hot snowflakes

 

I've been crocheting little white circles all year.

 

 

I eventually threaded them together

and added buttons and pearls.

 

They are strung up on my verandah door and

with the sun shining through they look really stunning.

 

As I said the sun shines through so I couldn't get a

decent photo to show you.

 

So I put them on another wall and took another photo

 

and then another spot and took a photo

 

and yet another spot.

 

Every time I moved them they would get

 all tangled so I just gave up .

 

It was also a million degrees the day

I tried to decorate with my snowflakes .

 

You'll just have to believe me when I say they look beautiful.

 

Wishing you and yours a merry and safe Christmas.

craft fail

I'm trying to do a bit more "just because I feel like it" craft .

Not for anyone else , not for work , just because I feel like it .

I saw this brilliant melted beads project on pinterest and wanted to try it.

So I organised some beads and cooked those little blighters .

The multi coloured beads were a bit too small .

The bluey coloured beads turned out pretty .

The little ones in the patty pan just burnt and stank the house out .

I cooked them at 200c for about 15 mins .

It may or may not have been longer as I think I may have passed out from the fumes.

Note to self ~ next time open more windows.

It was fun . It was different .

I am going to do more just because craft .

What about you , are you trying new things ?
