I'm back with a new craft.

Sorry that I haven't been blogging for a while  but I have been working on a new craft.
 At least it is new to me, and I couldn't get it right. I am still working on the beading part.
They are little beaded trees.
 Cool! it isn't hard but the best people to learn from are Russian,
 and I couldn't make out what they were saying.
So, after many attempts with the wire and bead size, I have come to this conclusion.
I still am experimenting but here is what I know.


Isn't it lovely!
My tree isn't completed yet, but here are some ideas.
In this picture, they are using a 24 or 26 wire with 10/0 or 11/0 bead. 


The difference in the trees would be the technique, which since you will have the same 
outcome the technique is purely up to you. You can find all of the techniques on Youtube, it took me 
some time to get the technique that was right for me.
I am sending you the link

Again it is in a dialect of Russian, you won't be able to understand her but I do like the technique.

Here is some inspirations!





I hope that you are inspired!
Check these and other trees, I think that you will want to make one!

Free Crochet Pattern - No Place Like Home



I try to place projects on the blog that I have either tried 
or
 would love to try
 but 
there is not enough time in the world to make everything I want.
So...
This blanket I would love to make but right now 
I am making a chunky blanket. 
I will take a picture of it when it is done in the meanwhile...

Ta Da....

10 Thanksgiving Centerpieces that You Can't Kill



In my younger days, I worked for the best floral shop in San Leandro, CA. 

My Boss, was a very petite French Canadian woman called Marge. 
She once commented in the late 80's that no one celebrated
Thanksgiving like they used to, the orders for Thanksgiving
arrangements were down and spirituality it made her sad.
Thanksgiving is a time to stop and say thank you to God and your family.

Just say Thank You.

Let's Bring Thanksgiving back!

Winter Blanket by LillaBjorn Crochet


My Grandfather, Christopher Turner, owned Barron Woolen Mills and he made the best sweaters, coats, and blankets.
He made one for each of us and when I had to throw it away (due to overuse) 
I felt that I was loosing a part of my Grandfather. 

I want to make something that the my kids and grandchildren would pull
out of the closet and think of me!

I think that I found one!


 I am going to give you the link because there are several links to follow for the full pattern, Winter Blanket
