I was on a snowflake making BINGE over the last week or so! Seriously - if you haven't had a look at Sandra Halpenny's snowflake patterns - you are missing out! I only attempted three of the patterns, but I'm looking forward to doing more for next year!
It's a crazy time of year - I'm beading like crazy - but I don't want to put anything online because I don't want to ruin any holiday gift surprises! But I played with a new craft that I'll share after tha holiday.

It's also been a very emotional time. While I am so unbelievably grateful to receive the generosity of my friend and her family for hosting us during this transition, I very much want to get into our own space! Last week's horrific tragedy hasn't helped my cry-at-the-drop-of-a-hat state of being, yet at the same time it has reminded me to count my long, long list of blessings! Emotional roller coaster!!!!
We had a winter storm over the last few days - the snow was so pretty on Sunday and then it turned to ice...which was a bit hazardous, but just as pretty as the snow!
Ice coating is so pretty! But so destructive on tree branches! I love the beaded snowflakes. I may have to make some.
ReplyDeleteYour snowflakes are beautiful! I know how it is with "binge beading"!!! I made 8 icicles and could have made more but I needed to get other things done. When I have some time I'll post pictures. I think this is an emotional time for everyone. But, as you said, we all have to count our blessings and keep our family close! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI did make the white one on the left, because of you! I didn't know she had more. That one took way longer than I thought it would, but it sure was pretty when finished!
ReplyDeleteI just love all the snowflakes! The bottom right one on that second picture is my favorite out of the mini-blizzard you created.
ReplyDeleteIt is a challenge to keep it together at the moment, and I cannot imagine not having a space of my own to cry in. I hope you get into your own place soon.
Sending all my love and hope that your holidays are wonderful!
