Bernice,
What kind of beads did you use and how did you attatch them.  I like that idea!

I've been making the plastic canvus stars Terry taught us to make. I have done a number of color variations, and I am decorating them with contrasting color beads on the points and the middle. I plan to attach one for each person I give a present too.

Not for Christmas, but for as soon as they are done, I am working on Heather's poncho. I didn't like the other one, so I pulled it all out. I like it much better this time. My 4 year old grandson asked for a rainbow poncho. I have done the red, orange, yellow, and more than half way through the green. Each stripe is three inches wide. When I get through the green blue and purple, I will make a narrow stripe of each to end it. Also, I made the neck a bit too big, so I think I will pick up stitches along it and do one row of each color to make it smaller around. My circular needle was too small, and some of the stitches came off and it was horrible trying to get them back on because they had slipped down quite a few rows. Now I have bought a bigger circular needle and the little rubber tips to keep the stitches from falling off.

Next the beads are coming out and I want to do some knitted decorations.
Maybe next year I can crochet well enough to crochet decorations.

It has been very slow at work, so I have been knitting and working on plastic canvus between calls.

Bernice and the adorable LoLo.

Happy, happy Wednesday to all you crafters out there.

There are only two days left in this week and then we can have a weekend of crafting.

Last month was Christmas in August, so we could all get a head start on gifts and decorations.

So, I'm curious how many of you have actually started your hand crafted gifts?

How far along are you and do you think you will be finished in time?

I hope I'm not the only procrastinator here. Lol

Nella
