Holiday Crafting
The Holiday season is fast approaching. This is my busy season. Not that I’m not busy the rest of the time, goodness knows I don’t have time to think recently. But the holidays always bring new opportunities for me to be crafty.
My first opportunity of the season came in the form of a Christmas ornament decorating contest at work. Everyone who entered was given a silver-colored glass ball ornament to decorate however we see fit. I have some cool ideas rattling around in my brain for this one. I can’t wait to get started, though it will have to wait until after Thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I would love to make some homemade cookies with Danica this year, but I’m sure that I won’t have the time. I’m making dinner this year for around 15 people… now that’s a crafty adventure right there. Maybe I’ll think of something cute to make with Danica before Thursday.
This year I plan on doing some Christmas tatting. I have a dear friend that I want to make something special for. At first I was thinking that I would tat her a cross bookmark, because I know she would really appreciate that. But now I have found some large yarn bobbins at Hobby Lobby and they look like they would make great shuttles for yarn. So I’m considering tatting her a scarf make with yarn.
I also want to make some tatted snowflakes and angels. My Sister loves snowflakes, it would really be nice if I can make her a special, one of a kind, snowflake for Christmas.
Oh! What a great idea… what if I make a scarf from tatted snowflakes connected together? Tomorrow I’m heading down to the yarn shop to scope out white yarn that would be suitable for tatting. I can’t wait!!
