Ornamental Weekend

Hey Folks!

Did you remember the time change? What a GREAT blessing it was to be able to sleep in a little longer! I feel so rejuvenated!

This weekend I worked on getting the upstairs a little more situated as I went through boxes, condensed, put away, and threw away. It feels great to be a little more closer to being done.

After I felt I had accomplished enough for the weekend, I started working on additional Christmas Ornaments for our ornament exchange.


What do you think? They are the first ones I've done, so they will get better as I go along. I also am waiting for red felt, but it might be next weekend when I can get it.

What did you do this weekend?

be blessed

Christmas Ornament Exchange

Folks... It's On!

The first 'REAL' ornament exchange that I have participated in. Sure, I have exchanged ornaments with friends at Christmas. But nothing beats giving/getting ornaments from people around the world. And because I like to procrastinate get things done early, I had mine mostly done in January.

However, I am still looking to make some more. I found several links on pinterest that I'd like to give a whirl.




This one is a quilled Snowflake. Pretty, Yes? You can find the tutorial here.


Or how about these pretties, which you can find here. My favorite is the felt pinecone, and because I have a bazillion yards of white felt, I may just give it a go.

What about a paper pinecone using scrapbook paper? Take a look at these and tell me what you think. I love them. Just don't know if I have enough time to get 25 done by Thanksgiving.

And last, but not least... these fabric rag ball ornaments.

Are you as excited as I am??! Which one do you think I should do?

Don't forget to leave some love if you use one of the tutorials from above.

be blessed!
