Inspiration
I’ve definitely taken inspiration from some of the things I’ve seen in craft magazines this month, though not really in the way they originally intended…
Something I Made
We saw chains of origami stars at a craft fair recently and I ended up making my own. We received a Christmas card in a very pretty (and huge) envelope, so I recycled the envelope and turned it into stars. Add some sparkly red embroidery thread and voila, one simple garland.
Motifs: Geometric

Colour
A friend had these embroidery threads out when I went to visit and I thought they were so vibrant and cheerful.
Festive
I’m not one for Christmas trees really, but my fella wanted one so I found something I could live with. I think this wooden tree with built in LED lights is perfect: simple but still festive.
In a few days, once I’ve had a chance to view all the entries for this month, I’ll put up my favourites – please do pop back to have a look! In the meantime Rachel over at The Awesome Lady will be guest-hosting for January, so please pop along to her blog to see what topics she’s chosen 
Lovely photos as always – I love the Christmas tree! I noticed that apart from the threads photo you have a definite red and white thing going on this month.
Thank you! I was actually going to change the threads photo for one that matched the others (it was an accidental theme, I didn’t notice until I put the photos all together) but I loved it so much I couldn’t do it!
I particularly love the stars!
Thanks for your comment reminding me about the crafty photo challenge. I have posted mine up ( sorry for being late..I haven’t been well and have been crazy busy over the holidays).
I love the wooden Christmas tree you have, the colourful treads are so pretty.
Oohh, now I have to go on a hunt for those magazines – I’ve never heard of them before! I love the little origami stars…what a brilliant way to make use of pretty envelopes and scraps of nice paper!
I made some of those origami stars too.. but when I hung them from the window, first the baby and then the cat decided they were great fun to pull off. Yours look much better than mine (but they do make excellent cat toys)!
So this year I’ve learned that origami stars make irresistable cat toys, and that my felted baubles make irresistable dog toys (two different customers had to rescue their felted baubles from their dogs!). Maybe we’ve spotted a niche in the market
