I’ve had a dis-AAA-ster!  My camera’s packed up!  It’s like having my left hand tied behind my back (and I am left handed) I think I’ve probably worn it out, I’ve used it nearly every day for 13 months.  Anyway, it’s off to the repairers, but that won’t happen till after Christmas, and I’ve ended up trying to get stills off my little Flip video camera, and they’re not up to much. So I can’t show you a lot today, but in the spirit of Handmade Monday, I’ll do my best.

Do you remember this, which I brought home from the Knitting and Stitching Show at Ally Pally?

Wel,l when I had a sudden urge to make paper chains, Origami paper seemed to the answer. I bought a multicoloured pack in Hobbycraft, 5 7/8″ square, divided each square into 6 strips and set to work with the Pritt stick and Hey Presto! paper chains to match the Origami Ball!

We still haven’t got the Christmas tree up, every time we try it snows and sleets and makes it wet again!  I think we’re going to bring it into the utility room tonight to dry off, or we’ll never get it decorated.  Hopefully I can find a way of sharing it with you before the big day.

If you call over at 1st Unique Gifts you’ll find all the other crafty people, busy with their Christmas makes and linking up  for Handmade Monday.

See you soonxx
