Paper Snowflake

Christmas is getting closer and closer, which means lots of Christmas lights, decorations and other ornaments, and lost of baked goodies :-) I've been making decorations for the past few days. This is a paper snowflake. I found the instructions for making these on the Internet and they are simply great! If you have lots of rooms to decorate, these are the perfect ornaments. Depending on the size of the squares used to make each point, the star can turn out pretty big (this one is about 30 cm / 15 inches in diameter). Hang a few around the house and they will fill the rooms with festive spirit :-)

An Elegant Evening Purse

I crocheted this little purse with glass beads. The beads are crocheted into the purse, not sewn on. I have another purse like this in the making, where I used the same type of beads, only in a different colour.

A Happy Summer Bag

A while ago I bought two boxes of pony beads. The boxes contained these lovely pendants, too. I liked them very much, but I just couldn't decide what to make with them. After putting them on a string I discovered that they make a lovely jingling sound when they clash together. I immediately decided to make a crocheted bag with them. The pendants are not sewn on, but are actually crocheted into the bag and the bag jingles when you walk. It's going to be a lovely accessory for the summer next year :-)
