Some more diamond beading today. I added some embellishments to the outside of the frame.  These are from Aussie Trends Handcrafts and a few of my friends spent an enjoyable afternoon learning how to bead.   

Sharing some diamond beading hangers I made to hang in my front windows this year. They look really pretty with the lights on them    

I made this set of Tree ornaments for my friend as a thank you for hosting our neighbourhood Christmas Party. They are a Dreaming tree project and fun to make. I knew my friend  loves pink and pretty so I made them pink and silver and they matched her tree perfectly.   

Merry Christmas to my family, my friends. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous New Year .  Christmas wishes  also to my followers on my blog. I have appreciated your support during the past year .  Sharing a few photos of my decorations this year

Guess what had woken us up from our snooze, But a rusty old Ute pulled by eight mighty kangaroos. The cheerful man driving was giggling with glee, And we both knew at once who this plump bloke must be. Now, I'm telling the truth it's all dinki-di, Those eight kangaroos fairly soa...

Even though  I really can't sew I loved making these Victorian Sewing Boxes  They are the same concept as a exploding card, a bit fiddly to compete but definately a challenge.    

Some more pine cone projects to share today. The first is a pine cone hanger, very simple  but very popular. I added a bit of greenery and berries to the cone  and a re cardinal and a ribbon hanger . I also bought some tiny terracotta pots and added a pine cone  studded with berries and a bit of greenery and a ribbon. A nice little gift.
