Another search for something to show you today yielded this...not very exciting perhaps and not a great picture, but desperation is as desperation does!!

Every year I create a series of ornaments for gifting; some are gifts in and of themselves, and others are used as 'bows' on other gifts. These are two of the ones I made this year...no two were the same (as is the case of real snowflakes!). Even better was that all the raw materials came from my stash so they cost me nothing (shhh, don't tell!!). These were really easy to make and a couple of evenings in front of the tv created all 20 ornaments that I needed.
Today your quote comes from an anonymous source (but thought to be from the heart of a 7 year old)...."Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen"
Your ornaments are lovely and I checked out the tutorial link. I have never seen anyone use plastic canvas as the base...interesting. Of all the links, and I liked each one, I am the ugly paper towels separating my pans girl. I love the use of knitted (will be crocheted in my style) separators to protect my pans. Thank you ever so very much dear. I always learn something from your postings. XO
ReplyDeleteLove your snowflake ornaments Mary Anne.... the perfect addition to decorate a gift! Lots of people here now I may not get much time at the computer! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots of creative projects! Christine x
