Soul Food #60~

Starlight Starbright..First Star I see Tonight..

Wish I may, Wish I might..Have my Wish I wish tonight~

Look at these cute Christmas ornaments you can make..The paper is vintage..found by her husband:) the star created by Miette..I made one for our tree for this year..Her little doggie is not well these days and she could use some good healing pet thoughts~Things are looking UP though!!



Go have fun visit her blog..It took me a while to figure it out..I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer these days.. but I enjoyed the quiet pleasure of making it..



She's so generous in sharing ideas..I hope you will go see..

It's a simple.. very earthy,homespun ornament in my eyes..and very French~

I also made 2 more little necklaces.this one to go w/ different things..
I still prefer the champagne beige..but this has some pearls from a broken necklace of my mom's..So I'm in love w/ it..

The tutorial is at my beige post:)



Just things to do if you have time on your hands..or like to spend time with your hands and can~Or just love being with special hands..



Enjoy~

    What a beautiful ornament, Monique! I think this year the expensive ornaments will have to go high on the tree and I will need to be creative with unbreakable ones that are within reach of wee hands ;)

    Lovely new necklace and how special to use pearls from your mother's necklace. When the yard and garden chores are done and the cold winds blow, I will have more time for creative endeavors like these.

    A very beautiful ornament. I must pop over to her blog for the details. Love your necklace! I so enjoy playing Leggos with my son and daughter. It is a confidence booster to build anything with those pieces. ;)
    Have a wonderful day, Monique.

    Ornament have a special place in our heats. Most of us know where they came from or who gave then to us. And homemade ornaments are the best.
    Beautiful little work of art.
