I've been loving all these inspiring ideas for homemade Yule Tree ornaments:
 |
| (photo from Paper and Whimsy esty shop) * 101 ways to reuse buttons - little christmas trees on this etsy shop were the inspiration for a similar craft, except I double sided the tree and stuffed it with wool roving, then sewed on multicoloured buttons  * Martha Stewart's button wreath made a great craft for my almost 4 year old who really enjoyed stringing them onto pipe cleaners all by himself |
 |
| (photo from apron thrift girl website) * lovely beeswax ornaments which I am inspired to make, perhaps this week |
 |
| (photo from Arian Studio |
* this sweet little toque ornament from Arian Armstrong's blog was too cute to resist making
 |
| (photo from Petunia blog, but the link for directions on how to make appear to no longer connect!) |
* these simple stars from Petunia were quite easy to make, but then I complicated matters by double siding them, stuffing them with roving, adding some beadwork, and then blanket stitching around the edges!

* and as always, the Magic Onion blog had so many lovely craft ideas, but I couldn't resist making a couple of these Pinecone Gnomes
So aside from crafting my little heart out I've been loving:
* Dr. Hauschka body care, again
* Brie cheese on toast with pears
* hot chocolate
* spending time with family and friends today out in the sunshine cutting down our Yule tree, laughing, singing into the Santa-oki machine (and then going nuts when the kids wouldn't stop), feasting and then decorating.
