something a little different.

For the past couple of years, I've participated in a home based craft sale, in December.  There are three of us who form the core of the sale, but the others have come and gone.  Not necessarily because of anything to do with the sale, but things like illness and moving out of the area have contributed.  This year we are taking a slightly different approach.  We are meeting once a month for an afternoon, and working on our craft.  We are using the meeting room of a local restaurant, and have invited anyone in the area to join us, via Facebook.  If nothing else, we hope that we'll all have enough made to justify having the sale, and will have organized a means of promoting it.

This week, I'm laid low by back problems, but have almost finished two, of what I hope will become many, tree ornaments suitable as sale items.  They will just need a hanging cord, and I plan to add suitable artificial leaves or flowers inside.  They are made from scraps of Duipionni silk, machine quilted with metallic thread, and hand beaded.
