Crazy Tree Skirt


 I have thought of making a crazy tree skirt for quite awhile.  Karina, who is a student in one of my ongoing wool crazies has been working on a huge one and it inspired me to finally get to it.  Mine is about 31" across....and full of wool plaids......and then LOTS of snowmen.....



I still need to give the "men" some eyes and of course back the whole thing, but it is almost done.  It is going to be one of my fall classes at the Loft.  The new class schedule is in the works, so I best get busy and finish it.  I started a new stitchery on my trip....but I was to busy being grandma to stitch much....:))))

      It is going to be HOT here the next few days.  Maybe I should crank up the air and pretend that it is cold enough for these snow guys.....Jo Ann
