softie trees

Last year, I bought the FaLaLaLa Felt book online before it came out in book form. I'm beginning to think a lot like Christmas in my head, so I pulled out some wool suiting material I bought in the ends section in the middle of a heat wave (hugely discounted!) and went to print out the pattern.

Oh. My. Goodness!! What trouble I had. My fault. Every time I scanned and tried to resize, it would come out the same size on the printed page. Frustrating. after 1 hour! Yes, 1 hour of cutting into my crafting alone time, I realized the problem: The printer was set on fit to page. So no matter what size it was configured to, it was going to be the same. I tell you so you don't have to go through it too! here endeth the lesson for today.

On to the project:

I had fun with my QuicKutz dies and have made quite a mess on the floor upstairs. But that is upstairs, not where we live everyday, so there it will stay.
A bit of reverse applique...


Here they are together. I call this my small size.


emm, I was so chatty at the beginning, I have nothing left to say!

Have a good weekend!
