Flickr Favorites Tuesday: Christmas ornaments, originally uploaded by Marian Florcita.
A christmas tree with rich reds and golden baubbles… warm with twinkling lights and velvet bows looks a bit out of place when the average temperature is about 35C. The southern hemisphere celebrates Christmas as the european forefathers did although wearing a swimmsuit…

This one is more for the couch… it even comes with a pocket so you can put the remote control or…chocolate…or [...]

For more mosaics, visit Mitsy’s blog.
All the credit of these [...]

Some work too…

Yes yes… it’s not all fun and games… sand and sun. I still have lots of wool to use before I leave. I’ve made a few scarves for a couple of friends who came over to visit and I am also working on another blanket. TIP… again… if you want to put your felting work [...]
