

Guys it was the Santa for the sleigh, flat piece
(Barb you made 4 I believe when you were here) still interested?

Betty did you mention what type of paints? I am mailing my money out Saturday.

Morning all

Just regular acrylic paint, dollar stores likely have what you need..thought of a method to give the snowman some depth so you do need. White/off white/brown/black, then colors of choice for scarf

Do you have any Santa's that have Not been cut along the edges? I thought I might try a pillow!!

betty i have paint too,

barb if betty dosnt have santa i do lol

Yes I believe I do Barb..will get them out when I get back from Florida..various colors as well..all except blue I'm thinking

waving Liz

I would like to try a couple of Santas. I can make something for the grandkids. Do I need to add.extra to the $$$ I am sending??

no extra $$$ needed, will include a few

when you get them you can check the sleigh workshop and it will lead you through a project..you are great with tools so likely you can make the sleighs (top/runners) yourself as you can cut a few snowman once you have the template pieces I'm sending out.

Just measured him and yes he's 24" high

I'd love a couple of Santa's, too! I always try to give Colt something to add to his family's Chistmas decor every year, plus one for myself! Thanks, Betty

Oh, I have paint, too!

I can buy paint if I don't have the colors Betty.

Evening all

Snowman now have socks. Lol. Didn't have a good variety but what I bought will be nice

Too funny bought supplies I needed for the little treat I'm including, had ladies walk by and stop to ask what I was doing, explained it, thought it was meant for gals in this park, wanted to join, now there, I could have had a job

They thought the project 'cute'..

Hope you have a wine glass!

I have one! YES!

You need to have your tools in Florida Betty.

Yes I should
Lol

Dropped into the post office this morning and there was some envelopes from some of you..hope you don't mind that I will add payment received in the notes above so I won't forget who did..

As always I try to find the easiest method of making the project non-stress

came to mind if I can find some stripe christmas fabric I could include a piece for the neck of snowman and the 3'd scarf that hangs, would save having to have a lot of colors (paints) and thin lined brushes for those who may want to use...could be applied with glue of sorts so now I'm on a mission..in fact I will go out at lunch and have a look..will include it in all boxes and it will be left to the individual wether or not they want to use it

OH MY, no telling coming from you Betty, you always include something extra, and it is always a delight!

thanks LindaKay, means much coming from you...

hint:

you will need different sized needles but nothing to thread it

A needle holder? For us to carry with us?

My envelope goes out tonight Betty. Was busy this weekend with sewing and gymnastics. Sophia came in third in her second meet ever. She was a little late putting her arms up but she is still flying high......

Barb, that is awesome!

Maybe a pincushion?

Neither..

Barb she's just too adorable, was soaking in the glory, why take time to hold up your hands when you can view everyone admiring your achievement..Sophia has her priorities straight..lol

How about more hints? :)

gee whiz..hmmmm

shades

Shades?

Maybe sunglass holders?

nope

Magnets?

nope..

clue 1 - wine glass
clue 2 - needles

Oh boy! You got me scratching my gead!

Lol

A painted wine glass with threads? I'm really confused now.....

Bottle of wine. Needles let you drink the wine without pulling the cork....lol
