blue christmas.

mikes wanting a blue tree this year.......we have a beautiful white tree thats pre-lit with white lights and each year i put white and silver on it with one colour.....mike has these blue LED lights that i'm really not fond of LOL and this year he's insisting on a blue tree......i don't have anything blue so i've made a start-except these haven't turned out as blue as i thought they would!! these rather lovely stars are from tando.....i painted them a light blue (took an hour!!) then i sponged some glue onto them and put some gilding flakes on them-this is where it all went different than i thought it would-think i sponged too much glue on because you can't really see much of the blue LOL. then i put a few little gems onto them.....and,yes,i did do both sides:)

home sweet home

yesterday i was determined to do something crafty and have something to show at the end of the day........it did mean that i had to turn the computer off though......sorry girls,i love you,but you clearly are a distraction LOL xx i took one of di's home sweet home plaques on the retreat with me but never got round to doing it...... yesterday i finished it-yay:)
