Looky what I did!

I found the instructions to make a beaded covering for ornaments in the newspaper way back in November of 2003. I finally got motivated to do it this year. I think it's lovely! I didn't put on the fringe that the sample had because I didn't have any good beads to do it but I'm pretty pleased anyway.

I got the lights up on the house today. The weather was perfect for doing the job. It never fails though I beat my hands up something fierce putting up Christmas lights. I'm hoping CCB will be surprised when he comes home.

Have a happy hump day! What's left of it at least.

OOoh, that's a fancy little ornament! It's making all the others jealous.

Way to go on getting the lights up.

I used to love working with beads, but between my eyes and my knobbly fingers, there's been a lot of frustration lately. I do love that cover, good choice.

Wow, that's great! Looks like I'm not the only one making ornaments this year. Although I have to say yours looks better than mine. ;)

the ornament is so pretty! I love it.

The hubby is off work today and we're putting up all of the outdoor lights and decorations. I have most of my stuff up in the house - my mantle and stockings look so pretty and festive! And we're going to cut down trees with our bro and sis in law this weekend! Yayy.

I can't believe you do all the outside lights yourself! You are a rock star. I bet CCB will really appreciate it!

Your ornament looks fine without the trim....You are way ahead of me.
