It's ornament making season again. My favorite time of the year. These little trees are on their way to Amy for her third annual ornament swap. I've managed to participate in all three now.
I decided to create a new set on my Flickr of ornaments so they are all in one place. You can see them here.
I revisited a craft from last year but added a crystal on top of the tree and a bell inside before stringing it. I must have had amnesia about how time consuming it was stitching all the little beads on it. It about did me in. The pattern for the trees can be found here.
This beautiful embroidery was part of what I received from the Red & Aqua Swap hosted by Selena.
How great is it that the wonderful Linn went to my Flickr favorites and found this papercut that I favored and used it as her inspiration. Love that. Love this piece.
And my fabric squares from the spare change swap that Juliette hosted arrived. What a rewarding swap...send in twenty-five squares of fabric and get twenty-five in return. This is just a small sampling of all the beautiful squares that arrived. What fun I can have with these.
And finally, a sneak peek at what I sent out to my Back Tack 4 swap partner, Katie.
That's enough links for one post...it's tired me out. Have a great Monday.
