This is another holiday project from my Little Miss.

My poor Little Miss pulled a muscle in her neck. She spent the day yesterday walking around with her head tilted to one side, looking very uncomfortable. Poor thing!

Christmas Bracelet

I’ve mentioned before the lovely beading shop I visit. Last time I was there, supposedly for more Christmas star supplies, I couldn’t walk past the kit for this gorgeous bracelet. It only took me an hour or so to put together and I’m loving the “jingle bells”!

Beaded Wreath Ornament

This ornament was another MOPS craft. (By the way, MOPS is Mother’s of Pre-Schoolers, a group that meets with care for the kids and fun stuff for the mums.) This one uses some beads, wire and ribbon. Super quick and easy!

Beaded Christmas Angels

When I went out to the beading shop to get the beads to make our Christmas Stars I also found kits to make these angels. So last weekend Little Miss and I made them. Only took us about half and hour, and the result is very pretty. They use beads, wire and safety pins.

More beaded stars…

These are made by Wild Woman Jewelry and are available in her Etsy shop. Aren’t they gorgeous!?
