Crochet and Needlepoint
Christmas Ornaments
Well, I just couldn't believe my luck when I went to the thrift store and got all these crocheted and needlepointed Christmas Ornaments for free, a whole basket of them!
I have always enjoyed making Christmas ornaments, because it gives the Christmas tree a special personal touch.
None of these I had to make, but why didn't anybody else want them? They gave them away for free!
But I'm not complaining, I have been wanting to add some homemade Christmas Ornaments to these pages for awhile, because they are so simple to make.
The problem is, that I don't have the instructions on how to make them. But most craftees can just look at them and figure it out anyway, and I have a whole bunch I can show you.
I left the pictures rather large, so I hope your computer has a fast speed.

Here's
another cute little idea. These are small squares of styrofoam, wrapped like little
presents.
The wrapping paper is not foil, but shiny like foil, and tied in a bow with a thin gold string.
I have always liked these because they are so light on the tree. See a picture taken from the top
Also in the Christmas Ornament Basket was some crocheted butterfly refrigerator magnets.and three flannel santas (see large pic) and two ceramic santas

Prepare for a Recession?
- I'm starting a list here of some things we are going to do to try to prepare
for this... somehow.
We Put Solar Lights in our
House - We've had a set of outdoor solar lights outside our house for 3 years,
and thought, "Why not put outdoor solar lights "inside" the house?
Wind
Turbine Test - We started thinking about how we could build a wind turbine
to generate our own electricity.
Magazines
for Toddlers - I wanted to send some magazines to the grandbaby for something
to do during winter.
