Swap with my friend

 I had a private ornament swap for Christmas with my friend Veronica and she sent me some gorgeous hand made ornaments. Two origami baubles. They look so delicate and decorated with beautiful beads,  A little walnut shell which she has cleverly used as a little bed for a tiny bear! And a tiny Christmas stocking that she has embroidered herself. Such delicate work  .     The photos don’t do them justice.

Thank you so much Veronica for your beautiful ornaments. They are all proudly hanging on my tree now. 

I in return made for her this little lady whom she has named Fiona, Veronica she will sit happily on your tree. I guess she must have been a bit cramped after her long journey so you could not get her to cooperate with you 😀. I really enjoyed making her for you.

Treasures of the deep

During beach combing I found these treasures, well they are treasures for me although they don't look that great compared to shells from other parts of the world. There is always something exciting about finding your own shells for me? I may give a facelift to couple of these shells.
