Crafty slowdown

The pre-Christmas rush got so bad, I was too tired to craft anymore. Mr. Caboodle, Boy and I did manage to whip up a batch of the ugliest gingerbread cookies you have ever seen! And then we gave them to our neighbors. "Hi, Neighbors, love ya... here have some ugly cookies!" I don't have the picture of the felted slippers but I wanted to show you how huge these slippers were before felting (modeled with my size 8 feet). They shrank down to a snug size 8.... amazing! This has led me to believe that you don't have to knit loosely and hugely to felt slippers. I'm going to try using smaller needles and not make them quite as large and see what I get.
