Happy New Year and a fairytale collection

This is just a little post to thank you all of you for staying with me during this past year. You made me realize how much I love blogging, decorations, and most of all to create.
All of you made me smile and always had nice words, giving me strength to continue even during the "after work apathy" :-) where I was too tired to switch on the computer or sit down at my sewing machine.
One thing is sure, cultivating hobbies is the best thing anyone could do especially when your family is already fantastic. It's the best remedy for going insane with all the bad news we hear. And this blog is a place where I want to store all nice things just because I love being here.
A special thanks goes to my hubby too that has been so supportive as well as my son that he's been so patient.

Enough now with soppy thoughts asI've decided to start the New year with a bit of magic and fairytale in my creations. Here's a little preview:
Alice In Wonderland




And now that Christmas is over, I can show you my sister present that took me 5 hours to make...I might be slow with beads but it was really hard to make. I'll be so happy if someone that uses this techniques could give me some tips :-) as I think the result is fantastic!

Necklace for my sister

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Button ornaments

I've just found in my parents house a tin of vintage buttons so I went on the net to look for ideas. Here's what I came out with, for Christmas of course.
See more ideas in Martha Stewarts site.

Basic technique explained below:


The basic technique for all the ornaments is the same. Bend a pipe cleaner in half and twist once at the top for a loop. Slide buttons over pipe cleaner ends, slipping one end into each hole (if the button has four holes, use two diagonal ones). Use larger buttons for bellies and hat brims. When finished, twist ends of pipe cleaner to secure, and trim. For reindeer legs and antlers and for Santa's arms, bend 2-inch pieces of pipe cleaner in half, slip on between buttons, and twist. Glue on felt for Santa's beard and the snowman's nose. To hang the reindeer, loop a thread around its middle and tie.

Enjoy!
