Hello friends!! So, December is marching along already and I am pleased to say that all my Christmas cards have been made so I have been industrious making little gifts for my colleagues. I started this years ago and have, so far, managed to make something different each year.
While browsing on pinterest I came across lolly sticks projects so decided to make some hanging stars, decorated in different ways using bits and pieces that I had been "saving"!! I also discovered many, many wooden curtain rings so decided to make something with them.
This is what happened...
I painted the sticks with pearly paint, glued them together in formation and then decorated, each one a little differently. The curtain ring I crocheted using this tutorial and simply added some snowflake buttons, a bow and some red sparkly glitter domes.
They happen to be perfect for the current challenges at Allsorts #548, Christmas gifts and Fab 'n Funky are Anything but a card
I haven't shared any photos lately so this is what I have been up to...an evening out with my lovely friend Kim to an audience with Anton du Beke...get me!!
and some lovely crisp walks. The dogs come back with frosty legs and have to thaw out!!
That is all for now, I am back tomorrow, so see you then xx
