Just another quickie post this evening, sharing the dusktime view out my kitchen door. There is something so comforting about having the soft glow of twinkle lights outside the house.
And what home is complete without a new pair of slippers?
I made them using Ayumi's pattern out of the Summer 2011 Stitch magazine. I beefed up the sole by using a layer of peltex and an extra layer of batting in the sole and upper. I also sewed the binding down by machine. I needed them to be a little more sturdy because I'm using them to wear out on the deck to get in the hot tub! L-man even wants a pair!
Thank you Ayumi for such an awesome pattern!!
And to all of you who celebrate Christmas, I pray your Christmas is filled with joy and peace!!
~Penny
You and Ayumi make a great pair. [Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :-) ]
