Beki's Beads

While making the rounds of my favorite blogs this morning,
I ran across these marvelous
Christmas tree ornaments
from
http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/

The wooden beads are from the Dollar Tree and they are
strung on big fluffy pipe cleaners.

She did this as a project for her children,
but I think that even us adults
could do it!

Beki's tree and decorations are
all in bright, primary colors
this year and are wonderful,
as always!

Do visit Beki's blog and
her Etsy store.
I'm the proud owner of
several of her items.
You will
love them, too!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas at Our House

Christmas at our house is going to be a bit lazy this year. There are a few more gifts to be embroidered and lots left to be wrapped. A few more delightful dinner parties to attend and then there's just the three of us enjoying the fire and the tree. Maybe a few more games to play this year? And fondue for a quiet New Year's Eve. Ah, this is the very best part of the holidays!

Merry Christmas!

Here are just a few more of the
Christmas ornaments I've made this year. I'd like to start early next year and make enough of these and the beaded snowflakes to do a whole tree!
